This is a quiz about islands, and on islands everything leads back to the sea. Questions cover the village of Sakitsu and the history of the hidden Christians, the white porcelain born of Amakusa pottery stone, the harbor song Ushibuka Haiya-bushi, the wild dolphins gathering off Tsuji Island, and the small aircraft of Amakusa Airline that tie the archipelago to the wider world. Food, festivals, and geography all carry the flavor of salt air and long crossings. The questions favor those who see the islands as locals do, from the waterline rather than the map. Read the tide with the daily challenge question, then set out on the real crossing.
