TOPSHOT - This picture taken on July 12, 2004 shows fishermen dissecting a Baird's beaked whale at Wada port in Minamiboso, Chiba Prefecture. - Japan sparked outrage in December 2018 when it decided to withdraw from the International Whaling Commission, saying it would return to commercial whaling as part of its cultural heritage. Rarely is that heritage more in evidence that in Minamiboso, a town on the Pacific coast some 70 kilometres (40 miles) south of Tokyo, that is home to Gaibo Hogei, one of a handful of remaining local whaling companies.
