Season 6 Episode 36 - Traveling Fisherman: A Life of Squid Fishing
There is a port where fishermen gather from all over Japan in pursuit of the finest squid. It is the port of Kottoi in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The squid caught offshore is known for its clear, shiny beauty and delicious taste, and is served at restaurants for several thousand yen per fish. Away from their hometowns, the fishermen sleep in cramped cabins, hoping to make a fortune at each catch. Some are veterans with 40 years of experience, while others are young Indonesians who have come to learn the art of fishing. The film follows the drama of these men in a small port where squid fishing is booming in the summer.
