A whale was hunted down on a street here by harpoon-brandishing fishers Aug. 14.Much to the relief of animal rights activists, the whale was made of papier-mache in this re-enactment of a traditional hunt once carried out in the Ise Bay. It was part of the annual Kujira-bune Gyoji (whale ship festival) of the Toridejinja shrine to pray for a big catch.The gorgeous ship float "chasing" the whale was bedecked with sculpted ornaments and upon it the fishers brandished a fake harpoon.
