Cormorant fishing master, known as usho, Youichiro Adachi (left), 48, holds the leashes tied to the necks and bodies of cormorants as he prepares for cormorant fishing or ukai, on the Nagara River in Oze, Seki, Japan on September 8, 2023. This 1,300-year-old fishing technique consists of swinging a basket of flames over the river to wake the ayu river fish, who dart away from their resting spots and give the birds a chance to catch them and then release them into a bucket with the usho's help.
