==Geography== Taijima is a set of two islands located about off the coast of the Shimokita Peninsula in Mutsu Bay. Administratively, the islands are part of the former village of Wakinosawa that is now part of the city of Mutsu. During the village's existence, the island was often used a symbol of the municipality. The name Taijima is derived from the islands' appearance of a Red seabream swimming along the surface of the water. The islands are referred to as the body and tail of the fish. The body island is covered with green, but the tail is stained white from the droppings of seabirds on its steep rocky surface. The waters surrounding Taijima are designated as a protected marine park. In addition to this marine park, the islands are included in the larger prefecture-managed, Shimokita Hantō Quasi-National Park.
