Tag: Tenkara Lifestyles

A collection of articles by Dennis Vander Houwen
“The tenkara lifestyle manifests in many ways. It is not just about the mere fishing technique but also includes the way we look at, choose, and use our gear. It is about placing emphasis on simplicity, connection with nature, and a minimalist approach to angling. Some, like me, find meaning in the meditative aspects of this form of angling, while others appreciate the portability and ease of using tenkara as an enjoyable way to fish. While each of us perhaps have a personal way that we relate to tenkara in our lives, we all share the love of tenkara and that love has likely transformed our lives in some way. That is maybe at the heart of it all. How we live into the role of being a tenkara angler. The tenkara lifestyle is about all the things we do to keep tenkara alive and growing.”
