AFP Photo ?@marteauburin - Japan's 'usho' keep alive the ancient art of cormorant fishing -
.
In the pitch black night, fires burn alongside a river in Japan's Gifu as a handful of men prepare for a ritual that dates back over 1,300 years: fishing with cormorants.
.
Dressed in traditional clothes, they look like they come from another time. They wield their cormorants, tied together with strings, like puppeteers.
.
Their profession, known as "ukai," was once common in waterside villages and towns throughout Japan and other parts of the world.
.
But it has been on the gradual decline for centuries, and now lives on in Japan as a tourist attraction and a carefully protected part of the country's national heritage.
