Meet Akoya pearls, starting with classification

Japan's Akoya is a species belonging to seawater pearls. The mother of the oysters is Markov's shell. This shell is called Akoya in Japan and is actually a transliteration of Japanese. Japan's Akoya seawater pearls and China's Nanzhu are actually the same variety. The nuclear culture technique of seawater pearls was invented in the middle of the last century when Japanese people practiced in China for many years. The Marsh babe species was introduced from the wild northwestern sea at that time and was propagated. From this point of view, Nanzhu is the originator of Akoya. Japan's Akoya pearls are mainly produced in Japan's Mie, Hiroshi, and Seto Inland Sea in Ehime Prefecture.
