Hey! Tonbu

Studio: OLM (The Apothecary Diaries)

Summary: The story begins with Igarashi, who was disqualified as a pro golfer after a certain "incident" and thus moves to Kagoshima Prefecture's Tokara Islands to step out of the limelight. On these islands known as "Japan's last unexplored wilderness," he encounters a naive girl named Tonbo. As it turns out, these supposedly unexplored islands have a homemade golf course, where Tonbo plays every day. She demonstrates genius-level prowess, playing every kind of shot with just one golf club, a 3-iron. Igarashi is amazed at Tonbo's talent, even as he harbors doubts about her only using a 3-iron. Yet, hidden deep in Tonbo's heart lies a painful, sad past...

Note

it is the hime habu!

Oh cool. Thank you for the confirmation and clarification!

So I think it is true that there are 4 vipers living on Okinawa? And 2 of them are native, while another 2 are introduced?

Ovophis okinavensis (hime habu, princess viper). An endemic species in Ryuku Islands, including Okinawa.

Protobothrops flavoviridis (habu, Okinawa habu). Also an endemic species in Ryuku Islands, including Okinawa.

Non-native, introduced: Protobothrops elegans (Sakishima habu). And though it was introduced to Okinawa, it is still actually a kind of “local” snake and is an endemic species of Ryuku Islands, though it originally naturally lived in Yaeyama Islands (south of Okinawa).

Not native, introduced: Protobothrops mucrosquamatus (brown-spotted pit viper, Taiwan habu) which originally naturally lives across a large stretch of land including most of southern mainland East Asia.

Here's an English-language graphic from Okinawa Prefectural government:

(And then I think the Ryuku Islands are also home to another endemic species of Protobothrops -- P. tokarensis -- which lives in Tokara islands closer to Kyushu?)

Previously, I had read that the small Indian mongoose (Urva auropunctata) was deliberately introduced to Okinawa around 1910, to eliminate rats that fed on profitable sugar cane crops, and also to eliminate habu.

When I first saw that photo/post with the hime habu, I went off and tried to learn more about mongooses on Okinawa.

I found a cool informational/educational pamphlet kind of thing released by The Ministry of the Environment Naha Nature Conservation Office and Okinawa Prefecture Environmental Life Department.

The pamphlet explains the history of mongooses on the island, and also describes the uniqueness of Okinawa's many endangered and/or endemic species including the critically endangered Okinawa woodpecker; an endemic species of leaf turtle; an endemic subspecies of ground gecko; and many cool amphibians like the crocodile newt.

They are all threatened by the mongoose, since there were no native carnivorous mammals living in Yambaru/northern Okinawa before the mongoose arrived.

A similar fate shared by Hawai'i, Fiji, the Caribbean, and Okinawa: The introduction of mongooses to protect colonial cash crops, followed by the death of many birds, snakes, amphibians, etc.

All of those endemic and endangered island creatures of Okinawa... Consider all of that environmental damage resulting from the initial introduction of "merely" 17 mongooses.

Worldbuilding: What Everybody Knows That Isn’t So

Sometimes everyone in a setting “knows” something that turns out to be flat-out wrong. The world is flat, disease is caused only by evil spirits, sacrificing hearts on an obsidian altar keeps the sun in the sky. And sometimes... everyone knows what’s actually true, but upholds a polite fiction in public so no one has to officially notice and do something about it. No one really wants to do all the paperwork to haul in someone going three miles over the speed limit on the highway,

and - very often - no one wants to go to war when trade is much more profitable.

In the 1600s, given trade between China, Japan, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea, this led to the invention of an imaginary country, Tokara.

The Tokara Islands actually exist; twelve small islands in a larger archipelago. Only seven are inhabited today. They have a native pony, and, on two islands, a native pit viper. What they don’t have are a lot of people. But... they existed, and were closer to Japan than Okinawa, which made them convenient for a diplomatic sleight of hand.

Long story short, the Ryukyu Kingdom had been a tributary state of the Ming Dynasty up until about 1609, when the Tokugawa Shogunate invaded and took over. The Tokugawa were not a tributary state of the Ming, very pointedly not. Which made things unexpectedly sticky. First, if the Ming had it rubbed in their faces that a tributary kingdom had been attacked, they’d have to do something about it. Ships, cannons, grand sea battles; very, very expensive to both sides. Second, and maybe worse - if the Ryukyus weren’t a Chinese tributary state anymore, the Ming might cut off trade.

Nobody wanted that.

