cormorant fishing
A traditional Japanese fishing method using trained cormorants to catch sweetfish, performed at night by torchlight on rivers.
Formed from 鵜 (cormorant) + 飼い (keeping, raising). A fisher (a 鵜匠) handles trained cormorants that dive for 鮎 (sweetfish); a ring on the bird's neck stops it from swallowing the larger catch. Now mostly a summer tourist spectacle, especially on the 長良川.
