The area around Keisei Nishi-Funabashi Station (western part of Funabashi) was once called Kurihara Township, Katsushika District, Shimousa. Masanari Naruse, an old vassal who served Ieyasu from a small surname, entered the Kurihara Township at “4000 Koku, Katsushika District, Shimousa” after the Odawara battle, and the Kurihara domain was established. The location of the camp is unknown, but it is estimated to be around Ogurihara Castle and Naruse's Bodaiji Temple, Hojoji. After that, Masanari, who became a guardian of Yoshinao Tokugawa (9th son of Ieyasu) of the Owari clan, became the lord of Inuyama Castle in 1617 with 30,000 Koku. However, since the abolition of the han system was announced in 1871, Inuyama Naruse was a daimyo for only four years.

The Funabashi City Literary Award is highly trusted by fans as it recommends particularly excellent works by soliciting works in five categories: novels, children's literature, poetry, tanka, and haiku in order to promote literary activities in the city. After selection by the winners requested by the City Board of Education, the submitted works are awarded the “Literary Award” for the most excellent works and the “Honorable Mention” for the excellent works. The “Funabashi City Literary Award Works”, which contains literary awards and honorable mention works, is published every year. The 33rd (2nd year of Reiwa) works have been distributed and rented since April 1, 3rd year of Reiwa. The collection of works is distributed at the Culture Division on the 7th floor of the city hall, “Funabashi City Literary Award Works”. In principle, the copyright belongs to the person. However, if the award-winning work is used or posted in publications, printed matter, etc. edited and published by public institutions such as the City Board of Education, the award winner shall consent to the use. The 34th Funabashi City Literary Award was held. The deadline for applications for works in the five categories of novels, children's literature, poetry, tanka, and haiku is from June 15, 3rd year of Reiwa (Tuesday) to 30th September, 3rd year of Reiwa (Thursday). The Funabashi City Literary Award, which began 50 years after the city system came into effect, is characterized by having a children's literature category. Construction of a “mutual assistance society” recommended by the Funabashi City Community Welfare Plan that came into effect in 2005. My interpretation is to revitalize the region and support all people to demonstrate their abilities in society. However, the key is how to overturn meritocracy values ​​in Japan, where the theory of self-responsibility is widespread.

Funabashi immediately after the end of the war: Soon, the development of the Narashino field, which was a military reservation, began. However, in April 1946, a part of the settlement was requisitioned by the expeditionary forces, which seems to have been a difficult step. On the other hand, the city survived the war damage and became a mecca for shopping as an accumulation area of ​​agricultural and marine products, and was also called “Shanghai, China in Japan”. As for the progress of democratic politics, the Constitution of Japan, promulgated on November 3, 1946, guaranteed local autonomy for the first time, assuming that the heads and members of local public bodies would directly elect the residents. Based on this, the first mayoral election was held in April 1947, and the Local Autonomy Law was promulgated in the same month. The School Education Law was promulgated, compulsory education was extended from 6 years to 9 years, and a new junior high school was established. In addition, land reform has begun and the movement for rural democratization has spread. I received compulsory education in Chiba prefecture until the third grade of elementary school, but I still vividly remember hearing from relatives who were standing on the podium even when I came to Tokyo. The only war damage in the Funabashi city area was sporadic air raids, and there were no large-scale air raids.  However, because it is close to Tokyo, bombs and incendiary bombs, which are thought to accompany the Tokyo air raid, have been dropped to unspecified locations more than 10 times in total. Most of them fell on the sea, in fields and forests, but some of them had bombs and incendiary bombs near factories and in urban areas, causing damage such as collapse and burning of buildings, resulting in deaths. Don't forget that. Thanks to our ancestors, we hope that Japan is now a modern nation. Mount Niitaka; Yü Shan; Mt Morrison Climb! The birthplace of the Funabashi place name.  “Ebigawa Bridge” over the Ebi River between 1-chome, Honcho and 4-chome, Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture. “Funabashi Daijingu” (Shikinaisha “Ohi Shrine”) About 200 m west of the "Daijingushita" intersection at the entrance of the west approach. It seems that there used to be an inlet called “Natsumi Irie” or “Natsumi Lagoon” that swelled in the back with this area as the entrance. In ancient times, it was quite vast, and generally extended from the north side of the current JR Sobu Main Line to the Natsumi Plateau, and now it is a park, “Amanuma Benten pond Park”, as the name suggests, it was originally a pond. It seems that it was the last remnant of Natsumi Irie. “Daijingushita” is also said that the road extending north from the intersection is the trace of an old road that passes through the eastern shore of the cove. The area around the current Honmachi is on a sandbar extending from east to west, and in ancient times it seems that the government road (branch of the ancient Tokaido) connecting Shimousa Kokufu (currently Ichikawa City) and Kazusa Kokufu (currently Ichihara City) passed through. It is said that the place name “Funabashi” came from the fact that Funabashi was built at the entrance and exit of the cove between the current Honcho side and the current Miyamoto side of the government road. A “pontoon bridge” is a bridge that allows you to cross rivers by building a board over the boats lined up. Of course, the origin of this place name belongs to the legend, but it seems certain that the government road passed here, and it cannot be said that the Funabashi was not built. It seems that Ieyasu Tokugawa's “Funabashi palace” was on the west bank of the inlet on the Honcho side. Ieyasu-Ko liked falconry and built rest areas and lodgings for that purpose, one of which was “Funabashi Goten”. It is said that the site was 10,000 unit of land measurement, but "Toshogu", which is said to be the smallest in Japan, is enshrined in the place that is said to have been the center of the site. Ieyasu-Ko stayed at “Funabashi palace” in 1614 or 1615 on the way to falconry in Togane City, Chiba Prefecture, but it seems that it was the first and last. After that, it was used several times by the second shogun Hidetada-Ko, but it was abolished in 1671, and was given to Mr. Tomi, the owner of the Shikinai shrine “Ohi Shrine” (Funabashi Ohi Shrine) from 1684 to 1688. However, it is said that there was originally a mansion of Mr. Tomi in the land of “Funabashi Goten”, and he crossed the Ebi River every day to go to “Funabashi Ohi Shrine”. However, it is said that there was originally a mansion of Mr. Tomi in the land of “Funabashi Palace”, and he crossed the Ebi River every day to go to “Funabashi Ohi Shrine”. At first, Mr. Tomi's mansion became the accommodation for Ieyasu, and Mr. Tomi bought an entertainment role. Therefore, it is unclear what kind of exchange was made between Mr. Tomi and Ieyasu, but it means that Mr. Tomi presented “Funabashi Palace” and returned it after its abolition. “Funabashi Toshogu” is said to have been built by Mr. Tomi after the return of “Funabashi Palace”. In the Middle Ages, there was a temple of the Tendai sect called “Anyoji Temple” on the north side of “Funabashi Palace”, but one theory is that it was originally a Risshu sect, or it is possible that it was an old temple that existed before the Middle Ages. By the way, there is the Shingon sect Buzan school “Funabashiyama Shojoshinin Saifukuji Temple” on the north side of the current “Funabashi Daijingu”, but this temple is said to have been built in the Kamakura period, and the large stone five-wheeled tower and Hokyointo in the precincts are It is said to be from the late Kamakura period. Historians and researchers say that the sect of the Gorinto is different because it was originally on the north side of “Funabashi Palace”, but Saifukuji Temple may be the successor to Anyoji Temple. A monument of "Masakado pine" in the central wholesale market of Funabashi City (Location: 1-8-1, Ichiba, Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture. Immediately after entering the main gate (east side)). There is a legend that there used to be a big pine tree here, and Taira no Masakado rested at the base of it. This place is called "Castle Waist", which is a general noun for branch castle or fortress, but it is presumed that it was a place like a cape overhanging from the eastern bank of Natsumi Inlet. Eventually, the “castle” became “Sho”, and the legend of “Pine of Masakado” was created by associating with the place where Masakado sat. I mentioned it on my other site three to four weeks ago, but it was well received, so I uploaded it again. I introduced Funabashi Oana's pear, but it was well received, so I'll write it again. Oana District: There are various theories about the origin of the place name, such as a large hole dug in gold, a large hole dug in search of iron sand, a large hole where water springs, and a large horizontal hole in a cliff. It is said that the pioneer was a certain Saito family, and the place where Oana Junior High School is located has been said for a long time. In the current Oana area, there is a Jomon period ruin called Ebigasaku Shell Mound. The shrimp midden seems to be from the middle of the Jomon period. A dog's burial bone was found here, and it seems that it was bred in the village at that time. Although the shellfish is mainly clams, oysters and clams have been confirmed. As for the side dishes, black sea bream is the most common, and sardines and sea bass have been detected, and wild boars, deer, and hares have been found. In addition, shellfish and gobies that