Winnowing the grain was done on windy days, when it was tossed in the air from shallow baskets to separate the rice from the chaff. The harvest period was also an anxious time, for there was always the possibility of a devastating typhoon at this season. [Okinawa: History of an Island People, Kerr, 1958] |
