We plant seaweed in the winter so that it will grow big. The older men and women go out in ferries and boats to collect the seaweed.
People can also collect the seaweed with sharpened bamboo sticks.
Occasionally, you can also find seaweed in the syallows. The larder broken strands of seaweed are put into large vinyl bags the smaller strands are weighted into smaller vinyl bags. The bags are then staped shut. We sell the seweed to Yushima's visitors. You can use the seaweed in Miso-soup.
