Cormorant fishing is an unusual ritual practised in Japan. These aquatic birds are expert fish catchers with razor sharp beaks. Fishermen, called ‘usho’ in Japan, use the birds to catch fish, tying strings around their throats to stop them eating their catches. Once the birds surface on the water with a fish, the ‘usho’ removes it from their gullet. The ritual takes place in the evenings and fishing boats are hung with flaming lamps to attract the fish.