live in freshwater have also been found. In addition, the largest pottery in the city was discovered, with a height of 70 cm or more and a caliber of 48 cm on the inside. Other stone axes were also found, and there are two types: hammered and ground stone axes. There are three forms: an elongated strip shape, a weight shape with a constriction, and a repellent shape with a wide blade. In the area called Koaza Matsuyama in Oana, what seems to be an old burial mound has been found. In addition, it is said that haniwa or Haji pottery fragments appear from the nearby fields. However, it has not yet been confirmed. There is also a story that fragments of Haji pottery were found in an area called Koaza Kamada. It is probable that Oana, Kusugayama, Kanehori, Kowagama, Tsuboi, etc. in Chiba District, Shimousa were in the same township as Yoshihashi in Yachiyo City, downstream of the Kido River and Kuwana River. From the end of the Heian period to the Kamakura period, these areas were called Jinbo Township. In addition, from these villages to the present Kayada, Yachiyo City, it is called Kayada Jinbo's Mikuriya, and it is said that it was donated to Ise Jingu. There are many old houses in Matsuyama, which looks south from the Misaki River, a tributary of the Kuwana River. There are many houses with the surname Mr. Saito here, and most of them are said to be connected to a certain pioneer Saito family in this area. It is said that the Saito clan used ginkgo biloba and taro instead of vegetables for the New Year's dish. The Shimousa Miyama Seven-Year Festival is a festival designated as an intangible folk cultural property designated by Chiba Prefecture, where nine shrines centered around Ninomiya Shrine in Miyama gather. It is said that it is called the Seven Years Festival because it is held in the year of the ox and the year before the year. There are many unclear points about how the festival has become what it is today, but it is said that it was held once every seven years in 1727. It has been shaped throughout the late Edo period. The Oana district participates in this festival as a shrine parishioner at Hachioji Shrine. After the festival, a shrine parishioner tour called Hanagashi will be held for two days. It was also held in 2015, and in the Oana district, flower flow was carried out mainly in the north of Oana. It is believed that the land of shrimp was reclaimed around the time of Kanbun and Enpo (the latter half of the 17th century). At first, a few houses are thought to have lived in this area, all of which are said to have come from Oana Village. The house is said to have been built near the current Oana Elementary School. It is believed that there were many wolves and wolves in the forest wilderness of this area, and peasants are said to have built banks around their homes to prevent them. There are many stone monuments engraved with Koshinto from ancient times. Koshinto refers to a stone pagoda built in commemoration of Koshinto(A stone pagoda built on the basis of the Koshin faith derived from Taoism introduced from China. Based on the “Three Corpses Theory” that Chinese Taoism preaches, Buddhism, especially esoteric Buddhism, Shintoism, Shugendo, magical medicine, and various Japanese folk beliefs and customs are intricately intertwined. 三尸 : Insects thought to be in the human body, believed to be derived from Taoism.). In order to prevent the insect called Sanshi, who is inside the human body, from going to report the evil of the human to the Emperor while sleeping, he did not sleep all night on the day of the Yang Metal Monkey and worked. It is a custom to have a banquet. This stone monument was built mainly after the Edo period. Some of the stone monuments are engraved with “Oana 村” and “Oana 邑”, and it can be seen that the name Oana was used at that time. The poet, Mrs. Sonome Saito, was born around 1781 to the Mr. Yasubei Saito family in Oana Village, and since he was a teenager, he has aspired to become a haiku and has been associated with many haiku poets. She built her memorial tower at Kannonzan Saikouin to coincide with her late husband's 7th anniversary on the 1836 pension. It is engraved with the phrase “Going through the bell of paradise.” In her haiku collection called “Tanomu Kageshu”, which was created to commemorate the woman's 80 years old, a picture of the woman drawn by the Edo lacquer artist Shibata Zeshin, who had a close relationship with her, was drawn. There are many phrases of the poets who had friends with her. She died on January 28, 1868, at the age of 87. Her grave marker is located at Seikoin (Shingon sect Buzan school) in the north of Oanakita, and is a historic site designated by Funabashi City. Prince Shotoku Children's Tower was built in 1932. The founder, Motoyama-Ko, means a companion who works in the mountains. Prince Shotoku is a historical figure famous as the regent of Empress Suiko, but he was believed to be the ancestor of the temple and was worshiped as the guardian deity of the people involved in the construction. The Taishi-Ko is organized by carpenters, plasterers, tatami mats, blacksmiths, and other mountain