An occasional temple showed its fine roof lines ; multitudes of bright flags, each announcing the name or occupation of the dweller below, lent gayety to this little town, lying against a dark background of cedar and spruce forest. The industry, other than omnipresent fishing, is collecting edible seaweed, which is dried and sent all over Japan, even to China.

Nine miles north of Rishiri is a still smaller island, Reibunshiri, and more villages. Washed by three remote northern waters, the Sea of Japan, the Gulf of Tartary, and La Perouse Strait opening into the sea of Okhotsk, the climate in winter is intensely cold, and the sea so rough that no steamers attempt an approach.
