Fishermen's Wisdom, Ota

From ancient times, knowledge of the winds was essential for people who lived near the sea to determine the best time to do go about their work. It also governed their lives. The "ai wind" blows from north to east, and is a good wind for fishing. The "tabakasu" blows from north to west, and is the wind heralding-cold autumn gales. Just when you think it is about to turn into a storm, it suddenly stops blowing.
