Comic tanka is a literary art that was born in Kyoto and vicinity in the Edo period. It is a kind of tanka poetry that incorporates satirize society, irony, and comical, and is composed of “5,7,5,7,7” like tanka. In the middle of the Edo period, the epidemic moved from the upper region to Edo, and it seems that it became a social phenomenon in the Tenmei period. Comic tanka meetings were held in various places, and it seems that enthusiasts made comic tanka reams and worked hard to create them, but it seems that the center of the Hitachi region was two towns, Aso and Edosaki. In the Aso domain, there was a tendency among the feudal lords to prefer Japanese poetry, but among the feudal lords, the 12th feudal lord “Naokazu SHINJO-Ko” liked haiku and left a song called “Renka-号”. Following the continuous flow of haiku from the Naokazu-Ko era, it rapidly penetrated into the Aso domain. At the center of this was the Aso feudal retainer or warrior “Mr. Yataro TEGA”, who also played an important role as “Kashiku KANAGAKI” of the Kyokado Shingan school. Comic tanka is a literature that sings while feeling the feelings, impressions and doubts, and familiar events at that time. Of course, it seems that tanka poetry education is also necessary for the undercurrent, but for the common people, comic tanka is a casual literary art that is more difficult than literature, and even in modern times, it is possible to freely make it with the words that are usually used. It seems to be attractive.

Namegata City is a Japanese parsley producing area that boasts one of the largest production volumes in Japan. Designated as “Ibaraki Prefecture Brand Production Area（A system in which the prefecture designates production areas that are highly evaluated for quality, etc., by working on production and shipping that meet consumer needs based on food safety and security.）” in 1993. In Namegata City, it seems that double-cropping cultivation of paddy fields, which are cultivated after paddy rice and lotus root, is the main method. The delicious season is March, but thanks to the abundant groundwater, it is expected to ship from mid-October to late April. For example, it seems that the temperature in Tamatsukuri is 2-3 degrees lower than that in Kitaura. Even if it is snowing in Tamatsukuri, it seems that there are many times when it is raining in Kitaura. It seems that they are growing varieties suitable for each land through repeated research. In the cultivation process, it will not fit in the box, so it should not grow too much. I heard that when the south wind blows, it can grow up to 5 cm overnight. Every year from December to February, the scent is refreshing because it grows from the tip of the leaves. After that, the stem grows, the texture and aroma are strong, and it seems to be smooth.

【Major features】

Ibaraki Prefecture is located in the northeastern part of the Kanto region, which occupies almost the center of the Japanese archipelago. Toride City in the south of the prefecture is within 40 km from the center of the capital Tokyo, and Mito City, the capital of the prefecture, is within 100 km. East end: Kansu city east longitude 140 degrees 51 minutes 06 seconds north latitude 35 degrees 44 minutes 38 seconds West end: Koga city east longitude 139 degrees 41 minutes 15 seconds north latitude 36 degrees 11 minutes 52 seconds south end: Kamisu city east longitude 140 degrees 50 minutes 15 seconds north latitude 35 degrees 44 minutes 21 seconds North end: 140 degrees 35 minutes 10 seconds east longitude of Kita Ibaraki city 36 degrees 56 minutes 43 seconds north latitude (from National Land Research Institute). The area of ​​the prefecture is 6,097.06 km2 (as of 2015), which is the 24th largest in the country, but because it is flat, the habitable area is 3,982.47 km2, which is the 4th largest in the country. From the central part to the southwestern part, the Joso Plain, which is a part of the Kanto Plain, spreads, and the Kokai River and the Kinugawa River flow through it. It flows eastward and is poured into the Pacific Ocean. From the north to the northwest, the mountains of the Kuji Mountains and Taga Mountains, which are the southernmost parts of the Abukuma Mountains, and the mountains of the Yamizo Mountains are connected from north to south. In the meantime, there are the Yamada River, Sato River, Kuji River, Naka River and the flat land in the basin. The Yamizo