The successful eradication of the nonnative mongoose from the island of Amami-Oshima in Kagoshima Prefecture has shifted focus to Okinawa island, where the task is a much bigger challenge due to the larger population of residents. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/23/japan/society/okinawa-mongoose-eradication/ #japan #society #mongooses #animal #okinawa #amamioshima

The Environment Ministry Tuesday declared the eradication of non-native mongooses on Amami-Oshima island, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in Kagoshima Prefecture. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/03/japan/japan-mongoose-eradication/ #japan #mongooses #animals #amamioshima #kagoshima #environmentministry

I bought my first ever bottle of Shōchū.

I LOVE IT!

Of course I had to know more and I did my homework.

Have a good Sunday.

Sketchnote of Yayoi Araroka Kokuto Shōchū, a Japanese distilled beverage with 25% alcohol. It is made from rice, barley, black sugar, white koji (a mold used for saccharification), and sugarcane. Produced in Amami Ōshima, Japan, a volcanic island inscribed in UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2021. The island's sugarcane cultivation began over 500 years ago and became its main crop in the mid-18th century. The naturally hardened drinking water of the island contributes to the shōchū's flavor. The sketchnote includes illustrations of ingredients, the island, and the product bottle.

The Amami Islands, now part of Kagoshima Prefecture, marked the 70th anniversary of their return to Japanese administration on Monday, at a time when the number of U.S. citizens who were living on the Amamis before their reversion is decreasing. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/12/26/japan/history/us-woman-amami-oshima/?utm_content=buffer6068d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #history #amamioshima #nancymills #kagoshima

I'm nearly at the end of 天国と地獄〜サイコな2人〜 (Heaven and Hell: Soul Exchange), with 1 episode to go, and I've really enjoyed it. Despite its serial killer subject and a somewhat shaky body-swap premise, it ends up quite wholesome in a peculiarly Japanese way.

My two random takeaways are a new word I learned because it's pretty central to the plot: 歩道橋「ほどうきょう、 pedestrian bridge」 and the existence of 奄美大島 Amami Oshima, an island roughly halfway between the southern tip of Kyushu and Okinawa, which I now really want to visit 😊

In this episode, we speak with linguists and individuals working on reclaiming languages with three distinct #Ryukyuan languages. These languages originate from the following locations known in Japanese: #AmamiOshima, #Miyako, and #Yaeyama. Join us in conversation with Madoka Hammine, Michinori Shimoji, Martha Tsutsui Billins, and guest host Micah Mizukami, who share their focus in their respective languages, linguistics, revitalization, and identity.

The mongoose's presence on Amami-Ohshima led to a decline in other native species on the island, and is an example of how human interference in nature goes wrong. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2023/05/18/environment/japan-close-eradicating-mongoose-amami-ohshima-island/?utm_content=buffer89d29&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #life #environment #animals #mongoose #amamioshima #rabbit #environment
