The Japanese City Where Food Is Steamed...

March 25, 2022

Wandering through the small, labyrinthian Kannawa neighborhood in Beppu City is nothing short of dreamlike. Steam spews in dramatic, billowing clouds from hot-spring vents into the sky. Wisps of steam hiss and curl around you, rising from drain pipes and cracks in the road as though the streets are a giant sauna. Beppu is home to the highest concentration of hot springs in Japan: More than 100,000 liters of water gush from its 2,300-odd hot spring sources each minute....

The Muriquis of Feliciano Miguel Abdala Reserve...

March 25, 2022

A section of preserved Atlantic Forest in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais is one of the few remaining habitats for the critically-endangered muriqui. The largest and heaviest monkey native to the Americas, the muriqui is largely folivorous, meaning that it feeds mainly on the leaves of certain trees. The large and incredibly strong tail of this primate is prehensile and is used with great dexterity as a fifth limb to swing through the rainforest canopy. Often called the “hippy monkey,”...

Ichimonjiya Wasuke in Kyoto, Japan

March 25, 2022

Even among Kyoto’s many historic shops, Ichimonjiya Wasuke, which has been in operation for more than a thousand years, stands out.

In that time of famine and plague, it was believed that offering bamboo skewers to the gods there would offer protection from diseases. At Ichiwa, as the confectionery is affectionately known, aburi-mochi is the only offering...

Albaola Itsas Kultur Faktoria in Pasaia, Spain

March 25, 2022

Just outside of the city of San Sebastian lies the small town of Pasaia, which was once a main whaling port of Europe. The town has a long boulevard and active port.

A little bit of a history lesson is needed here: the Basques were among the first people to catch whales for commercial reasons. They...

Hasting's Net Shops in Hastings, England

March 25, 2022

In the 1800s, a shortage of space on the beach for the shore-based fishing fleet created restrictions on the space for fishing storage sheds, where nets and other equipment were kept dry. This resulted in fishermen with only eight or nine square feet to build to design storage vertically. These thin, timber storage sheds up to three stories high were used for storing and mending the nets. They were known locally as net shops. The sheds were originally built...

March 25, 2022
