In Shizuoka City, Mr. Irie, who is said to be a descendant of Fujiwara no TAMENORI, who was credited with the Taira no MASAKADO turbulence, seems to have had a strong force. It seems that the powerful families in the city area have advanced to various parts of Shizuoka prefecture under Mr. Irie. Warashina, Tegoshi, Yoshikawa, Funakoshi, Shibukawa, Yabe, Breath Tsu (Okitsu), Yui, Kanbara, etc. have been active since the Kamakura period. From the rebellion of Northern and Southern dynasties, Nanboku-cho, Takauji ASHIKAGA of the Northern Dynasty seems to have tried to attach the clan Norikuni IMAGAWA(Suruga Imagawa's first head)to protect Suruga and Tootomi, and to bring in local samurai to his side. In addition, he paid attention to Kiyomigata, built Kiyomiji Temple (Okitsu, Shimizu Ward), which was devastated by the war, and seemed to have defended the highway and monitored the anti-shogunate forces. On the other hand, Sadanobu KANO, who had a base in Abe Castle (Nishigaya, Aoi Ward), is active as a central figure in the Southern Court of Suruga Province. Abe Castle is located on a mountain with an altitude of 435 m that straddles Uchimaki, Shiinoo, and Hatori on the west bank of the Abe River, and forms a sphere of influence based there. However, it seems that Abe Castle was gradually overwhelmed by the Northern Dynasty. I hear that the origin of Shimizu's green tea production begins in Kiyomi and Ashikubo. It seems that Kiyomi's tea was a specialty because it was a post town on the Tokaido during the Edo period. It is recorded that tea was exported directly from Shimizu Port from the end of the Edo period to around 1906, and production expanded rapidly.

【Major features】
In the Kito Village Suke district (currently Naka Town, Naka District, Tokushima Prefecture), which is the birthplace of Kito Yuzu, the native seedlings have been seasoned as home fruit trees since before the Meiji era under the location conditions of the hilly and mountainous areas with cool and humid climate conditions. It seems that it has been used for. From around 1962, the “Study Group on Yuzu Cultivation” was established in the Kito Village, and it seems that it has become possible to earn a living by striving to develop as a local industry, such as quality improvement and seedling production to shipping. It is said that he received the “Asahi Agricultural Award(Since its establishment in 1963, it has been widely recommended to society by digging up the efforts and ingenuity of farmers. Take a leap in the promotion of agriculture and rural areas. The Asahi Shimbun Company (Head office location:
Tsukiji, Chuo Ward, Tokyo, Nakanoshima, Kita Ward, Osaka City, Osaka) was terminated in 1998.)” in 1978 as a result of his unwavering achievements. The Suke district is one of the most famous areas of “Kito Yuzu” in the village, but it seems that it took a lot of time and labor because there was no farm road in the district that could be carried out and it was forced to be carried out by human shoulders. Under these circumstances, a connecting road to the district was established by the group farm road project from 1976, and the farm road development that can circulate in the park was completed at the end of 2001, and now the distribution of agricultural products is rationalized and the transportation labor is reduced. It is said that it contributes to the conservation of the production area of “Kito Yuzu”. The areas adjacent to Kito Village are the same 7 municipalities: Kaminaka Town, Kisawa Village, Kaifu County Hainan Town, Miyoshi County Higashiiyayama Village, Kochi Prefecture Kami County Monobe Village, Aki City, and Aki County Umaji Village. It seems to be. And it seems that all the boundaries between these areas and villages consist of mountain ridges. The flow path of the Naka River, which has its source in the village, also carves deep valleys and repeats meandering to keep people away. It seems that the pass that people used to maintain human, material and cultural exchanges with other areas in such isolated villages was the only important passage. It seems that the three main passages used until recent years were the Iwakura Pass to Kisawa Village, the Yotsuashido Pass to Kochi Prefecture, and the Hoshikoshi Pass to Kaminaka Town. If you go south down Kaminaka Town, you will reach Kirigoe Pass, which is open in Kaifu District. It was in 1942 that the current National Highway No. 175 was connected to the lower reaches of the Naka River as a roadway, and I heard that the Yotsuashido Pass tunnel with the Kochi prefecture side was opened around 1964. It is clear that the change from this pass to a modern motorway has brought about a major transformation in the lives of the villagers. The relationship between the village and other areas as seen by the marriage carried out