Sea-Horse casting rod

Question
I recently bought this rod at a auction and can't find any information on it. It is a bamboo rod it is 1/2" in diameter at the where it meets the reel seat. It is a two piece rod that measures 65" in length. The only markings is a label that says Sea-Horse Japan. Can you give me any information on the rod and estimated value?

Answer
Jeremy,
Yes your rod is Japanese, value is none.
Originally sold by the thousands to GIs in a light long box with lures and huge flies . Mostly considered trinkets by collectors but memorial to GIs , they have little resale or fishing value. I have never seen any written history on them in English except the following. http://www.maxrod.net/article/
There is  a book  on Google books, with a little history  and a  limited preview: Bamboo In Japan by Nancy Moore Bess
