Traditional salt making on Tokunoshima Island
AMAMI, Japan - Noriko Yoshihisa, a 70-year-old housewife in Isen, Kagoshima Prefecture, splashes a bucket of seawater into naturally made hollows of coral reefs on a beach near her home on Tokunoshima Island on Sept. 11, 2011, to produce salt in a traditional way. After drying the seawater in the hollows in the sun for several days, she will boil it down in a big pot for five to seven hours to make salt with ''a gentle taste and lots of minerals,'' Yoshihisa said.
