Shikanoshima: A Treasure Map of the Intertidal Zone

When the tide recedes, children rush to the beach with small buckets, turning over stones like little detectives. 'I found a clam that squirts water!' my son exclaims, only to be startled by a fiddler crab that suddenly appears, causing him to fall into the water. While grilling seafood, my daughter insists on naming each shrimp, and finally, she holds a burnt 'Little Rainbow' and chokes up, 'Is it in pain?' You secretly stuff the shrimp into a rice ball, watching her smile through her tears as she bites into the 'Magic Seafood Ball.' Before leaving the island, the whole family arranges shells into a smiley face on the sand, waiting for the gentle waves to wash it away.
