Musa

Musa lies beside the long sandy coast of Kujūkuri, where shallow waters made beach seines a practical way to catch sardines. Fishing grew greatly during the Edo period, as crews drew their nets ashore and processed the catch into dried sardine fertiliser. The product travelled to Edo and farther afield, including northeastern and western Japan. The open coast thus supplied farms beyond Bōsō as well as food for its own fishing villages.
