The original species seems to be L. serriola L., which is distributed from the eastern Mediterranean coast to Asia Minor. It is said that this is because only this species is freely crossed to produce seeds among several wild species closely related to lettuce. It seems that it is known from the mural painting that it was already used in Egypt around 4500 BC. Furthermore, it seems that it was introduced to Greece and Italy and became an important vegetable. However, I heard that all of these were non-heading lettuce. Heading lettuce seems to be known in Europe only in the middle of the 16th century. In China, around 600-900 AD, stalk lettuce, which is an unusual cultivar group that feeds on enlarged stalks, is being cultivated. It was introduced to Japan through China and seems to have been widely cultivated. At present, ball lettuce has become a common vegetable in Japan. Head lettuce has been introduced and cultivated as a western vegetable in the Meiji era. In addition, it was after World War II that the crisp head type that completely headed was cultivated, and it is considered to be a completely new vegetable. The head lettuce used today has been bred in Europe and the United States since the 16th century, and it seems that it has changed beyond imagination from its former form. Unlike traditional varieties, it prefers a cool climate and the optimum temperature for seed germination is 15 to 20 ° C, but the germination rate drops significantly after 25 ° C. Seeds also go dormant when the temperature rises.

It is a well-known fact that the green leaves of lettuce are rich in vitamin E. Vitamin E improves blood circulation, suppresses active oxygen, and is effective in preventing lifestyle-related diseases. It is also rich in vitamin B1, vitamin C and vitamin A. These nutrients help relieve fatigue, relieve irritation, maintain skin health, and strengthen the gastric mucosa.

【Major features】

The Kita Tsukuba Agricultural Cooperative to introduce was born in 1993 by the merger of JAs in 2 cities, 4 towns and 1 village. After that, it merged with the former Iwase Town Agricultural Cooperative and became a wide-area JA with three cities, Chikusei City, Yuki City and Sakuragawa City. It is located in the northwestern part of Ibaraki prefecture, facing the southeast of Mt. Tsukuba, almost in the center of the Kanto plain, and is within 60 to 80 km from Tokyo. The total area is 450.97 km2, forming a vast countryside. The average annual temperature is 13 to 14 degrees Celsius, and the annual rainfall is around 1300 mm. The four first-class rivers that flow through the jurisdiction boast abundant water. Looking at the soil quality, the paddy field along the river is alluvial soil, and the upland field seems to belong to the Kanto Loam Formation (previously introduced). Under abundant land and blessed environment, grains (rice, wheat, soybeans, buckwheat), vegetables (small ball watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers, white rape, lettuce, strawberries), fruit trees (no watermelon, no watermelon), flowers It seems that it produces a variety of agricultural products such as kind and livestock (pigs, cows). Cucumber cultivation in the jurisdiction seems to have started in the mid-1955s. At that time, in order to secure the ground temperature in a simple steel-framed house, a stepping floor mainly made of rice straw and rice bran was made, and planting was carried out when heat was generated. After that, from around 1968, warm cultivation and grafting cultivation in the green house were introduced, and it seems that the area was expanded by improving the cultivation technique. Currently, we are shipping year-round mainly for forcing cultivation and seasonal cultivation, but I heard that the most shipment is from March to May. The number of producers is 104, and the cultivation area seems to be about 32 ha. It's an interesting variety, but it seems that it uses bloomless varieties such as “Kyokko（Aurora）607（Saitama Species Breeding Association (Kukui City): It has extremely strong resistance to brown spot disease and seems to be able to reduce the labor of control. It grows vigorously from the beginning, and the foliage grows vigorously even under strong spring light and dry conditions, so the pinching work can be simplified. Easy to maintain grass vigor. A variety that is extremely resistant to brown spot disease and relatively resistant to downy mildew and powdery mildew.）” and “Senshu No. 2（Saitama Species Breeding Association (Kuki City): It is suitable for hanging cultivation using side branches because it has excellent continuous enlargement of fruits while growing vigorously and well, and labor saving in the middle and latter half in core-picking cultivation. It can be planned. It seems that a high stable yield can be obtained due to the characteristics that the female flower rate is high and stable in short days, weak light, and low temperature, and it is difficult for the legginess to grow. It seems that it is suitable for both pinching cultivation and vine cultivation. A variety that is generally less susceptible to disease due to its rich foliage.）” that are resistant to brown spot disease and have a glossy finish. It seems that all of them are cultivated in Green house because they produce high quality cucumbers by controlling temperature, soil moisture, humidity and so on. “In addition, as an organization with a production and sales system that can provide a stable supply of fruits and vegetables of a certain quality, Ibaraki Prefecture has designated the Ibaraki Prefecture fruit and vegetable brand production area.” On the cultivation side, aiming for sound soil preparation, organic matter such as compost is added, soil diagnosis is carried out in all fields before planting, and appropriate soil improvement and fertilization are performed based on the prescription and fertilizer application design. In addition, in cultivation management, a hydroponic soil cultivation system has been introduced. This system does not require special soil or facilities, and automatically performs watering and fertilizer application work, enabling thorough management and reducing the amount of fertilizer used compared to conventional soil cultivation methods. In addition, daily management work is reduced, and the work of adding fertilizer and soil conditioner at the time of planting is not required, so that labor is reduced. In addition, crops absorb water and fertilizer efficiently, which makes them less stressful and can be expected to increase sales and quality. Regarding the control of pests, Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot（I just heard and examined it, but the adult worm is 0.3 mm long and the body color is pale yellow. Eggs are milky white with a size of about 0.15 mm and preferentially lay eggs on the tips of hair on the back of leaves of plants. It often preys on eggs and larvae of thrips and first-instar larvae of thrips (thirthips second-instar larvae and adults larger than themselves cannot prey on them). He likes high temperature and humidity, and the optimum temperature for activity is 28 ℃, and since it is vulnerable to low temperature, activity seems to decrease in the severe cold season. Even when there are no pests to feed on, it is possible to eat the pollen of the plant and survive, so it seems to be compatible with peppers with a lot of pollen. On the other hand, tomatoes are difficult to use because they dislike tomatine, a secretory substance.）will take measures to prevent the invasion of pests from outside the Green house and prevent the density of pests from increasing. It is said that they are trying to reduce the number of times pesticides are used by releasing natural enemy materials such as. In addition, all producers have been certified as environmentally friendly farmer (as recognized by law) by Ibaraki Prefecture, and are engaged in environmentally friendly agriculture. In JA, in addition to daily patrol guidance to producers by farming instructors, it seems that extension staff, seed company employees and JA farming instructors provide patrol cultivation guidance for all fields once a month. I hear that they are constantly striving to improve quality and stable shipment by confirming the growth situation and quality, and providing guidance on cultivation management methods tailored to individual situations. In addition, the subcommittee organization of producers aims to respond to consumer needs by setting up test fields for demonstrating new varieties and new technologies, and sharing information among all members. Local food production and consumption, it seems that they are trying to maintain and develop the production area. The harvest is done by hand twice a day in the morning and evening, and is mainly shipped to the joint fruit sorting plant in the jurisdiction. At the fruit sorting plant, the cucumbers are carefully sorted by a non-head type fruit sorter without rolling the cucumbers so as not to cause the plants wart to be missing or scratched, and they are packed in boxes according to the standard. In addition, it seems that it is not only packed in cardboard boxes but also shipped in bags according to the needs of actual consumers and consumers. After that, taking advantage of the land, it is shipped to the central wholesale market in Tokyo, which is a large consumption area. When shipping, it is said that it is trying to maximize safety management by introducing a traceability system that can track from production to the final stage of distribution so that consumers can enjoy it with peace of mind. Let's move on to the introduction of the areas in the jurisdiction. ‘Chikusei City’, Located on the west side of Mt. Tsukuba. A central city in western Ibaraki prefecture with an area of ​​205.3 km2. Embraced by the scenic and rich natural environment. The city area is almost flat and is a tributary of the Tone River: Kinugawa, Oya, Gogyo, Kokai, Sakura: The five rivers are first-class rivers that flow from north to south, forming a fertile countryside. The average annual temperature is 13 to 14 degrees Celsius and the climate is mild, and the annual rainfall is about 1,300 mm. Paddy fields in river basin are alluvial soils. The upland area belongs to the Kanto Loam Formation. The jurisdiction is the Shimodate district, Kyowa district, Yamato district, Makabe district, Sekijo district, and Yuki district. Nearby towns and villages: Yuki City, Shimotsuma City, Tsukuba City, Sakuragawa City, Yachiyo Town, Yuki District, Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, Moka City. Located in the northern part of the western region of Ibaraki Prefecture. Shimotsuma City and Yachiyo Town are adjacent to each other. Cultivation began in 1857 (4th year of Ansei) in the former Sekijo Town and in 1860 (1st year of Man'en) in the former Shimodate City, and became a fruit and vegetable brand production area in Ibaraki Prefecture (1982: founded in 1982). , Former Shimodate City was designated in 1985 (Showa 60), Former Sekijo Town, 1992 (Heisei 3). Winter spring cucumber in “Kyowa district” (August 29, 1st year of Reiwa, designated). Forming one of the largest pear producing areas with the largest scale in the prefecture. Promote awareness of environmental conservation agriculture and create products that meet consumer needs. People and Nature, Living with Peace of Mind, A City of Symbiotic Culture-Creating Chikusei City in Collaboration with Citizens. It will be duplicated, but I have investigated it in more detail and would like to write it down. According to history, it is said that Fujiwara no HIDESATO-Ko built Isa Castle in 938-947 due to the turbulence of Taira no MASAKADO-Ko. In the Middle Ages, the clan Isa dominated the area around Chikusei City. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Mr. Isa, who was on the Southern Court side, was attacked by the Northern Court side, and there is a legend that he escaped to Oshu when the main castles, Daiho Castle and Seki Castle, fell. From 1478, Katsuuji MIZUNOYA（（The year of birth is unknown, and it is said to be the son of Tokiuji Isenokami MIZUNOYA-Ko. During the Eikyo turbulence that occurred in 1437, he was given to the Kanto Koga Mochiuji ASHIKAGA-Ko together with his master, Mr. Yuki, and was defeated by the Shogunate army. Protected him until the end and killed him at Yuki Castle.）-Ko became the lord of the Shimodate and built the Shimodate Castle. Incorporating the idea of ​​Feng Shui into the castle town, Dewasanzan (Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture) has five key points, including the demon gate, wind gate, sick gate, and Tenmon. Haguro Daigongen（It is watched as a god of Shinto and Buddhism based on the mountain worship and Shugendo of Mt. Haguro in Dewa Province. Based on the theory of Honji Suijaku, the Holy Kannon Bodhisattva was regarded as the Honji Suijaku god who appeared in the form of “Right” as the Honji Buddha.）was solicited and made a spiritual cornerstone. Mr. MIZUNOYA was working hard as a vassal of Mr. Yuki, but became independent, survived the Warring States period while being a small lord, and was relieved of 31,000 koku (later about 50,000 koku) under the HIDEYOSHI-Ko administration and established the Shimodate domain. After that, Kiyokata UESUGI-Ko in the Kanto region searched for Tokiuji-Ko's orphan in order to revive Mizunoya-Ko, and it is said that Katsuuji-Ko was found. He was given 12 Naganuma hometown and 33 Isa hometown for his efforts to revive the Yuki clan as a senior vassal. In 1478, he founded Yakushido, and in 1481, he invited Buddhist priest “良室榮欣” (priest of Yuki Jokokuji V). The temple name was changed to “Jorinji（Soto Sect; Okazeri Town）” after the opening of the mountain and Katsuuji（定林寺殿玉叟了圓大居士）-Ko. In 1481, it was protected as a successive Bodhisattva temple, and the Mizunoya family donated 150 koku of the temple territory and built Dou. The bronze bell donated by KATSUTOSHI MIZUNOYA-Ko in 1567 (Muromachi period work, 4 cases of 4 steps of milk, total height 89 cm, diameter 49 cm) remains and was designated as an important cultural property designated by Ibaraki Prefecture in 1963. Many Dou, temple treasures, and records were destroyed by fire in 1880, but they were later rebuilt.）In the same year, the Haguro Daigongen of Dewasanzan (Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture) was solicited to establish the Kamihaguro Shrine and the Shimohaguro Shrine. When MIZUNOYA Family transferred to Bichu Nariwa in 1639, it seems that the feudal lord changed to Matsudaira, Masuyama, Inoue, and Kuroda in a relatively short period of time. When Fusashige ISHIKAWA-Ko became the feudal lord with 20,000 koku in 1732, the Ishikawa family celebrated the Meiji Restoration for nine consecutive generations. In addition, Shimodate, Chikusei City, which is a castle, has been economically developed as a post town on the Yuki Highway, where many supplies have been brought in and it has become a collection place for “cotton,” which is a special product. Shimodate City, Former Makabe District-Sekijo Town, Akeno Town, and Kyowa Town merged to form March 28, 2005. It is located in the western part of the prefecture, about 70 km north of Tokyo, about 15 km east-west, about 20 km north-south, and has an area of ​​205.3 km2. Adjacent to Shimotsuma City and Tsukuba City, which includes Japan's leading science and technology center city “Tsukuba”, to the east is Sakuragawa City, to the west is Yuki City, Yachiyo Town and Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, and to the north is Moka, Tochigi Prefecture. Adjacent to the city. The terrain is generally flat, and the Kinugawa and Kokaigawa rivers flow from north to south, forming a fertile countryside. The altitude is about 20 m to 60 m, and in the north there is a hilly area that connects to a part of the Abukuma mountain range, and the altitude is about 200 m. The climate is Pacific, mild and refreshing throughout the four seasons. As for the road system, National Road No. 50 is developed in the east-west direction and National Road No. 294 is developed in the north-south direction, and the intersection of these two lines becomes the center of the city. Furthermore, prefectural roads will be radiated from here to Ishioka City, Tsukuba City, and Koga City. The JR Mito Line runs from east to west, and the Moka Railway Moka Line runs from Shimodate Station to Toride in the south and Motegi（Not Motogi, Itako City, but different reading）in the north.下館祇園まつり : One of the best summer festivals in Ibaraki prefecture, which is held over four days around Haguro Shrine and Shimodate Station. In addition to the 120-year-old Meiji portable shrine, the female portable shrine of the Aiden god, Tamayorihime, the Heisei portable shrine, which boasts the heaviest weight in Japan as a portable shrine carried every year, more than 30 children's portable shrines will be handed over. In the early morning of the final day, the magnificent sight of “Kawatogyo; When the movement of the divine spirit itself is especially valued as a manifestation form of the divine power; 神幸祭” carrying the Meiji portable shrine into the river is brilliant. 母子島遊水地 : Many photo enthusiasts and fans gather at “Diamond Tsukuba,” where the sun rises from the summit of Tsukuba, which is seen twice a year.

