Tomorrow's Leaf" (Ashitaba)

I recently bought seeds of "Tomorrow's Leaf" (Ashitaba) at a home center. 150 yen. This vegetable, which is native to the Izu Islands, grows wild locally. It belongs to the Umbelliferae family, well, it's an Apiaceae, but it is characterized by its exceptionally high content of vitamin B12, which is essential for brain function, along with comfrey among plants. This is a beauty that vegans should cry for joy in. Recommended. It's just a little big.

明日葉

私は最近ホームセンターで「明日葉」（アシタバ）の種を購入しました。１５０円。伊豆諸島が原産のこの野菜は、現地では自生しています。セリ科で、まあ、セリの仲間ですが、脳の働きに不可欠なビタミンB12を、植物では、コンフリーと並び、例外的に含有していることが特徴です。これは、完全菜食主義者：ヴィーガンにとって、泣いて喜ぶべき美質です。おススメ。ただちょっと大型です。

Izu Islands

Aogoshima Island

This is an aerial view of Aogoshima Island, one of about a dozen volcanic islands south of Tokyo in the Philippine Sea, seven of which are inhabited. Aogoshima is the southernmost of these inhabited islands.

In the Western Pacific, the Pacific Plate is subducting beneath a series of plates, including the Eurasian plate to the North beneath Japan and the Philippine Sea plate here. That subduction leads to a linear series of volcanoes trending south from Tokyo where the Pacific, Philippine Sea, and Eurasian Plates meet.

The island shows a gorgeous set of volcanic structures. The outer ring of the island is a large collapsed caldera; a gap created when the volcano above erupted, clearing space in the magma chamber into which the peak collapsed. After the large eruption that produced the caldera, volcanic activity continued and a smaller peak has re-grown in the center.

Eventually, this peak may well grow large enough to dominate the island and collapse into a caldera again, a continuing cycle seen with many large volcanic systems.

(Hachijo, old prisoner island far from Tokyo [Well City], but now it's good to go.) It's the best known part of a lesser known island chain of the Izu Islands, south of the Izu Peninsula near the capital with a distinct & beautiful culture.

御蔵島には『われらをめぐる海　THE SEA AROUND US』（レイチェル・カースン著）を持って行った。

島に着いた朝に、ゲストハウスの部屋でページを繰ると、今まで読み進められなかった内容が、自然と頭の中に染み込んでいった。都会に戻ってからは、全く本を開けていない。

海辺に立ったとき、人は、自らの家系について無意識のうちに意識しながらも、驚きと好奇をもって、それを見渡したにちがいない。かれは、アザラシやクジラたちがしたように、肉体そのものをふたたび海のなかに帰らせることはできなかった。しかし何世紀にもわたってその技術と才智、それから理性の力のすべてを動員して、人は、海のもっとも遠くはなれた領域さえも、探索し、調査しようと努めた。

その結果、人類はいわば精神的に、また想像の力で、ふたたび海に帰ったのである。

こうして人間は、かれの母なる海へ帰ったと思っている。しかしかれは、その短い陸上の仮住まいの間に、陸地を征服し掠奪したようには、海を支配し変革することはできない。都会や町のような人工の世界のなかにいると、かれは自分の惑星の真実の姿や、人類という種族の存在がほんの一瞬間を占めたにすぎない、この惑星の長い歴史のなかの追憶の数々を、しばしば忘れてしまうものである。
