About this event

Pasadena Casting Club is pleased to host bamboo rod maker, Yudai Mochizuki, and vintage collector, Nobuyuki Sugito, on the morning of 4th of July.

Yudai and Nobuyuki will be embarking on a trunk show in the American West, where they plan to attend Bamboo Days hosted by the Henry's Fork Lodge and return to California for a second year, where they will have a showroom at the Tortoise General Store in Venice Beach.

Come and meet our esteemed guests and showoff any bamboo rods in your possession and understand their approach to the craft as part of this East Meets West exchange. Their rods and goods will be on for sale as well.

Light refreshments/food and coffee will be provided.