Tsukubano, which is blessed with vast plains and water, is a treasure trove of fresh taste, where the blessings of the earth and the warmth of human hands come to fruition.As one of the best rice fields in the Kanto region, the vast plains at the foot of Mt. Tsukuba and several first-class rivers flow through the city. In addition, it is blessed with abundant land and water, and is famous as one of the leading rice fields in the prefecture. Its production and shipment are among the highest in the prefecture, and it is cultivated mainly in Koshihikari. In addition, rice crackers using rice, brewed products, miso, soy sauce, etc. have been handed down to the present day, following the old-fashioned manufacturing method.Due to the recent natural orientation, it has become popular and has taken root in the streets. In addition, there are many long-established confectioneries loved by literati in the Shimodate district, which prospered as the center of commerce and culture in the area. The city is also widely known as a large production area for red pears, which boasts one of the largest acreages in Japan. Due to pesticide-reduced cultivation, strict fruit selection, and traditional cultivation techniques, its beauty is outstandingly designated as a brand production area in the prefecture. The main varieties are the popular varieties of “Kosui” and “Hosui” and the large “Nitaka”, which are in season from summer to autumn. Recently, it is also focusing on the production of “Akizuki” and “Keisui; Ibaraki's first original variety produced by the prefecture over 17 years. It is a hybrid of Shinsetsu and Chikusui pear, and has a sugar content of about 13 degrees, a strong sweetness, and a moderately refreshing acidity”. Ibaraki Prefecture has a history of pear cultivation since the Edo period and is one of the oldest pear producing areas in Japan. July 4th is “Nashi Pear Day”, pears in Ibaraki Prefecture start in July. Pear production is the second largest in Japan. The climate with a large temperature difference between day and night, abundant water, and blessed soil are suitable for pear cultivation. In the prefecture, it is produced mainly in Chikusei City, Shimotsuma City, Kasumigaura City, Ishioka City, and Yachiyo Town. The climate with a large temperature difference between day and night, abundant water, and blessed soil are suitable for pear cultivation. In the prefecture, it is produced mainly in Chikusei City, Shimotsuma City, Kasumigaura City, Ishioka City, and Yachiyo Town. From the beginning of July, starting with house pear (Kosui), which grows pears in a house that is rare in Japan, we will start with delicious pears while changing varieties such as “Shimotsuma Kanjuku pear”, Keisui, Hosui, Akizuki, Niitaka, and smile. You can enjoy it until around the time. Greenhouse-grown pears (Kosui) will be distributed from July, and the open field will be from early August to late August. A variety that marks the start of the pear season, with a light texture and plenty of juice. Since it has less acidity, it has a stronger sweetness. The crispy and refreshing texture seems to heal your mind. Shimotsuma Kanjuku Pear is from mid-August to late August. It is a rare ripe pear that is matured for 10 days or more than a normal pear and is harvested after determining when it is ready to eat. Keisui Pear is from early September to late September. It is an original brand of Ibaraki, and because it is large, has a high sugar content, and has low acidity, you can feel a deep sweetness when you eat it. Hosi Pear is from late August to late September. The flesh is soft, the juice is plentiful, the acidity is moderate, and the refreshing flavor that is not only sweet is felt, which is exciting. Akizuki Pear is from early September to late September. A variety of three pears, Hosui, Niitaka, and Kosui, whose flesh is dense and sweet, with a refreshing and juicy texture. Niitaka is from late September to mid-October. Also known as the King of Pears, the larger ones weigh more than 1 kg. It has low acidity, is fresh, has a rich flavor, lasts a long time, and can be enjoyed for a long time. Smiles are from mid-October to late October. It is a variety that is a combination of Niitaka and Hosui. It is large and has plenty of juice, has a high sugar content, lasts for a long time, and is full of smiles. Chikusei City forms the largest pear producing area in the prefecture. The history of pear cultivation in the area is old, and cultivation began in 1857 in the former Sekijo Town and in 1860 in the former Shimodate City. Former Shimodate City was designated as a fruit and vegetable brand production area in the prefecture in 1985, and Sekijo Town was designated in 1991. As for the varieties, “Kosui Pear” and “Hosui Pear” account for almost 80-90%, and late-maturing “Akizuki Pear” and “Niitaka Pear” seem to account for the rest. The introduction of “Nikkori Pear” as a new variety is progressing, and some new varieties such as “Keisui Pear” are being cultivated. In addition to open-field cultivation, simple cover cultivation to protect from rain (1983-), unheated cover cultivation (1993-), and warm cultivation (1991-) have been introduced in some of the production areas to disperse labor. It is an effective means of expanding the cropping season. From “Greenhouse Kosui Pear” in early July to “Nikkori Pear” in early November, shipments tend to be mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area for about four months. In order to raise awareness of environment-friendly agriculture and promote product creation that captures consumer needs, we practice reduced pesticide cultivation using sex pheromone agents, reduced chemical fertilizer cultivation utilizing annual soil diagnosis, and the use of organic matter. There seems to be. At the time of shipment, submission of an agricultural product production control ledger is a condition, and we strive to ship safe and secure pears. In addition, all Greenhouse Nashi pear members have acquired eco-farmers. The quality targets for the production area are 2L or more and 70% for “Kosui Pear” and 12 degrees or more for sugar content, and 3L or more and 13 degrees or more for “Hosui Pear”. Cultivation seminars, assessment meetings, etc. are held mainly by the production departments of each organization. Also, it seems that they are trying to improve the overall level. In 2013, the “Chikusei City Fruit Tree Producing Area Council” was launched, and the “Chikusei City Fruit Tree Producing Area Structural Reform Plan” was formulated. , We are trying to enhance and strengthen the production area support system. In the future, we plan to revitalize the production area by actively promoting large seedling raising, tree joint tailoring cultivation, root area limited cultivation, introduction of new varieties, etc. Kanto Cultural Property Promotion Association Co., Ltd.（Nunogawa Area, Chikusei City）, Established on November 22, 2010. It is a valuable property shared by the people. I feel that it is my greatest joy to be involved in the work of protecting cultural properties and passing them on to future generations, and I devote myself every day. We were able to open a demo booth at the ICOM Kyoto Convention held in 2019. ICOM : An international non-governmental organization founded with the aim of advancing and developing the museum. A global community for museums and museum professionals from around the world to discuss and interact with ethical standards and innovative practices. Since its founding in 1946, it has been working on the protection and promotion of museums and the heritage entrusted to them. In addition, ICOM has announced that the role of museums as a place to provide information, inspiration, and insight is indispensable for the development of a sustainable society. There are national committees and regional alliances organized by country, and international committees organized according to the various specialties of the museum. In addition, it seems that there are Standing Committees and working groups to consider issues related to museum ethics and how to respond in an emergency such as a disaster. Each of them holds annual meetings to exchange the latest information and share knowledge. Every three years, a General Conference is held where all committees meet together. The ICOM Code of Ethics has been developed to provide basic guidelines for museums around the world to achieve activities that meet certain standards. As an organization representing museums and museum experts on a global scale, we maintain cooperative relationships with international organizations such as UNESCO, ICOMOS and INTERPOL, and work to protect heritage and prevent illegal trade, as well as in emergencies such as conflicts and natural disasters. We are engaged in activities to build a risk management and support system for cultural properties. It also prioritizes the sharing of knowledge and know-how, and seems to be focusing on human resources development for the expanding museum community around the world. Promoting transcultural dialogue and exchanges among museum experts by holding world-class training. The theme of this time is that the museum will build a peaceful and better future now that the politics, economy and society are undergoing major changes internationally, such as global climate change, poverty, conflict, natural disasters, human rights suppression, and environmental problems. It was a tournament to think about the role to play in order to do so. What can we do to create a new future while cherishing not only the historical events revealed by the excavation but also the cultural heritage, traditional performing arts, and lifestyle inherited from the past? It was an exhibition announcement that would serve as a reference for how to proceed. 'Sakuragawa City',Located in the midwestern part of the prefecture, the total area is 180.06 km2.

