Fishermen from Oki Islands were eager to go to Takeshima for fishing. A "Takeshima Development Devoted Worker Group" led by Toshi WAKITA, President of the Kumi Fishery Co-operative Association of Goka Village, consisting of 10 or more members including Minetaro MAEDA, a famous fisherman for fishing to Takeshima in the past, got on Shimakaze, Fisheries inspection vessel of Shimane Prefecture, under the guidance of SHIGETA, Deputy Director-General of the Fisheries, Commerce and Industry Department of the Prefecture, and IGAWA, an engineer, then, secretly departed for Takeshima on May 2nd.
