Japanese fisherman under Yunotaki (湯の滝)
I took today’s photograph on our trip to Nikko last month. I didn’t realize the base of a waterfall would be such a popular spot for fish, but he was catching (and releasing) fish after fish (or maybe the same one over and over again).
This waterfall reminded me a bit of Hokusai’s Kirifuri Waterfall.

Gorgeous photo! That is one brave fisherman but lots of time that is where the big ones are.

Thanks for both the photo and the picture of the Hokusai print. I wish I’d thought to do something like that when I was taking pictures in Japan 2007.