Mountains begin with Mt. Yamizo (1,022 m), the highest peak in the prefecture that rises on the northwestern border, and runs south to reach Mt. Kaba and Mt. Tsukuba on the border with Tochigi Prefecture. There are Mt. Hanazono, Mt. Kamine, and Mt. Takasuzu. The southeastern part is a water town centered on Kasumigaura, the second largest lake in Japan, and “Kitaura”, which are filled with abundant water. In the eastern part, the coastline extends for 190 km, and in the meantime, there are fishing ports such as Hitachi, Hitachinaka, Oarai, Kashima Port and Hiraiso, Otsu, Kuji, Isozaki, Hiraiso, Nakaminato, Hasaki as bases for coastal fishing. As stated in the Fudoki of Hitachi, which was compiled in the Nara period in the first half of the century, “The land is large, the soil is fertile, the products of the seamounts are well harvested, people live abundantly, and it seems to be a country of the eternal world.” It seems that people have lived affluently. Even in the Middle Ages and modern times, influential warlords settled in this area, and especially in the Edo period, the Tokugawa clan was placed in Mito, and it developed as a key point of land and water transportation near Edo. It prospered as the center of economy and culture. After the collapse of the Edo Shogunate, Ibaraki Prefecture was established in 1871 due to the consolidation and abolition of the abolished feudal clan and prefectures, and in 1875 it became the current scale. Since then, the prefecture seems to have continued to develop greatly in all aspects such as agriculture, industry, science and technology, culture, and welfare, based on the industry and culture that have been cultivated in this area. The Dainihonshi (History of Greater Japan): During the Edo period, not only the shogunate but also various feudal lords carried out rehabilitation projects. A typical example is the compilation by the Mito Domain. Mitsukuni TOKUGAWA-Ko, the second feudal lord of the Mito Domain, opened the History Bureau (later the Honoring Hall) in 1657 during the Seiko era and started the compilation of national history. After many controversies over the content of the description and the editorial policy, in 1906, the 402nd volume was completed, which describes the history from Emperor Jimmu to Emperor Go-Komatsu (the emperor when the North-South Asahi was established) in Chinese. Whereas Rikkokushi and “Honcho Tsugan（The Edo Shogunate has been active in compiling history since the early days. In 1644, the third shogun, Iemitsu-Ko, ordered Razan HAYASHI-Ko, a Confucian scholar, to compile national history. It was presented under the title of Record. However, the “Honcho Chronology” was destroyed by a large fire in 1657. In 1662, the 4th Shogun Ietsuna-Ko ordered Gahō-Ko, the son of Razan-Ko, to resume the compilation of national history, and a new compilation project was started with Naotsune NAGAI-Ko as the president. Collection, research, writing, etc. of historical materials are carried out centering on Gahō-Ko at the Kokushikan in Ueno Shinobugaoka, and in 1670, a total of 310 volumes of annal history from Jindai to Emperor Go-yosei's 1611 are written in Chinese style. Was completed (3 volumes of the first part, 40 volumes of the Honcho Tsugan, 230 volumes of the Honcho Tsugan, 30 volumes of the Honcho Tsugan shooting, 5 volumes of the appendix, and 2 volumes of the neck), and was collectively called “Honcho Tsugan”. 310 books each of the clear book and the middle book (intermediate clear book before the final clear book was created) were presented to the Shogunate, the clear book was stored in Momijiyama Bunko, and the middle book was on the right side of the Shogun family. Was placed. The title and format of “Honcho Tsugan” are said to be similar to those of Sima Guang's “Zizhi Tongjian” and Zhu Xi's “Zizhi Tongjian”.）” were chronological, “Dai Nihonshi” is a jizhuanti (Honki, which is the chronological record of successive emperors, and “Retsuden”, which is the main character's biography. The format of the historical description) is adopted. Reflecting the historical view of MITSUKUNI-Ko, Empress Jingu was included in the Empress Retsuden instead of the main era, the coronation of Prince OTOMO was recognized, and the Southern Court was orthodox. It seems that it also influenced. Cultural heritage such as Kairakuen and Kashima Jingu are preserved in various places in the prefecture, and many great