fishing… tokyo style

Well I was coming back from taking some photos for a magazine article and happended to change trains at Ichigaya. It’s strange to think people can take pleasure in this kind of fishing, it’s like throwing some fish into a swimming pool and going at it. (Actually, that sounds kind of fun…)
