FAIS Katsuyoshi Matsui Production Landing Net - Vintage - Keiichiro Iwai Lineage

This is a handmade landing net by Mr. Hakukichi Matsui.
It is a round type model, similar to the one used by Mr. Keiichiro Iwai, and is a Round S type for small streams.
It is a rare item from that era, difficult to obtain now, with a simple and easy-to-handle size. It can be used immediately for actual fishing.
Lightweight and easy to handle. Classical wooden frame. Handmade from that era.
Size: (Width 18cm, Inner diameter 24cm, Total length approx. 35cm)
Weight: 69.6g (Please note that there may be errors due to self-measurement.)
This is the Round S type.
(This is a smaller size of the Round Type L, which Mr. Keiichiro Iwai favored.)
Features: A serial number handwritten by Mr. Matsui himself is inscribed near the grip end.
Some numbers are burned in, making them difficult to see.
In an era where rubber nets are now mainstream, this is a masterpiece filled with Mr. Matsui's design philosophy, pursuing beauty as a tool and practicality of that time. Although it is a vintage item from about 20 years ago, his exceptional skill can be seen in the curves of the frame and the finishing of the details.
Please note that there are minor dents, fine scratches, and dirt from actual use, so please check the images.
This is a used item, so please only purchase if you understand this.
