After that, a group of young men accustomed to fishing would travel to Yaeyama every summer to work in the bonito fishery. They formed a village fishery cooperative in 1921. This enabled them to build a gasoline-powered fishing boat in the village district of Jitchaku and work in the bonito fishery. At the same time, Nerome Goro and 14 others from the district of Maedomari had gone to the Senkaku Islands in 1912 and worked in the bonito fishery there, achieving considerable success before returning home.
