Setouchi Suigun, known as pirates of Setouchi (inland sea), not only controlled the sea as their name suggests but also established history as a maritime people by their strict discipline in the sea. Times have changed. Is their spirit forgotten? The 21st century is a new era for the ocean. I look forward to seeing the oceans opened to the public and the establishment of new rules for utilizing the oceans through reviewing the fundamental values of them.