through these three pass roads and one driveway is interesting. First of all, the Iwakura Pass, which opened to the north of the village, is located in the Suke district, and is particularly closely related to the Buraku village. If you cross this pass, you will reach the neighboring Kisawa village, and then you will have exchanges with Miyoshi, Oe, Myozai and Tokushima. From the Meiji era to recent years, the number of people who had a marriage with Kisawa Village was the second highest after Kaminaka Town in the Suke district. Currently, it seems that using a bus will be a difficult detour. Also, in the Izuhara district, in the case of exogamy during the Meiji era, it seems that he had the second relationship with Tokushima after Kaminaka Town. Next, when using the Yotsuashido Pass, which leads to Kochi Prefecture from the village to the west, in the Kitagawa area, in the case of exogamy, there is more interaction with Kochi Prefecture than in any area in the prefecture, especially Kami District. Seems to have had the deepest relationship. And it seems that the marriage relationship with Kochi Prefecture has continued from the Meiji era to recently with the assistant district at the eastern end of the village. And it seems that it was necessary to cross the Kirigoe Pass in order to have a relationship with the lower reaches of the Naka River. It is said that the entire village had the most marriage relationships with the areas down the Naka River (Naga District, Anan City), especially with the neighboring Kaminaka Town. If you cross the Hoshigoe Pass via Kaminaka Town, you will reach Kaifu District, which opens to the Pacific Ocean. It seems that it was especially important for the transportation of goods. Marriage is also carried out through this passage, and it seems that the relationship is deep even in the Showa period. However, it seems that attention has also been paid to the fact that they do not have a marriage with the Kitagawa area. Finally, it seems that there was no out-of-prefecture marriage in areas other than Kochi prefecture throughout the Meiji and Taisho eras. I heard that it is only related to the Kinki region in the Taisho era in the Izuhara district. Some examples with Hokkaido seem to be interactions with people who have a blood relationship with people who have previously moved out of the village. Now that the road has changed from a mountain pass to a driveway, the conditions for deciding marriage have changed significantly, but we considered the marriage zone in Kito Village about 50 years ago (1959-1968). It seems that the number of marriages in the village, which accounted for 67.7% during the Meiji era, has decreased to 28%. Instead of this, it seems that out-of-prefecture marriages now account for the same proportion as in-village marriages. And it seems that the area related to marriage outside the prefecture has changed from the conventional Kochi prefecture to the Kinki region, especially Osaka. It seems that the marriage zone has been expanded to the lower reaches of the Naka River and the urban areas of Tokushima Prefecture, as the number of exchanges with other Naka District and Anan City, as well as Kaminaka Town, which has been the most closely related to the prefecture, has increased. It seems that exchanges with Tokushima City also accounted for 11%. From past materials, it can be seen that the number of marriages with Kochi Prefecture, which has been closely related to the past, is 4.5%, and that with Ama District is 3.9%, although it is a small number. The Kito region of Tokushima prefecture is located on the hillside of Mt. Tsurugi and is a region where citrus fruits are cultivated. In the summer, it is said that Citrus sudachi and Citrus yuko, which have a strong flavor and good quality, can be obtained due to the cool and rainy climate and the temperature difference between day and night peculiar to the mountains. In the early 1965s, production for the purpose of shipping fruits and vegetables began in the former Kito village, and we switched from private yuzu vinegar to fruit and vegetable sales, and we are proud of the leading shipment volume and quality in the whole country, taking advantage of the location conditions of the Niudani region. , Forming the “Kito Yuzu” brand, which is full of fascination both in name and reality. The quality has been recognized by the cultivation of yuzu for about half a century, and it has received G1 certification from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries as a proof of a regional brand that protects the distinctive regional products cultivated by the climate and tradition. It also seems to be highly evaluated overseas. Geographical Indication Protection System (under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries): Registration number: No. 