ancestors such as Japanese painting Mr. Taikan YOKOYAMA（Establishment of obscurity）, modern ceramic art Mr. Hazan ITAYA（Received the Order of Culture for the first time in the ceramic art world, and is also famous in the couple kiln）, and nursery rhyme poetry Mr. Ujo NOGUCHI（A famous family that was once called “Kankai-tei” and “Isohara Goten” at the resting place of the Mito Tokugawa feudal lord. As of September 2002, only 31 school songs have been created. He wrote the lyrics not only in Japan but also in schools in China, South Korea and Taiwan）are produced. Based on the traditions nurtured by these cultural climates, this prefecture is actively engaged in cultural activities such as famous art exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and prefectural art festivals. In recent years, the importance of the role played by culture has been recognized again, and in order to enjoy the richness of the mind in addition to the richness of things and to realize a life full of moisture, it is essential to utilize the power of culture. It has become. Under these circumstances, the Ibaraki Prefecture Cultural Promotion Ordinance was enacted in 2015 with the aim of contributing to the realization of a rich prefectural life and a vibrant local community. It seems that they are planning to promote it systematically. Care should be taken to water the soil so that it does not dry out until germination. Leave one or two strong seedlings and thin out the others. Also, I heard that it would be good to attract the vines to stand up as they grow. Established in September 2005 by the merger of Aso Town, Tamatsukuri Town, and Kitaura Town. The city of whereabouts is located in the southeastern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, surrounded by Nishiura and Kitaura in Kasumigaura. It is an area with soil. Hitachi Province (Ibaraki Prefecture) was established by the Taika Reform of 645CE, and there are only five Fudoki in Japan that describe the situation at that time: Hitachi Province, Harima Province, Bizen Province, Bungo Province, and Izumo Province. There is already a description of the whereabouts area in. The city is a region with a warm and mild climate due to the blessings of Kasumigaura and Mt. Tsukuba. In addition, mellow land was formed from many rivers flowing into Kasumigaura. The whereabouts area is a famous place where various agricultural products can be produced regardless of the crop. The sun, water, abundant soil, and areas that have benefited a lot from nature form an industrial system centered on the agriculture, livestock and fisheries industry. As a result, many agricultural, livestock and fishery products can be shipped throughout the year, and it is possible to stably supply foodstuffs to the metropolitan area (consumption area). More than 60 kinds of various products (rice, vegetables, meat (pork, beef, chicken), chicken eggs, river fish) are stably shipped to the Tokyo area throughout the year. In particular, the items with the highest yields are sweet potatoes, potatoes, mizuna, and auction, which maintain the highest yields in Japan. “Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki (description of the culture, climate, etc. of Hitachi province; approx. 720 CE)” : Hitachi is a good country with a large country, far mountains, fertile fields, and cultivated Rangeland. Blessed with the blessings of the sea and mountains, the people are at ease and the houses are full. There is no poor man who cultivates rice fields and spins threads. You can get salt in the mountains on the left and fish in the sea on the right. In addition, Kuwahara（Mulberry field）spreads in the rear field, and hemp is cultivated in the front field. It is a place rich in the fruits of Umikawa Yamano no（海川山野之）. However, since there are few high-quality paddy fields (many wetlands), seedlings may not grow if long rains continue. With just the right amount of sunshine, the grain is rich enough. On May 2; 甲子, 713; 和銅6年, Empress Genmei issued an official order to promote Fudoki to the whole country. At this time, the title “Fudoki” was not official, and it was only an order to submit the customs geography of each country together. After that, in the Heian period, Kiyotsura Miyoshi-Ko's “Twelve Articles of Opinion Sealing”, 公望 Yatabe-Ko's “Nihon Shoki Shiki”, and “Fudoki” in 925, etc. It is believed that in the Heian period, it came to be called by the