Cormorant fishing in Japan is a traditional fishing method known as Ukai, which has been practiced for over 1,300 years along the Nagara River in Gifu Prefecture.

This unique technique involves using trained cormorant birds to catch river fish, primarily ayu (sweetfish). The fishermen, called usho, control the birds with leashes while the birds dive underwater to catch fish.

The fishing takes place at night, with the fishermen using flaming torches to attract the fish to the surface. Each cormorant can catch multiple fish in its throat pouch, but a special ring around their neck prevents them from swallowing larger fish.

This traditional method is now primarily preserved as a cultural attraction and tourist spectacle during the summer months from May to October.
