In Asakusa Park. which Is the Co
ney Island OF Toxic. Japan. the for
elgn wanderer will have his attention
directed to an open booth or pavilion
which Is always crowded. Within the
flaps OF figured cotton print he finds .
large circular tank built up from the
floor TO about the level OF a mans
waist. The tank is shallow. contain.
ing not more than eight inches or a
foot OF water. and Il is filled with SO
or more heavy brown carp.
The spectator sees men. women and
boys enter the pavilion and for a cop
per sen purchase a slender. brittle
reed about foot in length. from the
end of which depends six inches OF
cotton line supporting barbless hook
shaped like a bent pin. Thus pre-
pared the seekers after fun move over
to the edge OF the tank and begin
their sport. This consists OF picking
out fish and by dropping the bent
pin hook In front Of It's mouth. max
ing an attempt to hook II by quick
upward jerk Of the line. Once . nsh
is hooked the problem is to lift Il out
OF the water and over the side OF the
tank without breaking the slender
reed pole.
This method OF fishing. II Il can be-
called fishing. does not appeal strongly
to the human sense OF foreign specta-
tors.
