            Boats set out on journey to replicate migration 30,000 years ago

            Two boats made of bulrush leave Yonaguni Island for Iriomote Island, both in Okinawa Prefecture, on July 17, 2016, on a journey to replicate part of a hypothetical migration by a group of ancient settlers from what is now Taiwan about 30,000 years ago. The 6-meter-long vessels made of a local plant called himegama, which is similar to narrow leaf cattail, will sail the 75-kilometer journey between the two Japanese islands near Taiwan with a research team from Tokyo's National Museum of Nature and Science on board.