workers, and at gatherings, after worshiping Prince Shotoku's hanging shaft, he makes wage agreements and professional agreements. “Environmentally friendly farmer (as recognized by law)” is “Act on Promotion of Introduction of Highly Sustainable Agricultural Production Method”, enacted in “Law No. 110” on July 28, 1999). It came into effect on October 25, the same year. He is a farmer certified by the Governor of Chiba Prefecture for the introduction plan of an agricultural production method that integrates soil preparation with compost and reduction of chemical fertilizers and synthetic pesticides. “Technology certification required to become an eco-farmer” “Technology related to soil preparation” (application of compost, cultivation of green manure crops, etc.) “Chemical fertilizer reduction technology” (use of organic fertilizer, local fertilizer application, etc.) “Chemical pesticide reduction technology” (Use of biological pesticides, mechanical weeding, etc.) It is necessary to introduce (or more) technologies that fall under the following three categories one by one. In 2019 (as of the end of March 2019), 1,235 farmers have been certified as eco-farmers in the prefecture. “Environmentally friendly agriculture” promoted by Chiba Prefecture: Two logo marks have been established to further expand efforts and raise awareness. “Funabashi no Nashi Pear” was registered as a “Regional Collective Trademark” by the Japan Patent Office of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in 2014 (November 2014).  5717347 (Business application 2013-098645), Ichikawa City Agricultural Cooperative, Filing date / International registration date (post-designated date), 2013/12/04, Registration date, 2014/11/14. Most of the soil in Funabashi City's the Kanto loam layer (It is thought to be dust that is rolled up by strong winds from dry ground. Some speculate that volcanic ash from Mt. Fuji (Altitude 3767.12 m), Mt. Hakone (Altitude 1.438 m), and Mt. Asama (Altitude 2,568 m) has accumulated. The loam layer is cohesive soil with fine soil particles and a large amount of minerals.), Which is volcanic ash soil.Moreover, the well-drained soil is well suited for pear cultivation.

Atago (In the 20th century (1888, in Ohashi village (currently Matsudo city, Chiba prefecture, Nijusseikigaoka Nashimoto town)), a 13-year-old “Mr. Kakunosuke Matsudo” boy became a relative. It was discovered at Mr. Sahei Ishii's house. With the wish and expectation that this “Harbin pear (Pyrus ussuriensis var. hondoensis)” would become a representative variety of the 20th century, “Nijisseiki Pear” was made in 1904. The birthplace of Nijisseiki Pear was the Nijisseiki Park, and a monument was built in the park. The original tree of “Nijisseiki Pear” was in 1935. In December, it was designated as a national natural memorial. Unfortunately, it died in 1957, and the original tree is preserved in the reference room of the Matsudo City Museum. It was created by Mr. Kakunosuke Matsudo of Yahashira Village Ohashi from 1888 to 1898 after painstaking efforts. Today, Tottori Prefecture boasts the highest production in Japan, and at Nijusseiki Park (24, Nijusseikigaoka Nashimotocho), the birthplace of 20th century pears, there is a monument of gratitude given by Tottori Prefecture. Are standing.  ) ”× It is said to be a mating seedling with “Chojuro Pear” in Kanagawa Prefecture, and I heard that it was announced later by Mr. Akio Kikuchi in 1915. At that time, it was considered to be a cross with “20th century (self-breeding)” or “Imamuraaki”. Confirmation of the history of 55 Japanese pear varieties by S gene and SSR marker analysis: Agricultural Research Organization) One thing, because the shape of the fruit is a circle, etc., “Shinsetsu (announced in 1949 as a mating seedling of “Okusankichi” × “Imamuraaki”)” Compared to, the color of the shoots is dark green-brown, the number of short fruit branches is small, the shape of the mature leaves is circular, the shape of the fruits is circular, and the color of the peel is red. Being brown, etc., “Niitaka (known as a mating seedling with “Amanokawa” in Niigata Prefecture × “Chojuro” in Kanagawa Prefecture. At the former Tokyo Prefectural Gardening School (Tamakawa Orchard), Mr. Akio Kikuchi was in 1927. At that time, it was considered to be a hybrid of “Imamuraaki” in Kochi Prefecture. However, Agricultural Research Organization: The hybrid parents of 55 Japanese pear varieties are revealed by analysis of self-incompatibility (S) genotype and 18 SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) markers (Research period: 2000). -2008). Alternatively, DNA fingerprint method: DNA fragments and variations in their lengths are used as a differential marker “Finger print”, and there is less short fruit branch settling compared to “Identification by Allele gene (Genetic analysis)”. It is said that the distinction is recognized by the fact that the shape of the adult leaves is circular, the size of the depressions of the fruits is narrow, and the pericarp is reddish brown. The registration date is 1996/08/22. The date of extinction of breeders' rights was 2014/08/23.