generic name “Fudoki”. The official order of Fudoki is, “Write your favorite characters for the names of the counties of the seven provinces of KINAI. And record the story of the land, the reason for the name of Yamakawa Wilderness, and the old story of the old man's biography.” To make this official order easier to understand, the name of the county town is written in a favorable character (two kanji characters), a list of minerals such as silver and copper, plants, animals, fish, and insects in the county, the fertile state of the land, the place name of the mountain river wilderness. It describes the origin and the old story that the old man tells. In each country, it is probable that the survey was conducted on a county-by-county basis and submitted by each gunji; district governor (Ritsuryo period) to the Kokushi; provincial governor (under the ritsuryo system, any of a group of officials, esp. the director), who is in charge of compilation. After that, it is thought that the editing of the submitted reports of each county began based on the ideas and compilation intentions of each country, and the climate record for each country was born. Fudoki has been passed down beyond the time of 1300, and now only five countries have been told. You can see how difficult it is to pass on old records to posterity. The five traditions that have been handed down are “Hitachi”, “Harima”, “Izumo”, “Bungo”, and “Hizen” from the east. Of these five Fudoki, the only one that has been handed down in its entirety is “Izumo no Kuni Fudoki”, and the time of creation and the editor are clear. At the end of the book: 天平五年二月三十日 勘造 秋鹿郡人; アイカノコオリ 神宅臣金太理; かんやけのおみかなたり 国造帯宇郡大領外正六位上勲十二等 出雲臣広嶋とあり: It can be seen that it was created in 733 by the county priest Kanyake no Omikanatari-Ko under the supervision of Izumono Omihiroshima-Ko. There is also a theory that it is considered to be a reprint because it has been 20 years since the apology was issued. The other four Fudoki are incomplete, but are treated as valuable materials that tell the story of the time. Among them, “Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki” is the only description of the eastern country, and is used as a reference when considering the ancient eastern country. It is thought that Fudoki was created in more than 60 countries nationwide during the Nara period, but nowadays, “Izumo Kuni no Fudoki” (complete), “Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki”, “Harima no Kuni Fudoki”, “Hizen no Kuni Fudoki”, It seems that only the five Fudoki of “Bungo no Kuni Fudoki” (part) are reported. The description varies from country to country, but most of the “Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki” is written in splendid sentences with the 46 Pianwens used in Tang (China) and songs written in Man'yogana. In addition, since it is the only remaining climate record in the eastern country, it seems to be an indispensable document when considering the situation in the eastern country at that time. It is also peculiar that many Japanese Takeru appear and that there are many descriptions of gods, especially the description of Kashima District, where the great god of Kashima is enshrined. This is related to the theory that the center of compilation was Fujiwara no Umakai-Ko. 昔, 難波の長柄の豊崎の大宮に天の下知ろし食しし天皇（孝徳天皇）の御世の白雉四年に, 茨城の国造 小乙下 壬生連麿みぶのむらじまろ, そして那珂の国造: 大建: 壬生直夫子; みぶのあたひをのこらが, 坂東惣領高向大夫; ばんどうたかむこのまえつきみ, 中臣幡織田（連）大夫; なかとみのはとりだのむらじ, 達に申し出て, 茨城と那珂の郡からそれぞれ八里と七里, 合計: 十五里（七百余戸）の土地を提供して, 郡家を置いて, 『行方郡』としたらしい. A long time ago, when the emperor of Takeru was patrolled under the heavens and turned north from Kasumigaura, when he passed this country and went to Izumi Kiyoizumi in Tsukino, he cleansed his hands with Shimizu and opened a well with a ball. It was a compliment. This is called Kiyoi of Tama, and it is still in the village of whereabouts. In addition, he traveled by car to the country and offered food to God on the hills of Arahara. At that time, the emperor wanted to see all sides and said to the chamberlain. “The scenery you see while walking out of the car is that the mountain ridges and the sea coves cross each other, undulating and winding. The clouds over the peaks and the fog that sets toward the valley. They are lined up in a stunning arrangement and have a delicate beauty. That's why the name of this country is called a line-up ridge.” Hisashi Namekata later became known as Namekata. 