The choices

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. And there is always around you for the choices.

Tatar region travelogue

Do you know what Tatarskii Proliv in Sakhalin was discovered for by Japanese people in 1809? His name is Rinzo Mamiya. He was a shogun's retainer living at the Edo period. I am interested in his achievement and would like to experience the scene which he looked at, and the felt thing.
As a starter, I got the replica of the map of Sakhalin which he drew from the National Archives. It was very elaborate and completely did not bore me. And I obtained "Tatar region travelogue" the other day. It is a modern language translation of the report which he submitted to the Edo Shogunate. I would like to become on intimate with kayakers in Sakhalin (Russia) taking advantage of this. Then, the Greenland style may spread also in Russia. ;-)
