  • An ailing Japanese fisherman of Minamata in 1970 had expressed his love for the ocean as…

    When I though I was dying
    And my hands were numb
    And wouldn't work
    And my father was dying too
    When the villagers turned against us
    It was to the sea
    I would go to cry.

    No one can understand
    Why I love the sea so much.
    The sea
    Has never abandoned me.

    The sea
    Is the blood of my veins.
