Exploring Tradition, Culture, and Science on Amami Island: Memories & Reflections from Amami Symposium 2024

(English follows Japanese)

10日前に海から陸に戻ってきたMiyaです〜 

去年11月に奄美シンポジウム（正式名称: 「亜熱帯Kuroshio研究教育拠点の形成と展開事業・市民参加による海洋総合知創出手法構築プロジェクト合同シンポジウム」←長いですね…)に初めて参加させていただきました。主催者と参加者の両方の立場で参加できたことは、私にとって非常に豊かな経験でした。デザイン、登録、カメラマンとしての仕事など、様々なサポート業務を通してスキルを磨き、一方で講演を聴いたり、ポスター発表「アワビの貝殻が黒潮と親潮の変動を記録するアーカイブとして」（図１）を行うことで、科学的な知識を深めることができました。

図１: 奄美大島の高校生と教師にポスターを発表している私。

このシンポジウムで特に印象に残ったのは、産・官・学が連携し、「business-as-usual」（現状維持）を超えて取り組んでいる様子でした。特に、クジラの保護活動、JACの環境保全ツアーの取り組み、JALが旅客機を使って生物多様性をモニタリングしている取り組みなどに感銘を受けました。また、与論島の学生たちと再会し、奄美大島の学生たちとも交流することができ、こちらも素晴らしい経験でした。学生からの「良い質問の仕方をどうすればいいのか」という質問は、聴衆から多くの反響を引き出し、私自身も好奇心、批判的思考、そして勇気について深く考えさせられました。

このシンポジウムを通して、奄美と沖縄の豊かな文化への繋がりが深まりました。私は、長年、元ちとせさんや中孝介さんなど、奄美出身のアーティストを通じて島唄に魅せられてきました。本物の島唄を聴くことは、深く感動しました。少し不思議かもしれませんが、私の母の故郷である中国の一つの少数民族であるペイ族の「大本曲」を思い出させました。おそらく、どちらも自然からインスピレーションを得て口承で伝わる伝統であるため、島唄を聴くたびに、私は「故郷」を感じましたかもしれません。環境省の則久雅司さんの、「21世紀の人類には、奄美・沖縄の文化が必要だ」に関する発言は、私にとって深く共感できるものでした（図1）。地球環境問題が深刻化する中、伝統的な生態学的知識（TEK）は、人間と自然が共存していく上で欠かせないものとして注目されています。特に、奄美や沖縄、そして私の国の少数民族が持つTEKは、現代社会の消費主義や自然への過度な利用に対する、貴重な考え方や生き方をもたらしてくれるはずです。これらの文化を大切にし、広めることで、持続可能な社会の実現に貢献できると考えています。島唄や大島紬など、奄美や沖縄の文化がまだユネスコ無形文化遺産に登録されていないのはなぜでしょうか。これらの文化が世界に広く知られ、認識・促進されることで、より持続可能で、多様性に富み、公正な世界に貢献できると考えています。ただし、文化の盗用には慎重であるべきです。伝統的な知恵を現代の科学と融合させることで、人間と自然の調和のとれた関係を築くことができるはずです。

図２：「21世紀の人類には、奄美・沖縄の文化が必要だ。それが何なのかを探せ！」

今後、奄美島で研究を行いながら、地域の人々と交流し、科学と文化を融合させることで、地域の活性化に貢献したいと考えています。そして、地域の方々にも研究に参加していただき、研究者と地域が一体となって研究を進めていきたいです。最後に、今回の奄美での素敵な思い出を写真にまとめましたので、ぜひご覧ください。

[ENGLISH]

Coucou~ This is Miya who just returned to the land from the ocean 10 days ago~

Last November, I was honored to participate in Amami Symposium 2024 (the super long full name is "Implementation of the Subtropical Kuroshio Research and Education Center for Evaluating the Japanese Environmental Changes and Ecosystems in Anthropocene"😂), both as an organizer and a participant. , It was an incredibly enriching experience for me. Supporting tasks like design, registration, and working as a cameraman honed my skills, while listening to the lectures and presenting my poster, “Abalone Shells as an Archive for Kuroshio and Oyashio Variability” (Figure 1) deepened my scientific knowledge.

Figure 1: Me presenting my poster to high school students and teacher from Amami Island.

The symposium deeply impressed me with the collaborative efforts between industry, government, and academia to move beyond “business-as-usual”. I was especially inspired by whale conservation efforts, Japan Air Commuter (JAC)’s ecotourism initiatives, and Japan Airlines (JAL)’ biodiversity monitoring using passenger aircraft. On November 16th, reconnecting with students from Yoron Island and engaging with Amami Island students was equally rewarding. A student’s question, “How can we ask good questions?” left a lasting impression, sparking a lot of response from the audience, as well as my personal reflection on curiosity, critical thinking, and courage. 

