On Mikimoto you can see everything that is related to the pearl. Long ago women divers harvested the oisters and the pearls. These days the women divers are still going down, but they only harvest seeweed. The pearls are grown in a cultivated way.

Where ever you go you will always see people at work. Sometimes at the roadside like this picture, but also in the offices. In the office opposite to our hotel in Osaka we saw people working at 1 AM , 6 PM or when ever we looked out of the window. |

you caught very nice pictures of castles, shrines, cherry-blossom, etc. I like your first Japan page with children and bicycle. Its a typical scene. | sailor_p Mon Jul 16, 2007 03:10 UTC
