AWAJI

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 67 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AWAJI , an
island
  belonging to Japan, situated at the eastern entrance of the Inland Sea, having a length of 32 m., an extreme breadth of 16 m., and an area of 218 sq. m., with a
population
  of about 190,000. It is separated on the
south
  from the
island
  of Shikoku by the Naruto channel, through which, in certain conditions of the tide, a remarkable torrential current is set up. The island is celebrated for its exquisite scenery, and also for the fact that it is traditionally reputed to have been the first of the
Japanese
  islands created by the deities Izanagi and Izanami. The loftiest
peak
  is Yuruuba-
yama
  (1998 ft.), the most picturesque Sen-zan (1519 ft.). Awaji is noted for a
peculiar
  manufacture of pottery.
