It is true that seeds have been excavated from the remains of the Jomon and Yayoi periods, but the amount seems to be increasing as the times change. After all, did continental culture come and spread as it spread? Also, it is thought that the large persimmons as they are now came from China during the Nara period. In Japan, there are persimmons that have been cultivated for more than a thousand years, and many are sung in Japanese poems and haiku poetry. Among them, Hitomaro's Mr Kakinomoto has a family relationship with Kasuga, Oyake, Awata, Ono, etc., with Ameoshitara Shihiko no Mikoto, the prince of the 5th Emperor Kosho（Empress Yosotarashi Hime）, as the ancestor, according to Kojiki. (Newly Compiled Record of Clan Names; 815 CE) states that the name of Kakimoto came from the fact that there was a persimmon tree in the family gate during the Emperor Bidatsu era. Cultivation was encouraged during the Nara period, and it seems that there were a large number of varieties that grew naturally in various parts of the Japanese archipelago except Hokkaido. Hitomaro's work may have only one tanka, but in many cases, long songs and tanka are combined, and several tanka songs are devised as a series, and the greatness of having a long composition can be felt. Also, regarding expression techniques, antithesis and makurakotoba are frequently used rhetorically, and it is impressive that the traces of elaboration and sculpture are kept in each phrase. Overseas people may also be interested in Manyoshu (8th century anthology of Japanese poetry) (689-700), which represents Japan.

“Hiratanenashi Kaki Persimmon” : In the Shonai region of Yamagata prefecture, a farmer in Tsuruoka Town（In 1885, now; when Mr. Shigemitsu Suzuki of Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture purchased several kinds of seedlings from a merchant in Niigata and planted them, it is said that only one seedless persimmon was produced. It is said that a kind of seedless persimmon made in Niigata was mixed. “Choryo SAKAI” old man, who sensed the future of a mysterious seedless persimmon tree, cultivated seedlings and worked hard to popularize them, which produced the fruit (Shonai persimmon) that represents autumn in Shonai today. “Shonai Kaki persimmon” is not a carbon dioxide gas deastringency, but an old-fashioned manufacturing method “shonai deastringency” that emphasizes sweetness, and each one is carefully deastringent. It features a smooth texture and a rich, natural sweetness.）, Yamagata Prefecture, cultivated a mixture of saplings that could not be seeded originally among the saplings purchased from a sapling dealer in Niigata Prefecture. It is said that it spread as. Now, the log of “Shonai persimmon” (Hiratanenashi Kaki persimmon) was found in the residence of Mr. Eisaburo Kawazu of Akiha Ward (former Niitsu city) in Niigata city, Niigata prefecture, and in 1962, “Hacchin persimmon” It is designated as a cultural property（In 1931, Koda's Kawasaki family's persimmon tree is recognized as a log because it is a seedling that does not depend on grafting. It is a large tree with a height of 16 meters, a trunk circumference of 2 m, and a branching area of 2 al. It is said that it bears many fruits every year even though it is an old tree estimated to be about 300 years old. As the name suggests, this persimmon is characterized by its seedlessness, and is said to be the sweetest of all the persimmons because it has a lot of juice and soft meat. Sado started producing this Hacchin; Eight delicacies persimmon as a product and shipped it to Hokkaido for the first time in 1936. Currently, it is cultivated mainly in Sado as the “Okesa Kaki persimmon” brand in the prefecture, and in Niigata city, Akiha Ward and Nishikan Ward are the production areas. It is said that Koyama, who was working for the Niigata Prefectural Office at that time, was named in 1909.）of Niigata Prefecture as a log of. “Hacchin Kaki persimmon” is called “Echigo seven wonders”, which is a collection of seven rare things that are handed down in Echigo (present-day Niigata prefecture), and means that the rare persimmon without seeds is the next eight rare. It is the name given by. It is called “Hacchin” in Niigata, “Shonai persimmon” in Yamagata, and “Okesa Kaki persimmon” in Sado. It is widely known as a seedless variety that is juicy, soft, and has a strong sweetness. Let's also introduce the persimmons that have been cultivated mainly around the Kofu basin in Yamanashi prefecture since ancient times. “Koshu Hyakume” was originally called “Koshu Monme”, and it is said that it got this name because it