Kaiko ken and Mongol Lee, Eun-Taek Writer Takeshi Kaikou was immersed himself in Mongolia in his later years. Hucho taimen, a rare spieces of fish, turned him to the land. In 1968 he first encountered hucho taimen at Konsen fields in Hokkaido. Catching this fish got him hooked for fishing for life. A decade later he left for Mongolia with hope to catch hucho taimen again, unaware that this would become his last fishing adventure. Hucho taimen is the fish that started as well as ended his fishing. Fishing for him was a tool to get close to all kinds of feelings that exist in the universe. His attraction to Mongolia stems from its people who are humble and miraculously free from greed and its land that they call “the Ocean of Grass.” Kaikou called its people “the master of non-possession” and started looking for the grave of Genghis Khan. He dreamed to solve one of the biggest mysteries in the world history. This dream embodied his life where he pursued the best experiences in everything he did. He thought that he could live thirty more years making this dream come true. Although unfruitful, chasing this dream was far from meaningless for him. This manuscript followed his adventure starting in his hucho taimen fishing.
