Folktales about the ocean tell us many things about how we have lived alongside it, of customs for learning about it, making preparations, and avoiding risks, but also ideas of morality, including gratitude for its bounties and making it an object of religious belief. At the same time, folktales also play a role in fostering a sense of belonging for the places that appear in the stories told. Through the Ocean Folktale Town Project, we hope to provide tourism resources, work with interested companies, and expand our activities on a national scale.
