Men haori with the old cormorant fisherman from 'Ukai'

Men haori with the old cormorant fisherman from 'Ukai', Haori for a man with a decoration on the lining of a rectangular representation of an old man in a boat at night fishing is with cormorants, a basket and a fire pit in the boat, against a backdrop of a representation in silhouette of hills and a man fishing with cormorants in a boat. Text on the rectangle. The fish (usually ayu) are attracted by the fire, the leashed cormorants are prevented from swallowing the fish with an iron ring around the neck. This image and text probably refer to the No-theater piece Ukai (The Cormorant Fisherman), in which two monks meet an old cormorant fisherman at the Isawa River, who turns out to be a ghost.
