Cormorant Fisherman of the Tama River
Cormorant fishing is a traditional method of fishing. The fisherman ties a string to the neck of each bird. When a bird catches a fish and swallows it, he pulls it back and make it spit the fish.
The fisherman looks just like this power line tower: having several strings tied to birds in his hands and pulling them.
I never heard real cormorant fishing has been performed on the Tama River. It is culture of the western Japan. The Nagara River is the most famous for it.
