One day an 18 months old girl named 'Imo' (one of the daughters in Koshima island's tribe) observed the eating habits of monkeys. Those monkeys were eating sweet potatoes not so comfortably, because the sand and grit sticked to them. By observing this she discovered an idea of washing them and eating. And she shared these potatoes with their mom and her mom shared to their neighborhood and it went on. They find eating them by washing is more enjoyable and more tasty and they developed the idea of eating food after washing them.