has a size of 100 monme (= about 375 grams). It is a bell-shaped, incomplete astringent persimmon that weighs more than 500 g when it is large. It is a variety that has been cultivated in Yamanashi prefecture for a long time. It is de-astringent and eaten raw, and it is also processed into dried persimmons. Also known as “hundred eyes,” “bee shop,” and “Japanese persimmon.” Carefully peel each “Koshu Hyakume” by hand, expose it to cold air on a drying shelf, and lay it flat to make a sweet dead dew persimmon. Peel the raw persimmon carefully and dry it in the sun, dry it for about 40 days and make it the highest peak that has been prized since ancient times. When dried, the astringency is gone, and when the astringency is gone, the sweetness is felt. The culmination of the predecessor's outstanding efforts. “Yamato Hyakume”, along with “Koshu Hyakume”, is popular as a raw material for large-sized dead dew persimmons that represent Yamanashi Prefecture to this day. It is also one of the many varieties produced in the southern Alps. The history of the “Yamato Hyakume” variety is said to have started with a persimmon tree in the bamboo forest of Mr. Tezuka of Kamiimasuwa, which is close to the Nishino area. Although it is said to be a substitute for branches, the size of the fruit is larger, the number of nuclei (seed) is small, and it ripens faster than “Koshu Hyakume”. When used as a “dried persimmon”, the flesh is very smooth and tasty, and the color tends to be vivid. Mr. Mitsuaki Tezuka of the Nishino area, who was fascinated by the persimmons of this tree, took the scion from the raw wood of Suwa and made it into a sapling. Around 1918, more than 100 years ago, 50 seedlings were planted near the current Momonooka housing complex, creating a rare persimmon garden. Returning to the story, the true identity of the astringent taste is Persimmon tannin. Among various plant-derived tannins, ”persimmon tannin” is a huge molecular structure in which four types of catechins (EC, EGC, ECg, EGCg) are bonded like a chain, and many “phenolic hydroxyl groups: (-OH) ”. Tannins are considered to have antioxidant and antibacterial effects, and are a member of the well-known “polyphenol” substances in recent years. It is recognized that it has a high deodorizing effect that eliminates the malodorous component from the original (root) by chemically binding to the malodorous component and changing to another component. Moreover, it has bactericidal and antibacterial effects that repel microorganisms and viruses, suppresses the decomposition and fermentation of sweat and old keratin, and can be expected to have the effect of suppressing the generation of foul odors. Among the six major carotenoids of “α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene”, only “β-cryptoxanthin” was found to have a significant lung cancer risk reduction effect. There are several reports of new bioregulatory functions that stand out from “β-cryptoxanthin”, such as a series of reports. “Zeaxanthin”, a type of carotenoid, has the function of maintaining the amount of macular pigment in the eye, and there are reports of improving the tone of the eye by improving contrast sensitivity and protecting it from light stimuli such as blue light. “Catalase” is a heme enzyme that is widely present in the body and decomposes hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The flesh is carefully squeezed and then dried, and the flesh has a deep yellow color that looks like golden and looks very elegant and beautiful. Partially-dried Japanese persimmon: Among the dried persimmons, the water content is relatively high, and the flesh is soft and sweet. As a guideline for drying in a well-ventilated place, dry the raw persimmons to 35% or less of 100 (depending on the size and condition of the persimmons) after peeling. However, no matter how good the conditions are at home, it will be difficult to improve the quality to this state. After all, it can be done by reading the weather and using skillful techniques. The Isazawa district of Yanagawamachi, Date City, Fukushima Prefecture is a famous place in Japan as the birthplace of partially dried Japanese persimmon. The Abukuma River, which went north in the central part of the prefecture, gently flows down the Fukushima Basin (Shindatsu Basin) in the northeast direction, and before reaching the gorge at the border of Miyagi Prefecture, when the northern coast of the river opens, it carries a mountain to the north. , It is a place between the river and the mountains. Persimmons have been cultivated in this area since the Edo period, and