The origins of the town name “Mifune” is so shrouded in history that even those crazy experts are uncertain. It appears that the Emperor Keiko (景行天皇) cruised Midorikawa to that spot where the rivers spout forth from the mountains when he was establishing his rule over Kyushu sometime in the 6th C. BCE. It’s also known for its complex geology and earthquakes galore.
A young woman (19), Fujikawa Yuma, drawing on her quake experience back when she was in JHS, has been hired by a civil engineering company to track the slow slog her hometown makes as tectonic forces do their work, despite being barely tall enough to peer through her electronic distance measurement device (EDM - I had to look that up). Best of luck to her, a young female in a male-dominated field! - William https://kumanichi.com/news/id185439
