01 ／ Aoshima
So no whale could escape the bay,nets were strung out from Aoshima.
In the Edo period, a whale that entered Ine Bay was driven into an inlet after nets were strung across the bay mouth, centred on Aoshima. The whaling record was kept in Kameshima village from 1656 until the second year of the Taisho era (1913). Aoshima is two islands, and it keeps an Ebisu shrine said to date from 1619 and whale graves. Cutting trees on the islands has long been forbidden.
