LARGE SCHOOLS OF BLACK MULLETS CREATE PATTERN IN TOKYO RIVER

Large schools of black mullets swarm in a pattern in a small river in
Tokyo February 6, 2003. The fish has increased in number by tens of
thousands after the river was recently purified, but the reason for
their sudden increase in volume remains a mystery. NO RIGHTS CLEARANCES OR PERMISSIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS IMAGE

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Toshiyuki Aizawa, we witness a mesmerizing spectacle unfolding in the heart of Tokyo. The image showcases an incredible phenomenon as large schools of black mullets gracefully navigate through a small river, creating an enchanting pattern that seems to dance on the water's surface. The significance of this sight lies not only in its visual appeal but also in the story behind it. Just recently, the river underwent purification efforts which have resulted in a remarkable surge in the population of these mysterious fish. Tens of thousands now call this once polluted waterway their home, yet what exactly triggered their sudden increase remains shrouded in mystery. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of nature's resilience and ability to reclaim spaces previously deemed uninhabitable. The delicate balance between human intervention and natural ecosystems is brought into focus, prompting us to reflect on our role as stewards of the environment. Aizawa's skillful composition captures both the grandeur and intricacy of this unique occurrence. The contrast between the dark silhouettes of countless mullets against the shimmering backdrop evokes a sense of harmony amidst chaos—a reminder that beauty can emerge from unexpected places. This powerful image serves as a testament to nature's capacity for regeneration and invites us to marvel at its wonders while urging us to protect and preserve our fragile planet for future generations.