it seems that dried persimmons have been produced since that time. It seems that the persimmon tree was planted in Isazawa from 1751 to 1763. In the Edo period, Isazawa was called Kamiisazawa in the western half and Shimoisazawa in the eastern half. There is a person named Shichiemon in a cluster called Mine in Kamiisazawa, and it is said that this person brought a persimmon tree from somewhere and planted it, which was named Shichiemon persimmon here. Agriculture is the main industry in the region, and rice and sericulture are the main industries. Sericulture has been practiced for a long time, but I heard that there was a village headman and a village head who made a fortune, especially in the Edo period. It seems that it was shipped to Kyoto, Osaka and Edo under the brand Nobose thread. In the late Edo period, a breakthrough technological innovation in Yanagawa, Date District, led to the completion of warm-up education, and it seems that mass production of high-quality raw silk became possible. Of the 250,000 silk moth seed papers produced nationwide in the latter half of the Edo period, 180,000 are from the Shindatsu region (currently Date City, Date District, Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture). Isazawa, which was a village next to Yanagawa, was also very active in sericulture, and it seems that the economy was booming from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era. Even if it snowed, the peak period of shipment was not the off-season, and it seems that Date City tended to have few migrant workers thanks to the partially dried Japanese persimmon. Since it is a special product, it is less likely to lose its price than ordinary agricultural products such as vegetables and fruit trees, and I hear that it is a valuable stable income for producers. In the area, the climate with moderate amount of sunshine and large temperature difference may be suitable for persimmon cultivation. Although it could not be made during the Pacific War, it grew to represent the dried persimmon producing areas nationwide during the period of high economic growth, and played an important role in the former Isazawa village, then in Yanagawa town, and in Date city. I've done it. Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture merged with Enzan City, Katsunuma Town, Higashiyamanashi County, and Yamato Village on November 1, 2005. Also known as “Kai no Kuni”, “Concerning municipalities which changed characters for names and adopted old provincial names virtually, there are Mutsu City (Aomori Prefecture), Iwaki City (Fukushima Prefecture), Sanuki City (Kagawa Prefecture), Oushu City ( Iwate Prefecture), and Koshu City.” Located on the east side of the Kofu basin, The South Alps cover an area of over 300,000 hectares across Yamanashi, Nagano and Shizuoka Prefectures.

It is not a perfect plan to force tired soldiers to fight against the enemy that is increasing in number. We should withdraw. “The art of warfare of Sonshi (Chinese books about tactics) in the ancient China is famous in Japan, too. Hatajirushi: A flag of Sonshi (also known as a flag of Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan which literally means “Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain,” which was the motto of the feudal lord Shingen TAKEDA, quoted from Sonshi (Chinese books about tactics), meaning “swift as the wind, quiet as a wood, fierce as fire, and immovable as a mountain.”), a flag of Suwa Myojin (The Suwa Deity) ）」や, 日本最古の「日の丸御旗（flag with a red circle on a white background）」を所蔵する「雲峰寺（臨済宗妙心寺派-裂石山,（関連; 影武者: 黒澤明 監督, 大菩薩峠: 中里介山（弥之助）氏）」, 武田家代々の家督の印とされる国宝「楯無鎧」を預かる「菅田天神社」（Tatenashi (no shield) (Kanda-tenjinja Shrine) – handed down from the Takeda clan.）There are many shrines and temples closely related to the Takeda family. The major cultivars of astringent persimmons used for Hoshigaki include Ichidagaki persimmon (from Inadani（Ina Basin）, Nagano Prefecture), Beni Kaki persimmon (originally from Kaminoyama City, Yamagata Prefecture), Dojo-Hachiya Kaki persimmon
(originally from Mino area, Gifu Prefecture), Sanja Kaki persimmon (Fukumitsu Town, Toyama Prefecture) and “Koshu-Hyakume（甲州百目（匁））”. The results of research show that people have lived in the land of Yamanashi prefecture for about 30,000 years. In the 12th century, Kai Genji emerged, and in the Warring States period of the 16th century, “Shingen TAKADA” dominated the unification of the world. When the seclusion was lifted in the 19th century, it changed from Kofu to “Yamanashi” in the first year of the Meiji era, and continues to the present day with rapid modernization.
