Thank you so much for this informative video. I now realize that I have some ceramic fishing net weights. I may have found them off the west coast of Honshu on the Oki Islands, but I can't remember. I am dying to find a glass float! I first visited Ishinomaki after the tsunami to help clean up. Just last summer, I traveled from Sendai all the way to Hachinoe to see the reconstruction. It was interesting to see all the changes. While there, I had hoped to do some beach combing, however I don't know the best places for beach combing. If you have any recommendations, I would love to know, as I hope to visit again. By the way, I live in Yokohama.

[@Beachcombing]

Wow! Fun to find the fishing net weights!

[@wendymiyaji4015]

Splendid Christina, I learnt a lot, you look amazing.

[@dianebedard6495]

Do you sell them ?I would love to get some .

[@tomburkard9961]

Love you video Christina. I went and checked my two glass balls for markings right away, and found KITA on one of them. What do you know! Hi to Pete!

[@reversegem564]

Well hello there!! How good is that about your glass floats! We really do need to head down to Okinawa again and see you folks!
