May: Tomonoura Tourism Tai Ami (Sea beam net-fishing)

Tomonoura sea beam net-fishing has been held for about 380 years of tradition. This “Tomonoura Tourism net-fishing” recall the traditional fishing method. Madai (Red Seabeam) has come back to Setonai Sea; the birth place; around Cherry Blossoms bloom timing for egg production. And this sea beam net-fishing is waiting for the school of Red sea beam. Chest-thumping drumming and melody of good catch are blended and Otohime; the princess dancing good-catch pray dance on the boat. [More] Sea beam net-fishing tells of arrival of summer in Tomonoura. “Yeah! Ho! Yeah! Ho!” while runs up “good catch” flag, the ship out to the sea. This is gallant!