42, registration date September 15, 2017, registration application number 113, registration application date, February 27, 2017, name of registered producer organization, Kito Yuzu Promotion Council, Address of registered producer group, Kanbari, Kuwano Town, Anan City, Tokushima Prefecture, Name of representative of registered producer group, Chairman Akira Kimura, Classification of specified agriculture, forestry and fishery products, Class 3 fruits Yuzu, names of specified agricultural, forestry and fishery products, Kito Yuzu, production areas of specified agricultural, forestry and fishery products, Naka Town, Anan District, Tokushima Prefecture. In order to maintain and develop the “Kito Yuzu” brand, which has been cultivated for many years and can ship high-quality, “safe and secure” Yuzu without rotting fruits throughout the year, we thoroughly disseminate it at cultivation seminars, field study meetings, etc. I hear that it is certified as being evaluated for improving production volume and quality through continuous cultivation management. In addition, pruning work is carried out in the garden, and it seems that the yuzu is finished to a better quality by carefully thinning out the long branches and crossing branches and making a healthy tree. Citrus Yuzu is an evergreen small tree that is said to have originated in China. Among the citrus fruits, it has strong cold resistance and seems to be planted mainly as a garden tree. Fruits are bumpy green, spherical and tend to turn yellow when ripe. The pericarp has aroma and strong acidity, and is used for cooking. It seems that the fruits are called herbal medicines, the pericarp is called the orange bark, and the seeds are called the orange nucleus. It is self-fertilizing and seems to bear fruit with one. Although it has strong cold resistance in cultivation, it is a little weak in heat, and it seems that temperate regions are suitable for cultivation. I have heard that the soil prefers deep-rooted and well-drained land, and grows poorly in humid places such as paddy fields. Let's take a brief look at Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, where the producer's field is located. It seems that they are trying (rationalization). It is no exaggeration to say that JA has clear goals even in the national ward. By the way, I would like to introduce the production area, which is also in the jurisdiction from here. First of all, Shimizu Ward seems to have prospered as a post town on the Tokaido, with the development of Shimizu Port, which is a good natural port. Currently, the Shinokitsu container terminal is being developed at Shimizu Port, and further development is expected as a global logistics economic base by promoting the development of the “Chubu Odan Expressway” and “Shin-Tomei Expressway” in the future. It seems that it has been done. It is said that it will continue to create an environment where people can enjoy history and various cultures, promote various local activities, and aim to create a town where people can live with peace of mind throughout their lives. In the waterfront area, hydrophilic spaces such as “Shimizu Marine Park” have been developed, and many luxury cruise ships and sailing ships from around the world call at Hinode Pier every year, making it a place of relaxation for residents to interact with the sea. That's it. Urban development centered on JR Shimizu Station and measures based on the “Shimizu Port Vision” are being promoted, and it seems that the foundation suitable for an international marine cultural city is being established. It is said that it will promote efforts that utilize the diverse potential of the sea and the port, aiming to create vitality and liveliness as a port city overlooking Mt. Fuji. Mt. Fuji seen from “Miho no Matsubara”, Nihondaira and Satta Pass known for the Hagoromo legend; Swan maiden(The origin seems to be various in each country, but even if the celestial maiden is at a loss, after that the celestial maiden became a man's wife, and a few years later the man inadvertently leaked (or the celestial maiden guided and heard) words Those who know the hiding place of Hagoromo and return home, those who become a wife and have many children, but those who find Hagoromo and return to the heavens with the children, the children remain on the ground and become a person who makes a great achievement I hear various stories such as what has become, and what a man or child (in some cases, with the wisdom of the celestial maiden) comes up to the heavens by taking various measures to meet the celestial maiden who has left.)is beautiful, and “Funakoshi Tsutsumi Park” and “Gotenyama” are famous for cherry blossoms. “Miho no Matsubara(In 2013, it was registered as a World Cultural Heritage as a constituent asset of “The object of worship of Mt.