諺に “立雨たちさめふり, 行方の国” といふ. In addition, this hill was named Arahara because it is a hill that can be seen very high from the surroundings. When I went down this hill, went out to the Omasu River, and climbed the river on a small boat, the paddle broke. Therefore, the river is called Mukajigawa River. It is a river that flows through the border between Ibaraki and Namegata. When I went up the Mukaji River to the county border, a duck was about to fly. As soon as the emperor shot the bow, the duck fell to the ground. That place is called Kamano. The soil is thin and there are no living vegetation. To the north of the field, there is a deep forest where Ichii, Kunugi, Kaede, and Japanese cypress grow densely.  Masu Pond there was dug during the time of Tayu; Chief actor in a No play Takamukai. In the north, there is a shrine dedicated to the god of Katori, and the mountains beside it are fertile and densely populated with vegetation. There are sea pine trees and salt-burning algae in the sea where you can see from the ferry west of the county, but there are no rare fish and no whales. There is an old indigenous company in the east of the county, which is called the prefecture's Gion; 祇. Shimizu in the forest is called Oi, and people living nearby come to fetch water and use it for drinks. A large tree stands at the south gate of the county house. The northern branch hangs down until it reaches the ground, and then rises into the sky again. This area used to be a swamp of water, so even now, when it rains for a long time, a puddle can form in the garden of the government building. Tachibana trees are also flourishing in the nearby villages. There is Tega no Sato in the northwest of the county. A long time ago, it was named in memory of Saiki, who lived in this area and was named Tega; 手鹿. To the north of the village is a shrine dedicated to the god of Kashima. The surrounding mountains and fields are fertile and rich in chestnuts, bamboo, and chives. To the north of the village of Oga, there is a village of Nun. It was named after Saiki, who lived in this area a long time ago. The station house Umaya is now located, and it is called the Soun Station. 昔, いはれ（石村）の玉穂の宮に大八洲知ろし食しし天皇: In the reign of Emperor Keitai, there was a man named Mr. Yahazu, who cleared the valley west of the county house and the reclaimed rice field, and healed the newly reclaimed rice field. At that time, the gods of Yatsu appeared in a flock and stood on the left and right, so they could not cultivate the rice fields. (Popularly, a snake is called the god of the night sword. The shape of the body is a snake, but it has a horn on its head. , The house is destroyed and the descendants are gone. Usually, they live in groups in the field beside the county house.) Unable to see it, Mr. Matachi wore armor, took a halberd, and confronted him. Then he set up a wand to mark the moat at the entrance of the mountain, and said, “From today, I will be a priest, in order to make the mountain above here a dwelling place for gods and the village below to be a rice field where people can make. , I will honor God and celebrate the festival until the generations of my descendants, so please do not worship or resent me.” Since then, the descendants of Matachi-Ko have continued to take over this festival for generations to this day, the number of newly reclaimed rice field has increased, and more than ten towns have been reclaimed. 後に, 難波の長柄の豊崎の大宮に天の下知ろし食しし天皇: In the reign of Emperor Kotoku, Mibu no Murajimaro-Ko ruled this valley and built a pond bank. At that time, the god of the Yatsu climbed up to the vertebrate tree by the pond and did not leave easily. Maro-Ko said in a loud voice, “The purpose of building the embankment is to save the people. I don't know if it's a god of heaven or a god of nation, but please listen to the apology.” The snake ran away when he tried to say, “Knock out visible animals and fish insects without fear.” The pond is now called Shiii no Ike（Next to the old man Ikoi's house in Tamatsukuri Town Izumi）. There is a vertebrate tree on the edge of the pond, and there is also a well where fresh water comes out, which was taken as the name of the pond. This is the overland station road to Kashima. Odaka no ri is located seven ri south of the county. It was named after Saiki, who used to live in this area and was named Odaka. A pond was built during the time of the Hitachi National Guard, Tagima