Obviously face-saving deception had to be the order of the day. Officially, the Ming were not to know the Ryukyu Kingdom didn’t belong to them anymore. Officially, there were no Japanese on the islands. Nope, none, not ever. (They were actually supposed to hide on days the Chinese officials showed up - there were manuals written for it and everything.) And if by some accident someone turned up anyway with a Japanese hairstyle, other odd items, or speaking Japanese? Oh, silly us, that’s a traveler from Tokara! You know, that nation right next door that does a lot of trade with the Japanese, much more than we do? But they’re not Japanese, ha ha, of course not, what would Japanese be doing in the Ryukyus?

(Chinese officials in public: Solemn nod, because Of Course Not. No member of that barbarian nation that didn’t pay tribute to the Heavenly Emperor would dare. Of course not.

(Chinese officials back on the boat: Whew, crisis averted, I really don’t want to lose my head by hinting to the court that we lost control of a tributary kingdom... if the courtiers didn’t get me, the merchants would!)

This apparently kept Europeans believing there actually was a Tokara state until at least the mid-1800s.

I have to admit I find this all amusing in part because I am very bad at tuning in to what “everybody knows”. So this just strikes me as the usual social ridiculousness writ very, very large.

But also in part because this gives me a potentially interesting bit for the isekai, when Jason has to explain where he’s from to anyone who doesn’t know the whole story. He’s a historian with a focus on Early Modern Japan. He would know about Tokara.

So if he goes with “I’m from Tokara”, then anyone in trade or court-associated in Japan, China, or Korea can pigeonhole it into, “Oh, that mess No One Wants To Talk About. Got it. Moving on....”

(Info from various web searches and a very neat bit in Sea Rovers, Silver, and Samurai, edited by Tonio Andrade and Xing Hang.)

The Ryukyu Islands

While many people today consider these islands to be a southern expansion of Japan, the Ryukyu Islands, part of present-day Japan, have a rich history and culture separate from Japan.

The island chain is best understood when broken up into parts, as they are spread apart and have thus developed different histories and cultures.

Osumi Islands (大隅諸島)

The Osumi Islands, along with the Tokara Islands are very close in proximity to Japan and belong to the present-day Kagoshima Prefecture, causing it to be placed with mainland Japan in most cases.

The island Tanegashima (種子島) is credited with being the place where the first Portuguese traders in Japan landed, thus being the birthplace of western goods, namely guns, in Japan.

The Osumi Islands share a namesake with the Osumi Province of the Edo Period (江戸時代), which the Osumi Islands themselves were a part of.

Tokara Islands (吐噶喇列島)

At a population of just under 650, the Tokara Islands are the smallest of the Ryukyu chain. They are first supposedly referenced in the Shoku Nihongi as “Tokan” (度感), although the real location of Tokan is debated. The islands, due to their small size, are administrated as one village, known as Toshima ( 十島村), or in English, “Ten-Island Village.”

Amami Islands (奄美大島、ウーシマ)

The Amami Islands, like the Osumi, are very close in proximity to Japan; however, they retain much more geographic and cultural similarity to the more southern reaches of the Ryukyu. It has been an important stop for ships and ferries since the Nara Period (奈良時代), and its coasts play a dominant role in local traditions, as well as its modern economy.

The Amami Islands are also an important stop for biologists and divers. The waters are the northernmost habitat for dugongs, and its forests are the northernmost habitat for the infamous habu (ハブ), a viper native to the Ryukyuan Islands. It is home to many species that are found nowhere else, most famously the Amami hare.

Okinawa Islands (沖縄諸島、ウチナー）

Okinawa is the most populous group of islands of the Ryukyu chain and is home to many of the most widely known aspects of the chain. It’s largest historical city, Shuri, was the capital of the once mighty Ryukyu Kingdom, and its largest modern city, Naha, is the capital of present-day Okinawa Prefecture, which covers the southern part of the Ryukyuan Islands. While the name Okinawa is used in Japan to refer to the whole prefecture, within the islands, it refers only to the Okinawa Islands, which are in the middle of the archipelago.

Okinawa first appears in history as a shell heap culture, shown by large mounds of fossilized shell remains found on the island. These mounds provide nearly all record of pre-historic human life in Okinawa, and they show a striking similarity to mainland Japan’s Jomon people, causing theories as to the end of the Jomon Period to lead to Okinawa.

Okinawa’s most notable historical period is its gusuku (城) period. The term gusuku refers to Okinawan castles, and this period is the result of Okinawa’s people learning agriculture, thus moving away from the shores and forming a feudal society, causing a need to build castles. Unfortunately, the majority of these castles were partially or fully destroyed in the Second World War; however, many, such as the famous Shuri Castle, have been rebuilt.

Okinawa has been a major port stop for all of recorded history in both Chinese and Japanese accounts. During Japanese sakoku policy in the Edo Period, Okinawa, a tributary of both Japan and China, was a convenient loophole for Japan to trade with China, as China did not trade outside of Chinese tributaries at the time, and Japan did not allow even merchants to leave or reenter Japan. Okinawa was also the site of the bloodiest battle of World War II’s pacific theater, decimating the islands and killed over a third of the population. It was then occupied by American forces as a result of Japan’s surrender and became a hub for American military bases in Japan, which has become a subject of hot debate.

