The Japanese Char Poacher Under Attack

Synopsis

When the spawning season at the end of autumn arrives, the iwana enters a no-fishing period. But poachers go after the now-defenseless iwana to mount as specimens and sell — and this has become a problem. In the midst of this, one of the poachers is attacked by a wild bear. The adults who set out on a bear hunt back off when they learn the bear is a man-eater that should only inhabit Hokkaido. So old Ippei decides to summon a powerful helper to the village.