From the genotype analysis of Toki and Orin and Kogetsu, apples with a genotype like Toki do not occur when Orin and Kogetsu are mating parents, and when Orin and Fuji are mated, the genotype of Toki Can now be explained consistently, and it seems that Pollen parent is Fuji. Self-incompatibility The S genotype is S2S9, which is compatible with the main varieties “Fuji”, “Tsugaru”, and “Orin”, but is incompatible with “Kinsei”, “Jonagold”, and “Aori 21”. Alternaria mali (occurs on leaves, fruits and shoots. The leaves are susceptible to infection of young leaves and form brown spotted lesions. The lesions appear to expand and become amorphous. If a large number of leaves are formed or the leaf stalk is affected, the leaves fall early. In the fruit, many small black spots are formed around the axillary part at the young fruit stage, and the fruit becomes rusty with the enlargement of the fruit. In addition, black spots are formed at maturity, but in yellow varieties, red rings may be formed around the lesions. In shoots, brown circular pathological punctums are formed around the skin）Seems to be strong.

Thatched roof: A farmhouse with a Hip roof, thatched roof, and Wooden one-story house built by Hansuke Kawamura in Mizumoto Village in 1874. Wood (durable Thujopsis dolabrata SIEBOLD et ZUCCARINI, Zelkova serrata (Thunb.) Makino, etc.) was purchased from raw wood and spent three years sawing and building. It seems that the building has smokers called all sides. Toru Kawamura, the eldest son of Hansuke Kawamura, went to Keio Gijuku in a high-rise farm building in the Meiji era with an account room and tea arbor, which are rare at that time. , Also appointed chairman of the prefectural assembly on December 5, 1928) and is also active in prefectural government. When relocating, we restored it using the materials used at the time of construction as much as possible, and reproduced the tatami room, Living room that is always there, bed, dirt floor, kitchen, cooking stove, and stable. The Tsuruta Town mascot character, “Tsururin”, is a character selected from works that are open to the public nationwide, and the name is said to have been decided by a vote of elementary and junior high school students in the town after the open call for participants. She wears a crane with the name of the town and a hat with apple flowers, which is the flower of the town, and is active in promoting Tsuruta Town nationwide with the city emblem in her chest.

【Major features】

According to the local history of Tsuruta, the name of the town is “The origin of the name of my Tsuruta is literally the name of the village named after the crane. Even when returning from the South Sea, the Tsugaru region is in a good position to prepare for crossing the Sea of ​​Japan, so it seems to be a group of people in the past (omitted).” The reason why the village name was changed to “Tsuruta“ in the “City and Village Division Reason Statement” submitted by County mayor knowledge to the prefecture seems to indicate that “Tsuruta is due to large Village”. With an area of ​​46.40km2, it is a town whose core industry is agriculture, which mainly cultivates paddy rice and apples. In addition to paddy rice and apples, the number of complex businesses that grow Steuben grapes and cherries is increasing. You may be so attracted to the agricultural economy that you are finding a way to tomorrow. Overseas Sister City Exchange: Hood River, Oregon, USA (concluded on July 27, 1977).

