"Kikigaki," or folk narrative recording, is not only the putting of someone's life experiences down into words, but is a process in which the interviewer empathizes with the thoughts and feelings the informants shares about their past, thus providing a vicarious experience of the informant's life through the transcribed recording. If the sharing of marine technologies with people in other countries is accompanied by such folk narrative recordings, I believe the technologies and systems we want to impart will take a firmer root in their daily lives.
