小笠原諸島の島の名前

小笠原諸島の島の名前
 
何気なく気象レーダーを見ながら離島をズームで見ていたところ、東京都の小笠原諸島に家族を意味する名前が付いていることを発見。父島、母島は聞いたことがあったけど、思わず笑ってしまった。
もう少し意味のある個性的な名前は思いつかなかったのか。
調べたところ、江戸幕府が1675年に派遣した伊奈忠易率いる小笠原調査団によって発見、命名したそう。
父島・兄島、母島・姉島・妹島はそれぞれ隣接していますが、婿（むこ）島、嫁島、媒（なこうど）島は微妙に離れていて、リアル…
 
While absentmindedly looking at the weather radar and zooming in on a remote island, I discovered that the Ogasawara Islands in Tokyo are named after family relations. While I had heard of Chichijima (Father Island) and Hahajima (Mother Island) before, I couldn't help but laugh.
 
I wondered if they couldn't come up with more meaningful and unique names. Upon researching, I found out that these islands were actually discovered and named by the Ogasawara Expedition, led by Ina Tadayasu, dispatched by the Edo Shogunate in 1675.
 
Chichijima (Father Island) and Anijima (Brother Island) are adjacent, as well as Hahajima (Mother Island), Anejima (Sister Island), and Imoutojima (Younger Sister Island). However, Mukojima (Son-in-law Island), Yomejima (Daughter-in-law Island), and Nakoudojima (Matchmaker Island) are located somewhat far apart, which is quite interesting.