Tsugaru Fujimi Lake: The largest reservoir in the prefecture. It is said that around 1660, the 4th feudal lord of the Hirosaki Domain, Nobumasa TSUGARU (Junior Fifth Ran, Etchu Mamoru)-Ko built an embankment for the development of a newly reclaimed rice field and used it as a irrigation pond. It seems that it was named because it reflects Tsugaru Fuji and Mt. Iwaki on the surface of the lake for the longest time in Japan. In 2010, it was selected as one of the “100 Best Ponds” by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Since ancient times, the lion dances and lion dances of the Tsugaru region have been close to the milestones of the lives of the people of Tsugaru, such as praying for abundance of five grains, worshiping illnesses and troubles, and worshiping the spirits of the dead during the Obon festival. From 1596-1614, a person named Nekoemon from Kyoto, who lived in what is now Matsumorimachi, Hirosaki City, danced a dance based on an ancestral lion dance roll for the residents suffering from an epidemic, and warded off the disease. Is said to be the beginning of the Tsugaru Lion Dance. Dogen Nomoto（1655-1714）（From the sericulture diary: The supply and demand of textiles in the territory, especially silk fabrics, was a necessary item for the clan, so silk fabric craftsmen were invited from the advanced areas of Edo and Fukushima for a long time, and silk fabrics were also introduced to promote sericulture. At the same time, he was trying to popularize weaving. However, the production of silk fabrics was systematically and in earnest, and it became possible to take the form of a handicraft industry by Dogen Nomoto, who was invited from Kyoto in 1693. It seems that it was largely due to the power of). According to the article of “Edo Diary” (Hirozutsu) on December 18, 1693, Dogen is a fake of 150 Koku of knowledge and action by the mouth of the chief priest Tsugaru. ), The status is invited as a doctor. In the “Hirosaki Domain Agency National Journal” January 6, 1691, it is stated that the tea ceremony is: Dogen Nomoto, and also offers a vow as a tea ceremony (June 6, 1694). It is clear that he was called for the tea ceremony instruction.  However, although it is at the request of the clan that Dogen Nomoto, who plays the role of the tea ceremony, has contributed to the production of silk fabrics by arranging silk fabric masters and providing technical guidance for sericulture by himself, it seems that the circumstances are not clear. On October 3, 1699, Kyoto silk cloth weavers Shozaburo Hoshika and Jiroemon Tomie arrived from Edo. The servants of both of them were due to Dogen Nomoto's long-standing escalation, and were an invitation to collect the Oriza and to improve the guidance and production of silkworm and silk weaving in the territory. The servants of both of them were due to Dogen Nomoto's long-standing escalation, and were an invitation to collect the Oriza and to improve the guidance and production of silkworm and silk weaving in the territory. When he left Edo, he brought a letter from the Edo mansion servant to the national license servant, which both weavers can use for mulberry cultivation and sericulture in various parts of the territory, as well as for dyeing and weaving. It seems that it was stated that when conducting a patrol survey of such matters, they would be allowed to freely inspect without any problems, and that they would be required to take a sericulture response. Both weavers have begun patrols of the territory after their arrival. When visiting Kamiiso (currently the area along Mutsu Bay from Aburakawa in Aomori City to Minmaya Village in Higashitsugaru County) and Shimoiso (currently the area along Mutsu Bay east of Nonai in Aomori City), Karamushi (Choma) , I learned about the planting of fibers (seri) collected from the skin of the stems, which are used as raw materials for textiles such as sushi, and have filed a petition for the cultivation and ownership of mutsu in various parts of the territory. The investigation of fibers and dyes other than sericulture and silk weaving is based on the memorandum from the servant of the Edo clan's residence mentioned above, and the patrol has reached ninety-nine villages in various places. Many of the inspected Kamiiso Negishi Village (currently Tairadate Village Negishi, Higashitsugaru-gun) were excellent in sericulture, and good quality cocoons were produced. However, according to the producers, they have been in a situation of advance borrowing from the purchasing merchant due to the continuous poverty of life and the lack of operating funds every year. The repayment was in the form of a deduction repayment of the produced raw silk (kiito) (a thread made by combining several fibers from the silk moth cocoon). The clan is calling for increased production, curbing the outflow to the outside, and negotiating to buy pupae (cocoons from which pupae have turned into moths, which are used for cotton and pongee). The raw silk that Dogen brought to Kyoto was evaluated by Japanese thread wholesalers as being the best in Japan and could be used for high-end products (“Hirosaki Domain Agency National Journal“, February 25, 1701 et al.).）, a scholar who was called by the 4th feudal lord, Nobumasa-Ko, corrected the sutras written in the scrolls into plain words and made efforts to dance widely even in Tsugaru. It is said that there is a record that Nobumasa-Ko added a lion dance to the Hirosaki Hachimangu Festival in 1682 and visited it. There are two types of lion dances that are performed at tsu receptions, celebrations, and events: bear lions and deer lions. The bear lions, which are mainly distributed in the mountains of Tsugaru, dance with short-horned horns, while the deer lions, which are distributed in the every year. The repayment was in the form of a deduction repayment of the produced raw silk (kiito) (a thread made by combining several fibers from the silk moth cocoon). The clan is calling for increased production, curbing the outflow to the outside, and negotiating to buy pupae (cocoons from which pupae have turned into moths, which are used for cotton and tsumugi). The raw silk that Dogen brought to Kyoto was evaluated by J

 area of ​​the plains, have branched horns and dance lightly while jumping. Is said to be a feature. The town is loved by cranes: Since ancient times, it has been written in the titles and poems as an auspicious bird that symbolizes longevity. In addition, since the couple are close to each other and love their children, they appear in the design of celebration as a congratulatory creature that connects them. Tsuruta is said to have been named after the town because many cranes flew in during the Edo period. In this town of happy cranes, you can see real cranes instead of objects at Tsuruta Town Japanese Crane Nature Park on the shores of Lake Tsugaru Fujimi. At the Tancho Crane Nature Park on the shores of Lake Fujimi, you can see the Tancho Crane, which is designated as a national special natural monument, up close through the fence. In 1993, he took over two feathers from Heilongjiang Province, China, and in 1997, he took over a pair from Amur Oblast, Russian Federation. Today, it seems that red-crowned cranes born in the town and borrowed from Tama Zoological Park are bred. In addition, at the firefly pond in the park, local elementary school students have been releasing Genji fireflies（Luciola cruciata）, Heike firefly（Aquatica lateralis）larvae, and the snail “Semisulcospira libertina” that feeds fireflies since 2007. Along with the beautiful waterside, you can see the fantastic sight of fireflies dancing in July. I would like to visit and see it once in the near future. Tsuruta Town History and Culture Tradition Hall: Founded in 1897, built in 1945 (formerly Mizumoto Elementary School). Location: “Life” is the 24th NHK Taiga drama broadcast from January 5th to December 14th, 1986. July 8, 1994 “Tsuru no Maihashi (300 m long triple drum bridge: No. 1 in Japan)”. Since it is difficult to confirm the details of the wholesale company, let's move on. Yamatami's CA storage (Controlled Atmosphere) is a method that regulates oxygen (1/10 of air), carbon dioxide, nitrogen, temperature, and humidity to enable long-term storage with good freshness. Minimize apple breathing. Furthermore, in detail, it refers to a storage method that minimizes the respiration of stored fruits and vegetables and suppresses the decrease in freshness by adjusting the oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide concentrations in the air（A gas replacement method that replaces the air in the storage with a gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide, a vacuum method that uses a vacuum pump to reduce the pressure inside the storage, and a chemical reaction that occurs at the boundary between the inside and outside of the storage. There are a polyelectrolyte method that discharges the gas inside the storage to the outside of the storage, an adsorption method that adsorbs the gas to the oxygen adsorbent installed in the storage, and the like. With either method, the amount of oxygen that oxidizes the food and reduces its freshness can be reduced from the storage, and the food can be kept in a reduced oxygen state.）. I want to make varieties that can contribute to the apple industry in Aomori Prefecture and Japan. Mr. Toki, the breeder, continued to think so and continued to sow apple seeds for 40 years to improve the variety. He has heard that it takes more than 10 years to grow one variety, even if it is said that she grows one variety. Furthermore, until the variety is registered, fertilizers are sown and pesticides are applied to apples that are uncertain whether they are growing varieties, and even though profits cannot be obtained, the cost will increase. In other words, breeding apples requires enormous time and money. In particular, “Toki” has been cultivated since 1985, and it took 16 years until 2001, when it applied for registration after various tests and characteristic surveys. It was born and the fruits were small at first, and in Japan, where large balls are preferred, it was not possible to put it on the market as a product. However, because of its high sugar content, good aroma, crispy texture, and good taste, he repeated research such as repeated grafting and succeeded in growing the small “toki” into a large ball. Now, let's take a look at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration homepage from the Seedling Law.