The symposium deepened my connection to the cultural richness of Amami and Okinawa. I have been drawn to shima-uta (local folksongs in Amami) for many years through contemporary artists from Amami Islands like Chitose Hajime and Kousuke Atari. Listening to authentic shima-uta was profoundly moving, reminding me of “Daben Qu,” a Bai ethnic narrative art from my mother’s culture in rural China. Perhaps because both are nature-inspired traditions passed down orally, listening to shima-uta always gives me a sense of belonging and home. Mr. Masashi Norikazu’s remarks on the importance of Amami and Okinawan cultures in the 21st century resonated deeply in me (Figure 1). Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) is increasingly recognized as crucial for human-nature coexistence amid global environmental challenges. I believe Amami, Okinawa, and ethnic minority communities in my home country hold valuable TEK that offers alternatives to mainstream consumerism and nature domination. We must rediscover, preserve, and promote these cultures to counterbalance unsustainable societal values. I also wonder why these cultures of Amami and Okinawa, such as shima-uta, oshima-tsumugi, and hajichi, are not yet registered as UNESCO intangible cultural heritage. I suspect that these cultures may not be widely known within Japan, and I wonder whether registering them could help with their preservation and awareness. Personally, I think we can contribute to a more sustainable, diverse, and just world by recognizing and promoting these cultures while being cautious of cultural appropriation. Furthermore, integrating traditional wisdom into modern scientific practices can help us restore the balance between humanity and the environment.

Figure 2: “Humanity in the 21st century needs the cultures of Amami and Okinawa. Explore what that means!”

In the future, I hope to conduct research in Amami, engage with local communities, and contribute to area revitalization through bridging science and culture. I also aspire to involve citizens in my scientific endeavors, strengthening the connection between researchers and community. At last, I would like to present a collage of the pictures that highlights some of my favorite memories in Amami during this trip. Please enjoy :)

Better Late Than Never: A Throwback to the R/V Mirai MR24-02 Research Cruise (March 2024)

哈咯～ D1のMiyaです！It’s February 2025, and I’m finally writing about a cruise that happened in March 2024. Why now? Because I’m heading on another one next week and, and instead of packing, I’m reminiscing. Call it procrastination or call it "mentally getting into the ocean zone"—either way, here we are.

The Struggle is Real (But Temporary)

Last March, I boarded JAMSTEC’s R/V Mirai (未来, "future" in Japanese) for my second-ever research cruise. We set off from Mutsu, Aomori, drilled 6-meter piston cores from the Chishima Trench (~6000m deep) near the Kuril Strait, and ended in Shimizu Port, Shizuoka, next to the legendary Chikyu (地球, “Earth”)—IODP’s deep-sea drilling vessel.

The first five days? Rough. Literally. I had just said my last goodbye to my grandmother in Beijing, was running hourly water sampling solo, and was severely sleep-deprived while trying to instruct others on something I was still figuring out myself. Large waves, constant motion, and self-doubt hit all at once. But as the days passed, I found my rhythm.

Finding Joy in the Deep

The moment I started getting along with everyone, and leaning on my shipmates for support, things shifted. I wasn’t just surviving—I was enjoying it. The student-led workout sessions every night became a mental health lifesaver (even some professors joined in!). Watching "Deep Blue" while the ship rocked in a storm was surreal. The footage of penguins stumbling on land after returning from sea had me laughing way too hard—because honestly, I could relate.

Watching documentary among the waves~ (I feel lucky that I didn't get seasick)

There was also a magic show performed by a fellow student (who happens to be a semi-professional magician), spontaneous chats with professors, students, and the crew from マリンワーク and 日本海洋事業, and deep-dive lectures on turbidites and contourites that rekindled my love for sediments. (I had drifted away from sedimentology after working on Antarctic sediments for my bachelor's thesis, shifting to seawater and then abalone shells—but this cruise reminded me why I loved it in the first place.)

Another super fun thing is I experienced using mouth to suck out some water in from the top of the pilot core to let the flow begin. I tried it once and accidentally drank a little bit of seawater from >5000m! How amazing!!! 

Oh one more thing, the first split of the piston core is like teppanyaki (if you know what I mean)

Water Sampling as Main Job, Sediment Subsampling as Side Job

This time I am in charge of water sampling. We only collected pumped up water of surface ocean with no CTD. Surface seawater is pumped into the vessel from the bow and can be collected from a faucet in the laboratory. Water sampling and discharging from the stern is done constantly so that local seawater can be sampled in real time. We sampled samples for dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) at 72 sites and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) at 14 sites. 

During my free time, I helped with core splitting. Playing with mud is so much more fun than staying up all night for water sampling! Not that I don't enjoy water sampling at all :p Or maybe, it's because there were so many people helping with sediment core splitting and chatting with them was fun.

Captain’s View & Learning to Lead

Since I was the only person doing water sampling, I had to track the ship’s location, speed, and direction to decide my sampling frequency. That meant I had the privilege of visiting the captain’s room multiple times—easily the best view on the ship.

Most importantly, I grew a lot on this journey. I learned that asking for help isn’t a weakness—it’s a skill. Learning when to take responsibility on myself and when to delegate tasks is a skill I still have to polish. 

Group photo at the beginning of the cruise (when I didn't know anybody on board)

Group photos at the end of the cruise (when I knew almost everyone on board). I was late for the first one where more people were in :p

What’s Next?

I once dreamed of working on Chikyu and even got accepted for a part-time job last year with マリンワーク, but then could not end up going since my residency in Japan caps work at 28 hours/week. Boarding Chikyu also requires helicopter evacuation training, where they drop a full-scale helicopter into a pool, flip it upside down, and make you escape. For several times in various scenarios! Sounds wild, but I still want to try someday.

Despite the struggles, the exhaustion, and questioning my life choices mid-waves, ocean science keeps pulling me back. The adventure, the unknown, and the deep-sea secrets make it all worth it. For now, I’m gearing up for my next cruise—hopefully with a little more sleep, a little more balance, and just as much excitement. I will bring ukulele this time heehee 🌺

Until next time—
Bon voyage! 🚢💙🌊

Jumping again!
