| Comment |
Ukai (cormorant fishing) in
the Nagara-gawa River is a traditional fishing method practiced
for some 1300 years. Six cormorant fishermen work the river, handing
the technique down through their families, and approved by the Imperial
Household Agency. The equipment used, a set of 122 pieces of fishing
gear, has been designated an Important Tangible Cultural Asset.
Ukai is also an Intangible Cultural Asset of Gifu City. Come and
see the traditional ukai of the Nagara-gawa River, and prepare to
be enchanted. |
