Murakami, one of Japan's most respected bass professionals, developed both models during his years with Tsunekichi before establishing his own brand Issei in 2013 - making all Tsunekichi Hama Crank and Co Hama examples from this period genuine Murakami-designed collector pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kinkaku colourway takes its name from Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺) - the Temple of the Golden Pavilion - Kyoto's most iconic and visited landmark, a 14th-century Zen Buddhist temple whose upper two floors are entirely clad in gold leaf, built as the retirement residence of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Where its sister colour Ginkaku references the restrained, wabi-sabi silver aesthetic of Ginkaku-ji, Kinkaku references the opposite tradition - Japan's opulent karei aesthetic of golden, luminous beauty, reflected in the mirror pond of the Kyoko-chi before it. Produced exclusively for Kyoto-based tackle retailers and never distributed through standard national channels, the Kinkaku colour is one of the most geographically restricted and culturally resonant colour designations in the Tsunekichi catalogue - available only within Kyoto's tackle retail scene and forming a natural paired set with the Ginkaku alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tsunekichi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48251087749257,"sku":"WG-TSUN-HAMA-133","price":94.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/1038\/4009\/files\/Gem-527.jpg?v=1788257182","url":"https:\/\/wildersfishing.com.au\/products\/tsunekichi-co-hama-crank-55mr-kinkaku-kyoto-exclusive","provider":"Wilder's Fishing \u0026 Supply Co.
