Kume islanders cash in with abundance of natural saltDate Posted: 2003-09-13 Several residents are taking advantage of the phenomena, and collect salt for sale. “It looks like small ice cubes. It is quite unusual to see so many salt puddles. We see similar salt producing puddles every two or three years, but this year the puddles are much larger and the amount of salt is also larger than usual. We are very lucky indeed,” a woman collecting salt on the beach said. Another elderly woman collecting salt said that making salt used to be hard job. “Long time ago we had to make natural salt by carrying seawater to large shallow pools on land. It was very hard job. But now dry weather makes salt naturally, isn’t nature wonderful,” she beamed. |
