Modern society has a lot of anxiety and worries, and it is difficult to live in a stressful society. For a change of pace, I go to the aquarium and look at the fluffy jellyfish, which soothes my soul. The slow movements of jellyfish have been scientifically proven to have a healing effect. Jellyfish float gently in the water, calming the hearts of those who watch them. This movement has the effect of making the parasympathetic nervous system dominant and reducing stress. Jellyfish are creatures without brains and do not think, but they have all the functions needed to survive. Its mysterious ecology also attracts people’s interest and curiosity. There are over 3,000 species of jellyfish in the world, and they come in a variety of shapes and colors. When you look at jellyfish, you can experience the wonder and beauty of nature.

アカクラゲ Japanese sea nettle Chrysaora Pacifica
The Japanese sea nettles look elegant with their thread-like, bright red tentacles. This red jellyfish can also be seen all over the coast of Japan, but its beauty makes it dangerous to touch it. The Japanese sea nettle’s poisonous stinger is very strong and can be very painful. When the Japanese sea nettle is floating in the sea, it can have long tentacles that are over 2 meters long. The red tentacles that flutter each time the umbrella is opened and closed are delicate and beautiful, making it a sight to behold.