In addition, “Tetsushuji” related to Tesshu YAMAOKA(In swordsmanship, he studied Shinkage-ryu swordsmanship at the age of 9, Hokushin Itto-ryu swordsmanship at the age of 16, and at the age of 21, he became an instructor at the training institution “Kobusho; Military School” established by the Shogunate. It is a famous story that he continued to practice swordsmanship even after entering the Meiji era and opened “Muto-ryu” in 1879.), “Okitsuza fishing villa” which restored the villa of Kinmochi SAIONJI-Ko, the last elder, “Old Igarashi residence” known for Western-style houses in the Taisho era, “Old Igarashi residence” which retains the remnants of the lodgings It seems that there are many historical buildings such as “Yui Honjin Park”. As a special product, the production of green tea and mandarin oranges is famous, and it is also one of the leading rose producing areas in Japan. Frozen tuna, which boasts the best landing in Japan, and marine products such as shirasu and sakura shrimp caught in Suruga Bay seem to be popular as a taste unique to the town blessed with seafood.(Shimizu Port is famous as one of Japan's three major beauty ports, close to Miho Matsubara, which is a constituent asset. It is warm throughout the four seasons and you can enjoy sightseeing comfortably. It is the place where Ieyasu Tokugawa, the first shogun of the Edo Shogunate, retired, and there are many historical buildings such as Sunpu Castle Park and Shizuoka Sengen Shrine, including the national treasure Kunozan Toshogu. At Sunpu Takumi inn, you can experience Shizuoka's traditional crafts such as Suruga Bamboo Ware, Suruga Japanese dyeing, and Suruga Laquer Ware. Enjoy fresh seafood such as sakura shrimp and shirasu, which are the special products of Suruga Bay, including tuna, which boasts the best landing in Japan.)In connection with the “Shizuoka City Aiming Green Tea Place Japan's No. 1 Ordinance” that came into effect in April 2009, an orchid-shaped design(The label affixed to the tea box when exporting Japanese tea from the early Meiji era to the beginning of the Showa era, created by ukiyo-e craftsmen at the time, and its modern design is known as a pioneer of Japanese graphics design.)contest was held in October 2010 as part of the ward attraction creation project, and many applications were received from all over Japan. It seems. Through the contest, information on the appeal of green tea in Shimizu Ward is disseminated nationwide. Since it was the birthplace of the Soccer Sports Boy Scouts and the former Shimizu City was also the home town of “Shimizu S-Pulse” when the J League was established, it is said that it is promoting various sports and recreation including soccer. The “Shimizu Minato Festival” held in August every year seems to be an event that truly symbolizes the summer of Shimizu Ward, with about 20,000 people dancing “Port Kappore(kappore, kappore, kappore, kappore, Altogether, Altogerther now kappore, kappore, kappore, kappore, I'm movin'up, I'm movin'up)” and 10,000 fireworks coloring the night sky.
Hesperidin (C28H34O15) contained in the fruit skin has a function of promoting the absorption of vitamin C (ascorbic acid; C6H8O6), and β-carotene is expected to have a function of strengthening the mucous membrane and boosting immunity. Therefore, it is expected to have the effect of enhancing immunity, preventing infectious diseases such as colds, and accelerating the recovery of illness. It is clear that the slippery part of the seed surface is rich in pectin (Polygalacturonic acid; D-galacturonic acid (C6H10O7)) quality. It is expected to have the effect of preventing the rise of blood sugar level and lowering the cholesterol level.
木頭系や海野系, 早生種の山根系, 種無しの多田錦など. Physical beauty symbolizes the blooming of white flowers that shine on deep green leaves and the fruiting of yellow fruits with a refreshing scent. The bright yellow and fragrant fruits that are distributed from late autumn to winter are impressive. It can be widely used not only for fruit juice but also for the skin, and I am looking forward to the winter solstice day. Because it comes from the pun of hot spring cure. In addition, Yuzu seems to have a wish for “accommodation” to come. Unlike squash, it is in season in winter and has a strong scent, so it is also used in Japan for the purpose of exorcism before inviting luck to avoid evil.
Peach and chestnut seeds take three years to bear fruit, plums take eight, Yuzu (Japanese citron) takes eighteen years; 柚子の大馬鹿十八年 and Japanese plum trees take sixteen years.' It will take eighteen years from planting to fruiting, and the producers will have a considerable sense of futility until they are for sale.
