This item was received directly from a cormorant fisherman in Gifu in 1995. It is a beautiful woven mat/table center featuring the scene of "Ukai," the traditional cormorant fishing method, with the fiery bonfires reflected on the river surface against the backdrop of Mt. Kinka and Gifu Castle towering at the summit, with the cormorant fishermen and cormorants working in unison. It has been stored at home unused. It measures 56cm wide x 35cm long. The back is covered with white cloth. There are no noticeable scratches or stains on the front, but there is a stain on the back as shown in the photo. Please understand. It came in a simple box, but it will be shipped without the box due to personal information written on it. It is a very beautiful mat. I hope someone will enjoy it. It is a piece that evokes the romance of historical figures such as Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Perfect as a computer cover! I think it can be used in various ways, such as wall decorations, interior decor, and covers. [About Ukai: Quoted from the WEB] Against the backdrop of Mt. Kinka and Gifu Castle towering at the summit, which evokes the romance of the Warring States period, the "Ukai" traditional fishing method, where cormorant fishermen and cormorants work in unison, with the fiery bonfires reflected on the river surface in the pitch-black darkness, invites you to a mysterious world as if you have time-slipped to ancient times, forgetting the present. Its history dates back over 1300 years, and it has been protected by the powerful figures of the time, such as Oda Nobunaga, who gave the position of "cormorant fisherman," and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who favored Ayu sushi and had it presented to Edo. It is said that Ieyasu and Hidetada, father and son, stayed in Gifu on their way back from the Summer Siege of Osaka in 1615 and watched Ukai. Welcome to bulk purchases!
