Ukai: Traditional fishing method with help of cormorant

Description

Kyoto, Sep 14 (EFE/EPA).- Japanese traditional cormorant fishing called Ukai uses trained cormorants to catch river fish. Birds are prevented from swallowing fish they catch by snare on their neck. Kyoto's Ukai, which dates back more than 1,000 years, are held mainly for tourists in summertime, attracting thousands of spectators daily. However, the tour operator is struggling to attract customers as the nation struggles to revive its economy amid coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.
