A Japanese farmer holds a handful of freshly picked olives on Shodoshima island, Thursday 13 November 2003. A bounty harvest of 93 tons of olives are expected this year from 20,000 trees on this island in Japan's Inland Sea. Olive growing was first introduced to Japan in 1908 to make oil for medical use. This small industry has since expanded to include oiled sardine products, cosmetics and oil for cooking. Olive oil has enjoyed booming popularity in Japan in recent years due to it's taste and health benefits. The wind mill was built in 1992 to commerate the island's sister relationship with Miros Island in Greece. An olive oil history museum and other Greek style architecture can be seen on the island.