It is always popular because it is large and has a refreshing sweetness and good taste. “Miyary” Born in commemoration of the 110th anniversary of the municipal organization on April 1, 2006.By open recruitment and public voting from all over the country. Utsunomiya “Miya”, The motif is a fairy wearing the crown of Satsuki (Rhododendron indicum) ), The flower of the city. Last but not least. The roots of pears in Chiba Prefecture date back to the Edo period. It is said that “Nashi pear” cultivation began in the prefecture in 1769 during the Edo period, when Mr. Zenroku KAWAKAMI worked on it in the Yawata region (currently the Yawata district of Ichikawa city). Born in the Yawata region in 1742, Mr. Zenroku preferred books to children and was scholarly. I was enthusiastic about the breeding industry and was looking for what kind of crops would be suitable for the Yawata region: After seeing high-quality Nashi pear cultivation around Ogaki in Mino Province, he learned the technique and brought back the branches and spread them to the Yawata region; Born in Yawata in 1742, Mr. Zenroku came up with the idea of ​​pear cultivation for Edo citizens, visited the region of Owari Mino where pear cultivation is popular, investigated, spread pear cultivation in Yawata, and made the market crowded as “Yawata Pear”. The pears harvested in the Yawata region were transported to Edo and were touted as luxury goods. For this reason, the production area expanded rapidly, and it is estimated that it became the largest pear production area in the Kanto region at the end of Tokugawa. In the era of the 10th Tokugawa Shogun Ieji, when Okitsugu TANUMA-Ko became an old man through a side servant and wielded power. Tanuma used the financial resources of the merchants to reclaim Inba swamp and Tega swamp (both in the lower reaches of the Tone River). Exhibitor: Ayumi of Fruit Trees in Chiba Prefecture (published by the Federation of Fruit Tree Associations in Chiba Prefecture) “Edo Famous Places” (Tenpo 5th year, 1834). The prefecture is a suitable land for pear cultivation, which is blessed with soil and weather conditions, and boasts the largest cultivation area, yield, and output in Japan(2018). The prefecture is a suitable place for pear cultivation, which is blessed with soil and weather conditions. Due to the warm climate surrounded by the sea on three sides, the flowers bloom at the earliest time in the Kanto region, and the harvest time is also early. The main variety, Kosui, has been produced in various regions in the prefecture in early August, which is the middle of summer, and the time when it is hot and you want to eat pears overlaps with the peak harvest period, which is the most delicious. Pears have been said to be delicious. In addition, the volcanic ash soil, which is abundant in the prefecture, is suitable for pear cultivation because it has a strong ability to hold fertilizer and has good drainage, and the tree grows healthy and healthy. It is said that such trees will produce delicious fruits. The fruits also grow in plenty of sunlight. Since it belongs to the Kanto production area and is close to the consumption area, customer feedback can be heard immediately. Producers in Chiba prefecture understand well that consumers want delicious pears. In addition, it is possible to deliver freshly harvested pears. Furthermore, compared to remote production areas, it is possible to keep the trees in a state close to ripe, so it seems that pears with good taste can be harvested. In the traditional production area of ​​Chiba prefecture, which has continued since the Edo period, there are many years of accumulated technology for making delicious pears. And even now, producers are working hard to improve their skills in order to make more delicious pears.