From around 2002, the day after the application for registration, it seems that the evaluation in the production area market began to increase rapidly due to the good taste and the lack of promising yellow varieties in October. Production, which was about 700 tons in 2008, has tripled to more than 2,000 tons in 2013, five years later. In this way, I heard that “Toki” quickly became the core variety of the yellow variety in October. It is a famous story in Japan that the trainer, Mr. Toki, was awarded the “Jinya Kimura（Born in Aomori prefecture. He is a graduate of currently Iwate University Faculty of Agriculture. In 1924, he worked at the Hokkaido Agricultural Experiment Station to study paddy rice diseases, but in 1928 he worked at the Aomori Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station Horticultural Department (Aomori Prefectural Apple Experiment Station). I was involved in research on pest control methods in Aomori. He made great achievements in the history of apple cultivation, especially establishing a control system for apple Monilinia mali（It is an infectious disease caused by a type of mold, which occurs during the flowering and leaf-opening stages, and affects new leaves, leaves, new branches, and fruits. Damaged areas tend to soften or rot rapidly. When it is terrible, the damage spreads to the tip of the branch, and it seems that the tree vigor is significantly weakened.）and receiving a doctorate in agriculture from Hokkaido University. In 1970, the Jinya Kimura Apple Awards was established by people involved in apples, and since 1976, the Jinya Kimura Award has been presented to groups and individuals who have contributed to the promotion of the apple industry every year. He received the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Forestry Award in 1963 and the Order of the Rising Sun and Gold Rays with Rosette in 1975.）Writings such as “Apple cultivation complete editing” Award” (2010), which is given to the meritorious people of the Aomori apple industry by the Aomori Apple Association for this achievement. According to the association, the crested ibis produced by Mr. Toki is very good, and no variety has spread nationwide in such a short period of time. In addition, the demand for overseas exports is high, and it is said that it has become a variety that supports the cultivation base of this prefecture. In addition, he has been a caretaker and auditor at the Prefectural Apple Breeding Club for over 30 years since 1976, and has long supported apple breeding in the prefecture.

Storability is about 1 month at room temperature and about 3 months when refrigerated. The main economic variety of Nakate species. 

It has the S2S9 genotype, and the cross is compatible with “Tsugaru Apple” and “Fuji Apple”. Is this painting Ursus thibetanus?

Shinonoi Oiwake lodging was not a post town approved by the Shogunate, but an inn between Tanbajima inn and Yashiro inn. Therefore, although facilities such as troop headquarters, sub-honjin, and Hatago in the formal sense were not established, it became a junction between the Hokkoku Highway and the Zenkoji West Highway. And it developed greatly with many travelers and worshipers of Zenkoji Temple pilgrimage.

Production and consumption of local food is an initiative to consume agricultural, forestry and fishery products (limited to those used for food) produced in the domestic area within the area where they are produced. In addition to improving the food self-sufficiency rate, it will also lead to the sixth-order industry through direct sales offices and processing efforts. Fresh and cheaper agricultural products can be obtained from places close to consumers. You can check the production status by yourself and get a sense of security. It is a great opportunity to get a sense of familiarity with food and agriculture and to deepen your understanding of the relationship between production and consumption and traditional food culture. It leads to an eco-friendly life. Producers can carry out efficient production that accurately grasps the needs of local consumers through a face-to-face relationship with consumers. By reducing distribution costs, the take-home pay of producers can be increased, and profitability can be expected to improve. By selling directly, it is possible to sell small quantities of products, processed / cooked products, and in some cases irregular or non-standard products. Face-to-face sales（counter service）directly receive consumer reactions and evaluations, and producers are more willing to improve quality and customer service. As a merit of the mediator, for municipalities and nutritionists, using local agricultural and livestock products for school lunch will lead to promotion of dietary education for students. By setting up a local agricultural products corner in the supermarket, it is possible to secure consumers who are looking for fresh and safe agricultural products. By providing unique menus that utilize local ingredients to restaurants and inns, it is possible to attract locals and tourists. For food manufacturers, using local ingredients can reduce distribution costs and environmental burdens. By selecting, using, and eating domestic agricultural, forestry and fishery products, many consumers will be able to produce more domestic agricultural, forestry and fishery products from producers, and from companies and organizations involved in food, domestic agricultural and forestry products. Better products, dishes and eating habits using marine products are proposed, so more people choose domestic agriculture, forestry and marine products: Food Action Nippon

