Magic and the Night River of Nagaragawa (near Gifu, Japan)



Last spring, for Susan Grace's 9th grade English class, she read a short story called, Magic and the Night River by Eve Bunting. It is about a Japanese boy and his grandfather who fish with birds called Cormorants (a fishing practice that is over a thousand years old).
When we were planning our trip to Japan, Susan Grace had the wonderful suggestion that we find a place where we could watch Cormorant fishing.
