Ukai Fishing in Japan
📍 Uji, Kyoto
🐟Cormorant fishing, known as “ukai” in Japanese, is a traditional fishing method that has been practised in Japan for over 1300 years. The practice involves using trained cormorant birds to catch fish in rivers.
👀 How does it work?
The fishing is done with the help of trained cormorant birds. These birds are equipped with a small collar that prevents them from swallowing larger fish. After catching a fish, the cormorant returns it to the boat.
👀 When to see Ukai fishing?
Cormorant fishing is typically conducted during the summer months, usually from May to October. The evenings are chosen for the activity when the cormorants can dive into the water to catch fish.
👀 How to see Ukai fishing?
Many places offer boat tours for tourists to experience cormorant fishing up close. These tours often include traditional performances and explanations of the fishing process.
🤗 Cormorant fishing is not just a method of obtaining fish; it also holds cultural and symbolic significance in Japanese tradition. The practice has been celebrated in literature, art, and festivals.
