Realizing His Dream

On July 11, 1893, after enormous

efforts of research and experimentation, Mikimotos wife, Ume,
hauled a basket of oysters from the
sea for inspection. Nestled within
the folds of an oyster, a gleaming
object caught her eye. A pearl! Her
husbands dream had finally become a reality.
Mikimoto had discovered the secret to cultivating beautiful pearls of such
quality that they rivaled natural pearls. In 1896, Mikimoto was granted
his first patent for cultured pearls. He based his flourishing business on
Ojima Island where his first pearls were grown, renaming it Pearl Island.

Overcoming Adversity

Mikimoto learned that Akoya oysters produced the best

pearls. He explored methods of introducing a particle into
the flesh of the oyster to stimulate secretions of nacre that
build up in hundreds of thousands of layers, creating a lustrous pearl. He overcame many failed experiments and challenges of nature, from oyster-eating octopi to a disastrous red
tide of bacteria that threatened the survival of his oyster beds.
