The kunimasu is a species of salmon endemic to Lake Tazawa, in Japan. Around 1940, a hydroelectric dam made the lake so acidic that the salmon could no longer survive. As a last ditch effort to save them, kunimasu eggs were transported to Lake Saiko, near Mount Fuji. The experiment was thought to have failed\u2014and the kunimasu declared extinct\u2014until their rediscovery in Lake Saiko in 2010.<\/p>

I included ayu in this piece in honor of the first dam removal in Japan, the removal of the Arase Dam. One of many consequences of the dam included loss of sweetfish in the Kuma river, hurting the local fishing community.<\/p>

The impacts of damming and diversion can be so different from place to place, but I am always struck by how much of the story is familiar to me, someone who lives here in the American Southwest. - Samples are pictured. Photos are taken on my porch and are unedited, except for cropping.<\/p> <\/p> - The postcard's dimensions are 14.8 x 10.5 cm [5.8 x 4.1 inches]<\/p> <\/p> - Postcards are cheaper, but don't have the level of detail of Teemill's typical prints. Mine came with a white edge where it hadn't been trimmed closely.<\/p> <\/p> - The back has space to write, and is tagged with my ma`ai \/ double-ens\u014d. Super cute! [img 2.]<\/p> <\/p> - If you get up close and personal with this thing, you're gonna see every pore [img 3.] Gotta be cool with that.<\/p> <\/p> - Teemill is based in the UK. Shipping times vary accordingly. I live in the US, and my samples usually take 1-3 weeks to arrive.<\/p> <\/p> - I make $0.83 USD from each sale.