The Okinawan language was also once the official language of the Ryukyu Kingdom and was widely spoken across the archipelago; however, with Japan’s annexation of Okinawa, the use of the language was punished, most notable with the use of dialect cards in Okinawan schools. In order to discourage the use of Okinawan, it was named a dialect of Japanese and children were encouraged to speak Tokyo Japanese. While it is now known that Okinawan is in fact its own language, many Japanese people will still call it a dialect (although this is partially due to the dominance of Okinawan Japanese, a dialect of Japanese with roots in the Okinawan language.)

Okinawa is home to many endemic animals, such as the endangered Okinawan rail and the habu. Much of Okinawa’s economy is supported by sugarcane and pineapple farming, as its subtropical environment gives it a long growing season and plenty of rain. It is also home to one famous mythological animal: the shisa. This lion-dog is the protector of the Okinawan Islands and is gifted with the ability to keep bad spirits at bay in households. They are beloved by Okinawa’s inhabitants and are decorated in many different ways.

Miyako Islands (宮古列島)

The Miyako Islands, due to their location, show much more cultural influence from China than from Japan. Nevertheless, the language of the Miyako Islands is placed in the Ryukyu family of the Proto-Japonic branch, and likely descends from Old Japanese, much like Okinawan.

The Miyako people unfortunately have a bad reputation among the Ryukyuans: due to the belief that behavior follows one’s bloodline, along with the fact that Miyako was an ancient prison island gives the inhabitants the bad reputation of being criminially inclined. However, in modern times, this assumption is becoming more archaic and young people are inclined to ignore it.

The language of the Miyako Islands, along with Okinawan, Amami, Yonaguni, and Yaeyama, are the most widely spoken Ryukyuan languages, and the diversity of the Ryukyu Islands is often shown by comparing words from each.

Yaeyama Islands (八重山列島、エーマ)

Being the closest to Taiwan and mainland China, the Yaeyama Islands are the least Japanese influenced of the Ryukyu Islands and show cultural influence from both Austronesia and China. The islands are bursting with wildlife, such as dugongs, whales, dolphins, and many other sea creatures that flock to its plentiful coral reefs. It is also home to countless endemic plant species.

Strong quake jolts islands in Kagoshima Prefecture | The Japan Times

A strong quake jolted the Tokara Islands chain in Kagoshima Prefecture on Thursday, but no tsunami warning was issued and there were no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage.

The magnitude-6.1 quake, which hit at around 11:05 a.m., measured upper 5 on the Japanese shindo seismic intensity scale of 7 on Akuseki Island, the Meteorological Agency said. The focus was at a depth of 14 kilometers, with the epicenter in waters near the Tokara Islands chain.

Municipal authorities said they have confirmed the safety of 64 residents and 12 visiting workers on Akuseki Island, situated more than 300 km from Kagoshima city on the main island of Kyushu.

The small island chain that falls within Kagoshima Prefecture has been hit by more than 240 earthquakes since Saturday — mostly minor shakes measuring 1 or 2 on the shindo scale.

The weather agency called for caution against more quakes of up to upper 5 on the shindo scale. But officials and experts say the quakes are not necessarily cause for alarm as they believe the series of quakes is a localized phenomenon.

The area saw a similar series of mostly minor quakes in April, when 265 temblors ranging from shindo 1 to 4 were observed.

Kyushu Railway Co. suspended Kyushu Shinkansen services for about 15 minutes following Thursday's quake due to a temporary blackout, but it resumed operations soon afterward.

So there was a strong earthquake in Japan today (Shindo 5+, magnitude 6.0) with its epicentre on the adjacent sea of Tokara Islands.

[if you are somewhere in public in Japan I advise you to wear headphones while watching the video below, as the sounds may cause unnecessary panic in others]

youtube

Luckily no tsunami warning was issued (and I think that there was quite a significant probability of at least a small tsunami appearing given the fact that the earthquake appeared on the sea), I’ve heard that the earthquake might have appeared because of the volcanic activity in that area

Also, you can notice that at the very beginning of the video the estimated magnitude of the earthquake was 8.0 (!) but it was luckily quickly adjusted, I’m sure it gave a lot of people a scare seeing this at the beginning (＞﹏＜)

Sparsely and sporadically-populated for several thousand years, through multiple historic volcanic eruptions, Suwanose-jima is the second-largest island of the Tokara Archipelago. Its small airfield sees no regularly-scheduled flights on its notably short 2,300-foot landing strip, but pilots on approach are treated to a stunning view of one of the most active stratovolcanoes in Japan.
