Japan Fishing Industry - from our story 'Tokyo, Japan 1917-1950: Rare Images Of Love, Loathing And Life'

In traditional costume, bird fishermen demonstrate to a Tokyo crowd how to make the birds give up their catch of fish, July 23, 1949. Gentle stroking of the birds’ necks usually does the trick. The birds cannot swallow the fish because of a metal ring around their necks. (AP Photo/Charles Gorry) Ref #: PA.11787857
