FULL TRANSCRIPT
Welcome to The Japan News
What could be more peaceful than floating through a mangrove forest in a canoe?
A Yomiuri Shimbun reporter did just that recently, on a visit to the Amami Islands of southern Japan, listening to birdsongs as she paddled along.
She learned that one kind of tree in the forest has floating seeds that take root after they lodge in the burrows of crabs.

The island is of volcanic origin, with Mount Yuwanda at 605 metres (1,985 ft) above sea level at its highest peak. The coast of the island is surrounded by a coral reef. It is surrounded by the East China Sea on the west and the Pacific Ocean on the east.
The climate of Amami Ōshima is classified as has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa) with very warm summers and mild winters. The rainy season lasts from May through September. The island is subject to frequent typhoons.
Fauna Amami Ōshima is home to several rare or endangered endemic animals, including the Amami rabbit and the Lidth's jay, both of which are now found only in Amami Ōshima and Tokunoshima. The Amami rabbit is sometimes called a living fossil because it represents an ancient Asian lineage that has elsewhere disappeared.
The island is also home to the habu, a venomous snake that can be found throughout the Ryūkyū Islands. Mongooses were introduced to kill the habu, but have become another problem, as an increase in the mongoose population has been linked to the decline of the Amami rabbit and other endemic species.[2]

“Authentic Amami Oshima Tsumugi (Pongee)” A spiritual textile born in Amami, the silk road of the ocean The Oshima Tsumugi is said to be one of the three top textiles in the world, along with Persian carpets and Gobelin tapestry. It has existed from approximately 1,300 years ago, from the Nara era in Japan. Today, it is manufactured in various areas of Kagoshima Prefecture, but because its roots are in Amami Oshima, officially it is called “authentic Amami Oshima Tsumugi”. Mud dye, which is made possible by the iron rich mud created by Amami’s nature, dyes silk threads into a beautiful, shinny, deep, rich black color. The delicate graphical splash patterns that are drawn by a gathering of over 10 million dots is reversible, characteristic of plain weave. Made through a manufacturing period of over six months, and approximately 40 creative processes, the authentic Amami Oshima Tsumugi has many one-and-only unique characteristics.
About Amami Oshima: Amami Oshima, located approximately in the middle of mainland Kagoshima Prefecture and Okinawa Prefecture, is the 3rd largest remote island in Japan. There are many natural and scenic sites on the island, such as Kinsakubaru Virgin Forest where mangrove and other subtropical plants grow, along with rare animals, Ohama Coastal Park famed for its beautiful sunset, and Ayamaru Point where one can enjoy a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean.

Kagoshima Combini
Sweat glands and tear ducts drained from an all-night farewell dance rager, JETs of Japan's most southerly regions Sunday morning-lazed under a tree at Dolphin Port, Kagoshima City.
A crane bound for Izumi resting grounds flew overhead. Make a music video, it honked. OK the JETs cooed back.
A Japanese dance team practicing by the water keenly joined. Travelers hydrofoiling to meet Princess Mononoke on Yakushima reveled in the sight of East and West super-colliding. North Korean spy satellite monitors wept with joy.

[한국어 정보] 서양의 문물을 일찍 받아들였던 사쓰마번은 근대 산업의 발전도 주도했다. 여기는 19세기 유리공예 공장을 다시 복원한 곳으로, 유리제품을 만들고 있다. 이 공장에서는 19세기 전통 방식 그대로 공예품을 만든다. 유리를 불고 다듬어 그릇을 만들고, 색깔을 입힌 표면을 기계로 갈아 완성한다. 160년 전, 사쓰마 번에서 만들기 시작한 ‘사쓰마 기리코’는 가고시마를 대표하는 특산품이 됐다. 영롱한 색깔과 정교하게 다듬어진 무늬가 무척이나 아름답다.
[English: Google Translator] Satsuma Burn, who accepted Western artifacts early, led the development of modern industry. This is a reconstruction of 19th century glass craft factory, making glassware. This factory makes crafts in the style of the 19th century. The glass is blown and polished to make a bowl, and the finished surface is finished by machine. Satsuma Kiriko, which began to be made in Satsuma Bay 160 years ago, became a special product representing Kagoshima. The colors and elaborate patterns are very beautiful.