According to Mr. Takizawa, the director of the representative union, the Kyowa Horticultural Agricultural Cooperative is a small and unique agricultural cooperative with 307 members who specialize in selling apples, with fruits accounting for more than 90%. Since its establishment in June 1948 in Shinshu Kyowa Village as the “Kyowa Village Horticultural Agriculture Cooperative”, it has been selling apples for 70 years with members who are enthusiastic about making apples. Recently, it has been a long time since the original mission of agricultural cooperatives, the production guidance business and sales business, was neglected and it was pointed out that the members were leaving the agricultural cooperative, but to strengthen the production guidance and sales business. The demands of union members are becoming even stronger than before. Almost 73 years ago, our seniors established the cooperative in anticipation of the original role of such agricultural cooperatives, and I think that their foresight is downright. The decline of agriculture and rural areas is scattered all over the country, and I am deeply saddened by the increase in idle devastated land. Because of this situation, agricultural cooperatives must return to the starting point of their role and strive to further exert their functions. While meeting the expectations of these members, we will work together with them to provide customers with safe, secure, and hearty delicious fruits, so please look forward to it. It was that. By the way, Mr. Takizawa, who works as the union leader, is also an officer of the Nagano City Agricultural Corporation. Location: Okada, Nakagosho, Nagano City (JA Nagano Kaikan 3rd floor): Agriculture in Nagano City is declining in vitality due to the decrease in the number of farmers due to the aging population and the shortage of successors, and the increase in damage to idle farmland and harmful birds and beasts, and the amount of agricultural output is decreasing. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to unify the information, accumulation and know-how possessed by related organizations such as governments, agricultural cooperatives, and commercial contractors, and to establish a new organizational system that functions efficiently and effectively. Reconstruction of agricultural work support system, promotion of agricultural land use accumulation facilitation business, securing of training of diverse bearers, and farmers and consumers through business management in which farmers, agricultural organizations, commerce and industry businesses, and government are integrated It is said that the aim is to strengthen ties with urban residents and to contribute to the development of agriculture in Nagano City and the revitalization of local communities and economies. What is the “Naga no Life” product certification system? We have certified “Nagano Life” products as safe and delicious processed products using vegetables and fruits produced mainly in the mountainous areas of Nagano City. Certification criteria: The main raw materials for the products to be certified are agricultural products produced by members of the public corporation, or 70% or more of the raw materials are produced in Nagano City. Unique and excellent quality. The production and manufacturing process is transparent and the safety is reliable. Stable and continuous production is expected. It should be a product that is particularly revitalized in mountainous areas, such as the creation of new employment. The product does not violate the regulations of the Food Sanitation Law (Law No. 233 of 1947) or the Law Concerning Standardization of Agricultural and Forestry Materials and Appropriate Quality Labeling (Law No. 175 of 1950). For a list of “Nagano no Inochi” certified products by genre, please refer to the website of the Nagano City Agricultural Corporation. Kyowa Gardening Direct Sales Office: The union direct sales office sells freshly picked apples from that period, from gifts to private use. In addition, it seems that you can buy cheap scratched apples such as 520 yen with about 8 bags that can only be bought at the direct sales office. If you eat it at home as soon as possible, it is very affordable and easy on your wallet. It is also good to be used for cooking such as sweets and jams. In addition, as another popular product, it seems that it also sells “Yam”, a specialty product of Matsushiromachi, Nagano City. If the peculiar stickiness is irresistible, it seems that there are some neighbors who come here for this purpose. In addition, various bargains such as various fresh vegetables harvested by neighboring farmers will appear depending on the day. Well, what will happen when you come? It's fun to come. By all means, please visit Kyowa and feel free to ask the employees who are also local sisters to buy delicious Kyowa apples. 121 years in the sun. Straight taste that has been passed down. The “Shinonoi” district of Nagano City is located at the southernmost tip. The Japanese Alps is far to the west, the Sugadaira Plateau is to the east, the Chikuma River is to the south, and the Iizuna River is to the north. Surrounded by nature, Zenkojidaira (Shinano no Kuni: Yotsudaira: From the south to Chikuma City, Nagano City, Suzaka City, Obuse Town, Takayama Village, Iizuna Town, Nakano City, the entire Chikuma River basin) Therefore, in 1966 (Showa 41), due to the merger with Nagano City, “Suzaka City” became the Shinonoi district of Nagano City. Currently, it is an area that plays a sub-center role in the southern part of Nagano City. The main industry is that a commercial area with a mixture of houses is formed around Shinonoi Station, and roadside commercial facilities, business establishments, factories, etc. are located along the national highway. Nagano (Shinano: Gokishichido refers to the Kinai five countries of Yamato, Yamashiro, Settsu, Kawachi, and Izumi, and the seven roads refer to the seven sections of Tokaido, Tosando, Hokurikudo, Sanindo, Sanyodo, Nankaido, and Saikaido）: Tosan-do) is a representative apple producing area. The history of “APPLE” cultivation in Nagano Prefecture is 1874”Industrial Promotion Board” “Home Ministry” was set up in the first-class dormitory in charge of the breeding industry, 1877) From the Ministry of Home Affairs to the Industrial Promotion Bureau, 1881, it was reorganized into the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce and promoted to a ministry. It is said that the cultivation of “APPLES” began and was spread throughout the prefecture from around 1897 to the end of the Taisho era. Over time, the representative varieties of “apples” around 1945 were “Kunimitsu: Kokko” and “Jonathan apple: born in New York”. Variety breeding began around 1965. History of Nagano Prefecture Fire School: May 1956 Established “Nagano Prefecture Fire Training Center” at 452 Nagano City Prefectural Town (currently Nagano Prefecture Land Improvement Hall). October 1959 Renamed to “Nagano Prefecture Fire School”. 1962 January 1022, Kitaishidocho, Nagano City, moved to the National Health Insurance Hall (currently Nagano University Preparatory School). May 1962, moved to 140 Okada, Nagano City, Nagano Prefectural Silkworm Experiment Station (currently NBS Nagano Broadcasting). Moved to 452 Nagano Prefectural Town (currently Nagano Prefectural Land Improvement Hall). Moved to 967-1 Shinonoi Fuse Takada (currently Nagano Prefectural Buried Cultural Center) in August 1968. Relocated to the present. March 1993 Expanded emergency training room, ordinary classroom, etc. in the education management building. March 1995 Expanded the land, expanded accommodation facilities (west dormitory) and water discharge training ground, and opened a circuit training ground. Relocation. The famous fire brigade has a long history. It is said that the establishment of “Iroha Shijuhachigumi” was the predecessor of today's fire brigade. By giving each fire extinguisher a name such as “Iroha”, the result was that they competed for each other's honor and worked, which resulted in great results in the development of firefighting. Although the town fire extinguisher was under the supervision of the town magistrate, it was a purely self-governing organization, all expenses were borne by the town, and the organization and personnel were left to the freedom of the town officials. Moreover, most of the cost was spent on purchasing equipment and equipment, and the members were unpaid. At that time, the firefighting in the villages was mainly rush firefighting, and it seems that there was no organized firefighting like a castle town. In the olden days, this rush firefighting was hit by a five-member group that originated in the five-family system after the “Taika Reform” and a youth group that can be called the current youth club. In the Meiji era, the town fire extinguisher was transferred to Tokyo Prefecture, and Tokyo Prefecture established a fire department in 1870 and reorganized the town fire extinguisher into a fire department. In 1873, firefighting affairs were transferred to the Ministry of Home Affairs, and firefighting under Tokyo Prefecture was transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which was newly established in 1873. This became the basis of the organizational activities of the Meiji fire department. However, there are few public firefighting groups nationwide, and most of them are private firefighting groups as autonomous organizations, and it seems that there were many that were just names. Therefore, in order to foster an efficient firefighting organization that responds quickly to the development of society, the government enacted the Firefighting Group Regulations (Edict No. 15) in 1894, taking the opportunity of reorganizing the local system, and set the firefighting group to prefectures. As the governor's jurisdiction, he sought to unify nationwide. The specific content is that the governor should set up the firefighting team ex officio, and it is a strong absolute supreme order that the existing firefighting team should not be recognized or the ones organized by the municipalities should not be approved. However, while the fire brigade was under the control of the governor's police authority, it was stipulated that all costs should be borne by the municipalities. Even after the enforcement of the rules, the establishment of firefighting teams did not proceed slowly, but it seems that the number increased dramatically at the end of the Taisho era due to the active efforts of police chiefs and others. From around 1929, under the guidance of the military, protection teams were formed in various places as private air defense groups. The Air Defense Law was enacted in 1937, and as the international situation deteriorated, it became urgent to improve the national defense system. In 1938, under the name of the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, a draft of the guidelines for the integration of the two groups was issued regarding the unification of the fire brigade and the protection team, and the outline of the integration of the two groups, which is the basis for the enactment of the Edict, was decided. After these, in order to integrate the fire brigade and the guard team and establish a new guard organization, the “Guard Team Ordinance” was promulgated with a decree in January 1939. As a result, the fire brigade since the Meiji era was dissolved, and it was launched all over the country as a guard team on April 1 of the same year, and it seems that the war ended with the addition of air defense missions to the conventional water fire fire fighting business as a police auxiliary organization. After the war, a report from the US Investigation Team recommended the separation of police and fire departments, and the General Headquarters instructed the reform of the police system. The Ministry of Home Affairs promulgated a fire brigade decree on April 30, 1947, following a report from the Police System Council. As a result, the conventional guard team was dissolved, and a new voluntary democratic “fire brigade” was formed in municipalities nationwide. However, in response to the police system council's report and the government's thinking, the General Headquarters considered that the content of democratization was incomplete and did not approve the police system reform plan in line with the report. The government drafted a firefighting organization bill and asked for the approval of the general headquarters, but the general headquarters partially revised the memorandum on the firefighting system (in the memorandum, Municipal Public Safety Commission was changed to “Municipal firefighting manages municipalities.” Changed to “belongs to”) I have also notified the outline of the bill prepared by the Private Information Bureau. The Ministry of Interior revised the bill based on this, and promulgated the Fire Defense Organization Law on December 23, 1947. As a result, the fire department became independent from the police, and all the duties were transferred to the municipalities.In addition, a new fire brigade ordinance was promulgated on March 24, 1948 in order to thoroughly enforce the purpose of the Fire Fighting Organization Law and to change the fire brigade ordinance, which was a decree, to a government ordinance. The authority to command and supervise the fire brigade was transferred from the chief of the police department or the chief of the police (fire chief) to the mayor, the chief of the fire department, or the chief of the fire department. It was abolished. After that, some fire brigade ordinances lacked clarification about the ground law, and the Cabinet Order actually enforces the matters already stipulated by the Constitution or the law, except when there is a special delegation in the law. It is limited to so-called enforcement orders that make the necessary provisions (Article 73, Item 6 of the Constitution), and without the delegation of law, it is not possible to impose obligations or establish provisions that limit rights. Since it is not possible (Article 11 of the Cabinet Law), it is not appropriate to stipulate basic matters concerning the fire brigade in a cabinet order with such characteristics. It seems that Article 15-2 was added and the fire brigade ordinance was abolished at the same time. After that, under the situation where fires frequently occurred even after the enactment of the Organization Law, which was a major obstacle in the process of rebuilding Japan, the Fire Fighting Organization Law was amended by the legislation of lawmakers in March 1951 in order to strengthen and expand the fire fighting organization. rice field. As a result, the installation of a fire engine, which was voluntary, has become mandatory. In this way, the fire brigade has undergone various transitions since it was established as the originator of the Yoshiyu fire brigade in the Edo period (see the Fire and Disaster Management Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the history of the fire brigade). Now, let's return to the introduction of apples that have been grown (produced) with all our heart.

Shinano Azumino: The “Azumi tribe” is a clan of the sea god tribe (Watatsumi Zoku), who has a high culture and high political status. It controlled the water traffic of Fukuoka, controlled the sea area (Amabe), and traded to China.

