Front cover: Naruto Strait, a strait between Shikoku and Awaji‐shima Island, is famous for the huge Naruto‐no‐uzushio (Naruto whirlpools) that is generated by Japan's fastest current of sea water caused by the tide. It is thanks to the function of our inner ears that we can hear the roaring sound from and feel the acceleration of the rotation of the whirlpools. We saw an illusion of the structure of the inner ear (the semicircular canals, vestibule and cochlea) in a huge whirlpool that shook us by the inner ears. Designed by TRAIS Co., Ltd. (Kobe, Japan).
