Camellia Tea Ceremony
@camelliakyoto@mastodon.social  路  activity timestamp 2 months ago

On April 14th Japan's nori farmers travel to pay their respects to Drew-Baker's memorial overlooking the Ariake Sea, a huge bay filled with seaweed farms.

Drew-Baker's research into the mysterious life cycle of 'porphyra' solved the problem of how to artificially seed seaweed馃檶

It is no exaggeration to say that Drew-Baker inadvertently saved Japan's entire seaweed industry.

Marine biologist Segawa S艒kichi (鐎窛瀹楀悏) read about her detailed findings in 'Nature' magazine in 1949 and was finally able to piece together how to revitalise seaweed production.