It was thought that rice cultivation was introduced in the Yayoi period, but it has been discovered that the Akodai-style pottery of the Jomon period, about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, had indentations of rice paddy. It is older than the Minamimizote site in Okayama prefecture, which was the oldest in the Jomon period 3,000 to 4,000 years ago. Amakusa is also known for its location in the Japanese archipelago and for boating events in the south, and it is speculated that it could be the first window for Jomon rice cultivation and culture from the Korean Peninsula, the continent, and the southern waters. The Oya site is said to be located on a sand dune 2.5 m to 3 m above sea level formed on the left bank of the mouth of the Hirose River in the northern part of the former Hondo city. The area of ​​the ruins is about 10,000 m2, and it mainly contains the relics from the early to late Jomon period, and there is an inclusion layer in the late Jomon period. The specified range was 2,863 m2. Small-scale excavation for compiling city history in 1988 and archaeological site confirmation survey in 1992. As a result, about 10,000 relics have been excavated. The main ones are clay figurines, beast-shaped clay products, rock figurines, shafts of stone hooks, stamp-type clay figurines, scrapers, stone harpoons, etc. These relics are valuable as an indication of the complex influence of continental and eastern Japanese culture.

Theory: Law No. 132 of 1947, Agricultural Cooperatives Law（Final Amendment: December 11, 2019 Law No. 71）, Cooperatives are autonomous organizations of people, jointly owned and democratic by those who voluntarily joined hands. The purpose is to fulfill common economic, social and cultural needs and wishes through the business entity managed by. One of the words that expresses the idea of ​​a cooperative is everyone is for one person, one is for everyone. Each person plays a leading role, and based on the idea of ​​independence and independence, it is an organization that fulfills each desire to make our lives, regions, the world, and the times happy. Agricultural cooperatives (agricultural cooperatives) are one of the cooperatives, established based on the Agricultural Cooperatives Law (Agricultural Cooperatives Law), and given legal personality. I heard that the purpose of the Agricultural Cooperative Law is “to promote the development of cooperative organizations of farmers, thereby increasing agricultural productivity and improving the economic and social status of farmers, thereby contributing to the development of the national economy.” It is an organization organized by small and medium-sized producers and consumers to improve their businesses and lives from the perspective of mutual aid. Cooperatives include consumer life cooperatives whose members are consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises whose members are small and medium-sized enterprises, and agricultural cooperatives also indicate cooperatives whose members are farmers. Chapter 1 General Provisions: Article 1, this law aims to increase agricultural productivity and improve the economic and social status of farmers by promoting the development of cooperative organizations of farmers, thus of the national economy. The purpose is to contribute to development. (2001, Law 94, partial amendment) Chapter 2, Article 4.2, A person who is not an agricultural cooperative or a federation of agricultural cooperatives shall not use the characters agricultural cooperative or federation of agricultural cooperatives in its name. On October 1, 1992, 12 JAs in 2 cities and 9 towns in Amakusa jurisdiction merged to form “JA Amakusa”. After that, in January 1997, a branch office was opened in Goshouramachi, which was an area where JA was not installed, and in October of the same year, JA Ryugatakecho was absorbed and merged. Amakusa's warm climate is ideal for citrus cultivation. A variety of citrus fruits such as Satsuma mandarin, Ponkan（Citrus reticulata）, Pearl citrus, Kiyomi orange, and Amakusa late citrus are carefully cultivated, including the high-class fruit Dekopon（Citrus reticulata Siranui）, which can be proud of throughout the country. In addition, this blessed climate is suitable as a production area for ultra-early rice, and is also famous as the earliest shipping area for Koshihikari Rice in Kumamoto prefecture. Amakusa Japanese black beef, which is bred all over the island, is working to establish a new brand. Amakusa calves may become famous Japanese beef in various places. In addition, we also cultivate vegetables, including lettuce from national brands, and produce many items such as okra, cherry tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, onions, and cucumbers. Fruits such as strawberries, peaches, loquats and melons are also cultivated in small quantities. Flower cultivation is also popular in areas centered on the Oyano and Shinwa areas. Gypsophila, carnation, statice, eustoma, etc. seem to bloom beautiful flowers from December to May. Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, merged with 2 cities and 8 towns, Hondo City, Ushibuka City, Ariake Town, Goshoura Town, Kuratake Town, Sumoto Town, Shinwa Town, Itsuwa Town, Amakusa Town, and Kawaura Town, in March 2006. Born on the 27th. Located in the southwestern part of the prefecture, it is located in the center of the Amakusa Islands, which consists of Amakusa Uejima, Amakusa Shimojima, and Goshourajima, which are surrounded by the beautiful indigo sea. The area is 683.82 km2 (as of October 1, 2019), which is the largest in the prefecture. Most of the terrain is occupied by forests, steep and few plains, urban areas and agricultural lands develop in flat areas along rivers and estuaries of coastlines, and national roads and prefectural roads are arranged along the coastline to connect urban areas. , Seems to be in place. I hear that the industry has mainly developed agriculture that makes use of the warm climate and fishing that makes use of abundant fishery resources. It is also blessed with many tourism resources such as natural scenery, southern Barbarians

