It was fun to see your Japanese fisherman on your blog! Cormorant fishing is from Gifu is well known in Japan. A couple of months ago I visited a place where the cormorant themselves were caught. Right on a cliff over the ocean. The cormorant would fly near this cliff where a manned lookout was placed on the side of a cliff. No cormorant would think a human might be there and SNAP the cormorant would be netted and collared and sent to Gifu. Not so sure I approve of cormorant fishing or cormorant catching.