chief actor in a No play, and it is still east of the road. In the mountains west of the pond, there are many vegetation and many indigo plants and monkeys. Whale oka, south of the pond, is a place where whales have come all the way to this point and lie down and die. To the north of the pond, there is a shrine dedicated to the god of Katori. It became the name of the pond because there was a large chestnut tree called Kuriya no Ike. In the village of Aso, hemp used to grow at the water's edge. The hemp was as thick as bamboo, and was more than one length long. Castanopsis, Chestnuts, Zelkova serrata, and Taxus cuspidata flourish, and ino and monkeys live there. Horses that live in the field are for horseback riding. In the reign of the emperor (Emperor Tenmu), who ate at the Omiya of Kiyomihara in Asuka, the life of the county's university student, Ohofu no Sato, presented the horse in this field to the imperial court. Since then, it has been called the “Missing Horse”. The horse of Ibaraki no Sato is called "Ibaraki no Sato no Horse”. Kasumi no Sato is located 20 ri south of Gunya. In the old biography, Emperor Keiko, the courtier of Shimousa, when he climbed the hill of Torimi, walked slowly and looked at the country, turned to the east and said, “The blue waves in the sea. You can see this country as soon as it springs up from the red haze that flutters on the land,” said the samurai. From this time on, people came to call it “Human Township”. The shrine in the eastern mountain of the village is full of enoki, camellia, camellia, vertebrate, bamboo, salmon, and arrowheads. The island in the sea west of the village is called Niihari's island. It was named because if you stand on the island and look far north, you can see the mountains of Tsukuba in Small Tsukuba, the country of Niihari. There is a village where you want to come to Ita, located south of Kasuminosato. A station house is placed at a nearby seaside ferry, and it is called Itarai station house. To the west is a forest of celtis sinensis. This is the place where Omi, the king of Omi King, lived in the reign of Asuka Kiyomihara's emperor (Emperor Tenmu).  Many salt-burning algae, sea pine, surf clams, spicy clams, and clams live in the sea. A long time ago, Takekashima Mikoto was sent to the reign of the Emperor Sujin (Emperor Sujin), who ate at the Mizugaki Palace in Shiki, in order to speak to the raging thieves of the eastern country. When Mikoto set up an inn on the island of Aba, while leading the army to the thieves, he saw smoke as he looked far into the eastern ura of the sea. The soldiers suspected that this was a thief army. Mikoto looked up at the heavens and swore, “If it's the smoke of a heavenly man, come and cover me. If it's the smoke of a raging thief, go away and go to the sea.” The smoke flowed far towards the sea. Knowing that he was a thief, he ordered all the soldiers to finish breakfast early, and the army crossed the sea. Meanwhile, Kuzu, Yasakashi, Yatsukushiha, and the chief of the thieves, dug a hole, built a small castle, and lived there. When Mikoto fired his troops and expelled them, he fled to the small castle all at once, closing the gate tightly and standing up. Immediately make a plan, select brave soldiers to hide in the depressions of the mountain, build weapons and arrange them in the beach, line up boats, knit rafts, flip the caps of clothing with clouds, and rainbow the flags. Ama no Torikoto and Ama no Torifue sang and danced the first song on Kishima Island for the first time in seven days and seven nights, and enjoyed playing with the sound of the waves. Hearing this fun song and dance, the thieves came out with their families and men and women, and flocked to the beach and laughed happily. Mikoto had his cavalry block the castle, attacking thieves from behind, capturing them, and setting them on fire to destroy them. The place where I said painfully was the town of Taku (Itarai) now, the place where I said that I would slash normally was the village of Futsuna, and the place where I said that I would slash cheaply was the village of Yasukiri, and I often slash. That is Esaki's eup. In the sea south of Itarai, there is a shore of about 34 里; About 132 km. In the spring, men and women come from Kashima and whereabouts to pick up clams, surf clams and various other shellfish. Tohoku no native place is located 15 里 to the northeast of the county. A long