Many Japanese festivals are of historic origins. Some date back to the medieval era. We believe that that there are also festivals of modern origins, although we have very limited information. We note one festival called the "Sea Festival". This seems to be a modern festival. The festival seems in part to showcase fisheries technology. I am not sure just where the Sea Festival pictured here is one is held. Japan as an island nation. The sea has not been as important to Japan as some other island nations. The Japanese are not noted seafarers. Fisheries on the other hand has traditionally been important. There are a lot of coastal villages where the people have traditionally made thei living from the sea. Since World war II Japan has built one of the world's most modern fishing industries, including both aquaculture and highly industrialized distant-water fishies. A very substantial portion of the animal protein in the Japanese diet is seafood.
