This is a familiar drill, as heavy rains often carry mines across the border. In fact, dozens of them washed up in South Korea last year, killing one and injuring another.

Every part of the process– the stripping of bark from Kozo (Mulberry) branches, the boiling of the bark with lye in huge ovens, careful cleaning of the bark with cold river water, the pounding of the resulting Kozo pulp with pine hammers– each action was performed by the entire town; children, mothers, grandmothers and farmers all participated in the transformation of wood into ‘washi’ (Japanese paper). But only one person, would be responsible for actually drawing the wet paper out of a liquid bath of dissolved Kozo pulp and Tororo-aoi roots (Japanese mountain yam– used to help bind the Kozo).

It seems on paper indeed a possibility, but I have doubts about it. The civilization of hunting will be gone (it is mostly the case already), transforming it into a real sedentary community. But the most important change might be the growth created by the massive input of new cultures in the north. All these ships and planes are carrying people. If the traffic increases a lot, some of these people will start staying in these areas and will dilute the initial culture by pushing it in different directions. The traffic will also create massive ecological issues.

The current relationship between community and the goods they rely on is faceless, and with the decline of subsistence hunting due to changing migration patterns, the connection to food is disappearing.
