"The Skeleton Whale is attacking whaling ships... it sounds like revenge."
"So the Skeleton Whale that appears off the coast of southern Wakayama every few years could be the transformed spirits of the whales that were killed during those years?"
Kamiyagawa fell silent, just pondering this thought in his mind.
Internationally, to prevent overhunting of all types of whales and to preserve the rich natural resource of the whale species for future generations, whaling is strictly regulated.
Most countries have signed the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling.
However, a very small number of countries continued to engage in whaling activities, following their own course.
Japan was one of them and the scale of their whaling was enormous; they even used the guise of "scientific research" to conduct commercial whaling.
