Cormorant Fishing in Gifu

[tootsie6011]

I was lucky enough to be on a sampan with gisha girls watching this unique event. The rice wine (sake) and fish platter were terrific. The gisha girls were so beguiling. In spite of our consumption, I remember the fish are attracted to the burning basket hanging from the front (bow?). Gisha girls are cool.
