Hole Punching: The Tamakinkintrio Challenge

Synopsis
A challenge for a "don-tsuki" duel reaches Sanpei. The challengers are the Tamakin Trio — Tamasaburo, Kinnosuke, and Torio — three kids who have won every turf war over the neighboring villages' fishing spots. "Don-tsuki" fishing fills a dammed pond with snow, raises the water pressure beneath, and drives stakes to make holes through which the fish gush up with the water. Having traveled village to village, the trio's teamwork is truly impressive.
