Biological Science and General Biology
Field Research Note : Author Kawazoe, who has spent more than half a year photographing in the field, succeeded in photographing all species of Japanese salamander. In addition to the special natural treasure Japanese giant salamander, this is the only book that covers rarely seen salamanders. In recent years, new species of Japanese reptiles and amphibians have been discovered by DNA-analysis classification. From a global perspective, Japanese salamanders can be said to be a holy place for salamanders, but researchers and enthusiasts around the world are paying attention to new classifications and species. Salamanders are creatures that symbolize abundant and clean water unique to Japan and pure water gushing out from steep mountains, but they are almost unknown. It is said that it is difficult to find salamanders as much as searching for small jewels in the mountains, but that is exactly right. Even if you go and find them, you don't have much chance to meet them. There are many unknown aspects of their ecology and life history, so it is difficult even for veteran enthusiasts and researchers. This book introduces not only photographs of all species of Japanese salamanders, but also episodes of observing and photographing them together with natural history. In some regions, Hakone salamanders are still eaten as a precious source of protein in deep mountain villages (Hinoemata, Fukushima), and there is a custom of distributing シコクハコネ salamanders at Ishizuchi Jinja in Ishizuchiyama (Ehime). The relationship between humans and them is also mentioned.
