What are the peculiar occupations in Japan?

1. Dolphin Bay enthusiasts

Japanese dolphin hunter, a traditional and bloody profession.

People in diving suits shuttle between dolphins trapped in shallow bay, and their fingers carefully skim the skin of each dolphin to ensure that there are no scars on its back and tail. When you first saw this scene, you might think it was an interaction between humans and dolphins, and it was a kind of gentle care. But in fact, it is businessmen who choose goods and trade millions of pounds of dolphins.

The best dolphins (usually young females) will be sold to the aquarium at a price of 5,654,380,000 pounds (about 5,065,438,000 yuan) each. Dolphins eliminated by businessmen with slight skin defects will be slaughtered in Taiji Town in southern Japan.

2. Traditional tatami craftsmen

Let's feel the beauty of traditional Japanese crafts. Tatami originated in China in the Han Dynasty and was introduced to Japan from China in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It has a history of nearly two thousand years. It is a kind of furniture woven from rushes, which is placed on the ground all year round for people to sit or lie down. Tatami is divided into modern craft and traditional craft. At present, most tatami in the world are made by modern technology, pressed into semi-finished products and repaired by hand.

Tatami is a luxury enjoyed by wealthy families. Moreover, the traditional tatami is plain tatami with no pattern on the surface. Pure Japanese tatami is a natural product, so it is moderate in hardness, warm in winter and cool in summer, and has excellent health care effects on the growth and development of children's bones and the spine and lumbar vertebrae of the elderly. Especially suitable for young people who live in big cities and are busy day after day. It is a good solution for them.

distraction

In recent years, a special service JK Walking has appeared in Akihabara, which can be distributed with female high school students. Going out for a walk and eating with girls averages 8,000 yen per hour.

Pick up the body

The body here is really not tuna, but a drunken woman.

As we all know, the nightlife in Japan is very developed, and you can often see women who drink very high and then go home alone and stand on the roadside. Many gentlemen will take these drunken women home, something bad will happen, and then call her family or friends to ask them to take them back. Due to the lack of money, improper disposal afterwards, the victim was completely unconscious and other factors. Few people will report to the police. Not only in Japan, but also in Taiwan Province Province and Britain.

Carry the body

The Japanese are superstitious. When they found a body, they wouldn't let it take the elevator, so someone had to carry it down the stairs. Moreover, Japan is a country that pays more attention to personal privacy, so no one knows that someone will die at home. Only when the corpse rots and stinks will the neighbors call the police, and the person who carries the corpse can earn a good salary. And when he walks down the stairs, every floor will stop to have a rest, so that people on this floor can come quickly, bow and smile, and then hand in red envelopes.

This profession should be authentic, and because the Japanese are superstitious, and this kind of work requires a lot of physical strength, and it is not superstitious. Generally, the Japanese do not do it, and even the poor students in China think it is too cheap, and there are few candidates. Generally, the work of carrying corpses is done by migrant workers in Southeast Asia, and even overseas students in China.

6. Cocoa Bean Hunter

Chocolate made from cocoa beans grown in different environments has a completely different taste. Sometimes people who make handmade chocolate want to develop new products, but they can't find suitable chocolate raw materials in the market, so the post of cocoa bean hunter was born.
