YANG-02 – Cormorant Fisherman

For centuries, cormorant fishing was practised in parts of China as a remarkable partnership between fisherman and bird. Specially trained cormorants would dive beneath the surface, catch fish and return to their handlers, creating one of the most distinctive traditional fishing methods in Asia.

YANG-02 – Cormorant Fisherman captures this fascinating aspect of traditional Chinese life, offering collectors something quite different from soldiers, warriors and court personalities. The fisherman and his working bird evoke the quieter rhythms of life along China’s rivers and waterways.

This figure is particularly effective within a riverside, village or rural scene and adds an authentic everyday-life element to a larger Chinese display.

Available from The Military Workshop – a beautifully characterful John Jenkins piece celebrating a centuries-old Chinese fishing tradition.