time ago, when I visited this town during the procession of the Emperor Takeru, Torihi Torihiko, whose name was Saeki, rebelled against his life and defeated him. He then headed for Yagatano's Book Palace, but the road was narrow, rugged (rough), and rough, hence the name Toma. The soil in the field is thin, but purple grows. There are also two companies, Katori and Kashima. In the surrounding mountains, there are forests of wild boars, hahaso, chestnuts, and shiba, and many wild boars, monkeys, and wolves live there. To the south of Toma, there is the art capital, Kitsunosato. A long time ago, there were two Kuzu, Kitsuhiko and Kitsuhime. In front of the emperor's pilgrimage, the princess turned against Mikoto, disobeyed herself, and behaved in a very rude manner, so she was killed with a sword. The princess was terrified and fell down on the side of the road with a white flag, and welcomed the emperor. The emperor mercifully gave her grace and forgave her house. As she goes further on her ride and goes to Onukino's palace, she takes her sister with her, and she does her true heart on rainy and windy days. I finished it in the morning and evening. The emperor was delighted with his lonely appearance, and his love became a stain, so he called this field Uruhashi Ono no. There is a rice field village to the south of the art capital village. In the reign of Empress Jingu, a person named Kotsuhikoto was sent to Korea three times. It became the name because it was given a rice field for its achievements. The field of Hazumuno no was named after Yuhazu was built in the temporary palace of the emperor of Takeru. There is a branch of the god of Kashima on the seaside north of the field. The soil is thin, and elms, elms, elms, bamboo, etc. are sparsely grown. There are Auka and Oho villages to the south of the rice field village. A long time ago, when the emperor of Takeru stayed at Kazakinomiya in front of the hill of Auka, he built Ohido no on the urabe and connected small boats to go to Gozaisho as a bridge. He named Ohohikara, Oho. Also, Ohotachibana no Mikoto, who was after the emperor of Takeru, came down from Yamato and met the emperor here, so it is called Afuka's eup. Tanakiyonoi : According to the whereabouts of “Hitachi no kuni Fudoki”, “Hunting under the heavens of Emperor Yamato Takeru and conquering the north of the sea. Fortunately, he faced the water, washed his hands, and prospered the well with balls. He is still in the village of whereabouts and is called Tamakiyoi.” Even though it is a well, it is now like a pond in a garden. According to the monument of “Tamakiyoi” by Mr. Tsutomu KURITA, which stands nearby, it is said that it was dug by the villagers during the famine of Tenmei. 常陸国風土記の記載内容-行方郡-A long time ago, when the emperor of Takeru was patrolled under the heavens and turned north from Kasumigaura, when he passed this country and went out to Shimizu in Tsukino, he cleansed his hands with Shimizu and opened a well with a ball. It was a compliment. This is called Kiyoi of Tama, and it is still in the village of Namegata. 鹿行文化研究所（旧行方郡玉造町甲）1996 “小貫館跡発掘調査報告書” : 小貫館跡遺跡（旧行方郡玉造町西蓮寺字寺前）: 墓地造成工事に伴う発掘調査, 城館, 中世(細分不明)時代, 井戸, 建屋跡2, 縄文時代の石器, 陶磁器, 鉄滓, 古銭, 人骨, 五輪, 塔水輪. Manjuin Sairenji Temple of the Tendai sect is an ancient temple that is said to have been built in 782 and has many cultural assets. The temple gate guarded by fierce Deva Kings was built in 1543 and was originally built as a tower gate. In 1790, it was rebuilt into a mountain gate and then changed to the temple gate guarded by fierce Deva Kings. The principal image is Yakushi Nyorai, and it is commonly recognized as Mt. Koya in Hitachi. The gate and Sorinto（August 29, 1950）are designated as national important cultural properties, and the wooden Yakushi Nyorai（March 12, 1958）sitting statue is designated as a tangible cultural property designated by Ibaraki Prefecture. Only the first floor of the Sanken Ikko tower gate is left, and it is said that the shape of Kaerumata and Minotsuka is peculiar and you can see the local color peculiar to the end of the Muromachi period. Former Namegata District Kitaura Town was merged with Aso Town and Tamatsukuri Town on September 2, 2005 to become “Namegata City”. The city boasts one of the largest production volumes in Japan, and “Seri” has received the A production center designation system by prefecture that has been highly evaluated for quality.
