    A local resident harvests hijiki, or seaweed, from the Camp Courtney beach shoreline, Feb. 20. Hijiki grows on the rocky coastlines around Japan, Korea and China. Camp Courtney opens its gates to the residents of Kunbu, Tengan, Akano, Uken and a Fisherman’s Association from Ishikawa Prefecture for the Hijiki Festival. The Hijiki Festival consists of 10 low-tide days in February and March where the sub-village residents harvest hijiki from the beach’s shoreline.