culture and Christian history. It takes about two hours by car from Kumamoto City, where the prefectural office is located, but it is expected to develop in all fields as a base for the west coast of Kyushu that connects Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima, such as industrial development and interregional exchanges. Raised as a community. The average temperature for 10 years (FY2008-FY2017) at the Kumamoto Local Meteorological Observatory Hondo Area Observatory（Location: Hontobaba, Hondo Town, Amakusa City, Latitude / Longitude: 32 degrees 28.1 minutes north latitude 130 degrees 10.8 minutes east longitude, sea level height: 30 m, anemometer height: 6.5 m, thermometer height: 1.5 m, Observation start date: 1977.2.25.）is 16.5 ℃, the maximum temperature is 35.9 ℃, and the minimum temperature is -3.3 ℃. Due to the influence of warm currents, it seems that it has a warm oceanic climate in winter and relatively cool in summer, such as a frost-free area in a part of the coast. In addition, the average precipitation for 10 years is 2,213.2 mm, and about one-third of the annual precipitation is concentrated during the rainy season in June and July, and from July to September, it overlaps with the time when typhoons are likely to approach. Damage caused by wind and rain is frequent. The village of Sakizu in Amakusa is located in Kawauramachi, Amakusa City, and is evaluated as a village that continued to worship while coexisting with Buddhism, Shintoism, and Christianity under the prohibition of religion. As one, it was certified as a World Cultural Heritage in July 2018. Sakitsu was started in 1569 by Jesuit monk Almeida, and most of the villagers became Christians. A church and missionary residences have been built in the village, and a religious organization consisting of three subgroups has been formed as an organization to support the church. After that, Amakusa was dominated by Yukinaga Konishi, a Christian Japanese feudal lord, and from 1591 to 1597, a collegio to train missionaries was set up in the village next to Sakitsu. It is said that four Tenshō embassy students are also enrolled here. It seems that the Romaji letterpress printing from Japan was performed by the Gutenberg printing machine they brought back. According to Luis Frois's “History of Japan”, the village of Sakitsu was called “Sashinotsu” and was regarded as an important place of worship. Medal and Rosario has been introduced. Sakitsu Church, also known as the “Oura Cathedral of the Sea,” designed and constructed by Yosuke Tetsukawa, a master of church architecture. Built around 1934 during the time of Father Harbu, the Tenshodo is located in the center of the village overlooking the Suwa Shrine, and when viewed from the Chapel Bell Observatory Park, it looks like it floats in the Kawaura Bay in the background. It is said. The spiers that rise in the front are made of reinforced concrete, and the interior is mainly made of wood, which is unusual for a church. On the other hand, to explain in more detail, it seems that the Christians of Shimo-Amakusa, who did not participate in the Shimabara-Amakusa Rebellion, hid in the Sakitsu Village, which could only be reached by sea, and deepened their faith. In the Amakusa region, in 1566, the lord Hisatane AMAKUSA allowed the missionary Luis de Almeida to preach for the purpose of Nanban trade, and since then many Christians have lived throughout Amakusa. During the Shimabara-Amakusa Rebellion, the Christians of Kamiamakusa, who were close to Shimabara, joined the rebellion and died. On the other hand, fortunately, the Christians in the Shimo-Amakusa region had little information, so they escaped the difficulties and decided to hide in a limited village such as the Sakitsu village, which was only accessible by boat at that time. It seems that it has become. (Currently, the national highway No. 389 bypass is used, but at that time it was only possible to go by sea, so it was possible to hide.) Hidden Christians disguised themselves as Buddhists and visited Sakitsu Suwa Shrine. I heard that he continued to keep his faith. After the Shimabara-Amakusa Rebellion, the religion was changed and the danka system began, and a guardhouse was set up and religious control became stricter. The Christians seemingly respected the gods and Buddha in order to protect their faith, and played Buddhists to hide. It is said that there is a tradition that when visiting the Sakizu Suwa Shrine, which was built in 1651, he used to say “Amen Deus”. In 1873, the Persecution of Christians in Japan (in 1612, the second shogun Hidetada Tokugawa banned Christian beliefs from the direct control of the shogunate and his vassals, and the following year, a decree that spread throughout the country. Those who did not follow this and the missionaries were expelled from the country. At first, the shogunate tolerated Christianity, but as the number of Christians increased, it became afraid that it would hinder the rule of the Edo shogunate. In addition, the Western lord wanted to prevent profits from trade. Therefore, the shogunate began to ban the mission of Christianity. The third shogun, Iemitsu, further banned it. After the rebellion of Shimabara and Amakusa in 1637, the Christian straitjacket was further strengthened), and the return to Catholicism began in 1876 in Sakitsu. Many converted, and in 1880 a small hut-like church was built next to Suwa Shrine. In the middle of the Meiji era, 550 out of 600 Sakitsu were converted, and more than 300 congregations still live there. In the past, Kumamoto was bred with one of the largest chickens in Japan called “Amakusa Daiou”, and it was said that it was highly prized mainly for “Boiling in Hakata, Fukuoka” because of its deliciousness and good meat quality. However, unfortunately, it became extinct in the early Showa period due to the fact that it was a large species with a low egg production rate and the spread of imported species that also serve as egg meat. After that, there was no end to the desire to restore “Amakusa Daiou”, which has a reputation for its good meat quality and usability, and after spending a long time of 10 years at the Kumamoto Prefectural Agricultural Research Center, it finally became one of the largest illusions in Japan. It leads to the restoration of the local chicken “Amakusa Daiou”. As the name suggests, it is the largest male and has a height of 90 cm and a weight of about 7 kg. The meat is not too hard and not too soft, and is characterized by its exquisite texture, elasticity and juiciness. It has a slight sweetness and richness, but it is not persistent or peculiar, and once you eat it, its taste is forever memorable. The body is very large, and not only is the amount of meat abundant due to its size, which is one of the largest in Japan, but also all parts such as thigh meat, breast meat, chicken meat, etc. can be used without waste, so the taste and usability etc. It is popular as an ideal ingredient in every aspect. The history of Kamiamakusa City is that this area, which is located at the junction of the Ariake Sea and the Yashiro Sea, is believed to have been dominated by fisherman (Amabito) for a long time as a cornerstone of sea transportation, and is scattered with some of the prefecture's leading decorated tombs. It seems that Oyano and Matsushima belonged to Mr. Oyano, and Ryugatake and Himedo belonged to Mr. Sumoto during the so-called Amakusa Five People era before the Edo period. After the Amakusa Shimabara Rebellion, the Shogunate dispatched the entire Amakusa area as an imperial fief in May 1640, and dispatched the direct retainer of a shogun 700 Koku Shigenari SUZUKI as the Amakusa Edo-period prefectural governor (magistrate, bailiff). In the year, 10 groups (86 villages) per town were set up on the whole island, and they were dominated by Tomioka magistrate's office. At the same time, he set up a large shoya in each group, a shoya in each village, an elderly person, and a peasant family, and he said that they were maintained as an administrative agency. In August 1868, Amakusa became the jurisdiction of Nagasaki Prefecture from imperial fief, and in December 1869, the entire island was reorganized into 40 villages. After that, in 1871, Amakusa was incorporated into Yatsushiro prefecture, and then in January 1872, I heard that it became the jurisdiction of Higo country Shirakawa prefecture (currently Kumamoto prefecture). From 1954 to 1956, the so-called “the Great Merger of the Showa Era” created Oyano Town, Matsushima Town, and Ryugatake Town, and in 1962 Himedo Town was born. It was incorporated into Unzen-Amakusa National Park in 1956, and the Amakusa five bridges were completed in September 1966. It seems that it became. Amakusa Airport opened in 1999, and the Kumamoto Amakusa Highway (Regional High Standard Highways) was partially opened in 2002, improving the convenience of wide-area transportation. On March 31, 2004, Kamiamakusa City was born by merging the four towns of Amakusa Ueshima (Oyano Town, Matsushima Town, Himedo Town, and Ryugatake Town), which had strong ties as the gateway to Amakusa. In addition, the scenery of Matsushima, which is one of the three major Matsushima islands in Japan, and the view from the Kyushu Nature Trail (Kankai Alps) such as Ryugatake and Shiratake, show a beautiful expression every season as a scenic spot. The climate is a typical West Sea climate, with an average annual temperature of about 17.2 ° C, annual precipitation of 1,839 millimeters (from the 2018 Japan Meteorological Agency website), only a few snowfalls, and part of the coast is frost-free. It seems that it has become. Due to the relatively warm climate throughout the year, fruit trees and flowers are actively cultivated. The total area is 126.94 Km2, which extends about 15 km east-west and about 28 km north-south.  The breakdown is 54.2% for forests, 22.4% for fields, and 5.7% for residential land (as of January 1, 2018). Among them, Oyano Island has many hills with relatively gentle slopes, and it seems that flower cultivation and dairy farming are carried out. Paddy fields spread around the rivers that flow through each region, and the scenery is wonderful and reminds me of the countryside. Special products are Amakusa sardines, Dotted gizzards, dried young sardines, red sea bream (red sea bream), octopus, Yushima radish, prawns, golden pike conger, and sardines! Zhu Jiro (Gypsophila), Gypsophila, Pearl, Amakusa whetstone, Chrysanthemum, Yoyogama (popular with a warm, rounded shape and presence), ZoZo kiln (“warm porcelain” made from natural ceramic stone The theme is to create highly original works one after another. Characterized by the rich expression created by natural materials). Shiro is from Kamiamakusa City? Shiro AMAKUSA, who led 37,000 people and challenged the shogunate, seems to be a legendary person full of mystery and romance, but he is a real person. He is a boy born between Jinbei Masuda, a ronin of the Konishi family, and Malta (baptismal name) from the same city, and his name is Shiro Masuda Tokisada. In 1637, a large-scale riot occurred in Shimabara and Amakusa in Kyushu. Both were originally ruled by “Christian daimyo” and were inhabited by many Christians. However, the new feudal lord suppressed Christianity and paid a heavy annual tribute. The damage of famine was added to this, and the people finally stood up. The general general of Ikki is a boy in his mid-teens called “Amakusa Shiro” who was a Christian and had religious charisma. Shiro led more than 30,000 people and stood in Harajo, Amakusa, and fought bravely against the shogunate and clan forces. At that time, the flag raised by the people is still there. Blood stains and holes that appear to have been gun bullets show the fierceness of the battle. The Shogunate, which saw the situation seriously, made the crackdown on Christianity even more severe. Now, let's get into the introduction of this product. In 1940, the deceased Yuji Kikuchi of Hachijojima introduced it from Tinian Island in the Northern Mariana Islands of the Federated States of Micronesia to Hachijojima. After that, seedlings taken from the original forest grown on Hachijojima were brought to Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands in 1973. Returned to Japan from the US occupation after World War II. The distance from the Ogasawara Islands to Tinian is about 1400 km, and Guam is nearby. Kikuchi Lemon (Saipan Lemon) is an evergreen tree of the Rutaceae family. It seems to be a sport of Meyer lemon found in China. It seems that the mother species, Meyer lemon, was born from a natural cross between lemon and sweet orange. Therefore, the impression is that there is little acidity. The altitude of the tree is about 1 to 3 m. Compared to ordinary lemons, the acidity of the flesh is mild and the skin is not very thick, and when matured on the tree, the skin is not very thick and there is no bitterness. Also, because it is sweet, it is said that the peel is used for every meal on Hachijojima. The fruits are somewhat smaller than regular lemons, but rounded. When sweetened, it becomes orange. The impression that Yap Lemon (Kikuchi Lemon, Saipan Lemon) has fewer seeds and lighter skin and flesh than Meyer Lemon. We must not forget how this variety came to this day. Thanks to Frans Nicholass Meijer (1875-1918), a Dutch plant hunter employed by the US Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. It seems that the name is also associated with him.

More vulnerable to cold than Lisbon species. It is ever-bearing (the property of fruiting year-round without being affected by day length or temperature), and it has good flowering and is multi-fruited. Cute white flowers bloom from the light pink buds. I heard that open-field cultivation is possible in warm regions and general regions on the Pacific Ocean side.

Kumamoto Green Lemon: Flower language is discretionary and sincere love. The fruit is passionate.
