EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Japan, circa 1912. The image captures a unique fishing technique known as "Fishing with a Cormorant" on the Nagaragawa river. A Japanese photographer from the 20th century skillfully captured this moment, which is now part of a private collection. Intriguingly, this photograph was originally used as an illustration for Selected Pictures of Mikados Empire, Fine Souvenir for Visit to Japan. It was meticulously hand-colored to enhance its visual appeal and provide visitors with a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during that era. The sight depicted in this image showcases the harmonious relationship between humans and nature. Fishermen can be seen skillfully maneuvering their cormorants through the water using traditional fishing implements. This method allowed them to catch fish efficiently while maintaining ecological balance. As we delve into history through this photograph, it becomes evident that fishing played a significant role in early 20th-century Japanese society. The fishing industry not only provided sustenance but also served as an important economic activity. This print offers us a rare opportunity to witness Asian traditions and customs firsthand. It reminds us of how different cultures have developed unique methods to coexist with nature throughout history. Let's cherish these glimpses into our past and appreciate the beauty they bring forth from bygone eras.
