Uji City - Cormorant Fishing; Ukai 3 宇治市の鵜飼

A draw from the cup
Something in the taste of tea
The warmth of sunshine


. video

So as promised, here is a -brief- video of Ukai fishing on the Uji River. I always thought you were supposed to be quiet while fishing.... Apparently I was wrong. Next time, I'm pounding the side of the boat while chanting and see how I do! these guys seem pretty lucky.

Make sure to check out the previous posts for more information on Ukai.

I haven't been posting in Japanese at all lately. My apologies to my Japanese readers. Having finished the JLPT I will devote more energy to bi-lingual posting.

Enjoy the Video!!!!

  1. 久しぶりです。

    That fishing does look lively. btw, while looking through your older posts I had noticed you were doing bi-lingual posts. By the looks of it, you'll pass the JLPT for sure!
