Who, What, Why: Why do Japanese politicians wave fish?
One reason given for this in Japan is the similarity between the word "tai", and the word for "joyous", "auspicious" or "deserving celebration" - o-medetai.
When politicians do it, "it's mainly about mimicking what sumo wrestlers are seen to do after they win a tournament".
