\n\t\t\t\tPurchasing and transferring Akoya oysters
\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\t\t\tThe pearl culturing business in Ehime is divided into two parts. Culturing Akoya mother oysters and producing pearls by using the mother oysters. We make a mass purchase of Akoya oysters that traders grew for about 2 years around this time of year.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNow the pearl culturing begins using these Akoya oysters.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\tPre-operation conditioning
\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n

After we purchase Akoya oysters, we pack them in the baskets.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWe pack many Akoya oysters into the baskets called \u201cpre-conditioning box\u201d. It is almost sealed and it doesn\u2019t let water go through. Then the baskets are submerged into the ocean.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe crammed Akoya oysters in the baskets gradually go into a state of apparent death as there is not so much water going through. Traders of pearl-culturing express this process as \u201clet them live but don\u2019t kill them\u201d, this is why.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
