Kanji is a Japanese culture and is the basis of intellectual learning. It seems that Ashikita Town uses the Kanji test as a means of embodying its educational philosophy. In order to firmly establish Kanji skills and foster learning motivation, from 2013, all junior high school students in the town will be newly paid the test of kanji skills 5th class or abovegrade or higher examination fee up to once a year at public expense. Introduced the system. The learning method varies from school to school, but students voluntarily study Chinese characters during the morning hours and after school. After introducing the examination fee subsidy system and actively encouraging students to take the examination, almost all junior high school students in the town took the examination in the first year of the introduction. It seems that the purpose is not to get a grade, but I hear that passing the exam increases motivation for learning. Educators want to continue their efforts and improve their Kanji skills and, by extension, their Japanese proficiency by providing opportunities for students who are not good at kanji or who are not interested in kanji. It seems that the chief executive is thinking. In the future, I hope that the circle of Kanji certification will spread not only to students but also to the general public.
In the persimmon, a streak called a streak (from the apex to the equator, innumerable linear or spider web-like cracks occur, some of which turn blackish brown and become wavy) is formed on the pericarp. There are varieties. Varieties such as “Fuyu”, “Hiratanenashi”, and “Jiro” do not have stripes, but the new variety “Taishu” seems to be prone to stripes. It is a large fruit and has a very good taste, so it is expected to spread, but the striped pattern may be confused with a dirty fruit and evaluated as a fruit with a poor appearance. The NARO Fruit Tree Experiment Station Persimmon / Grape Branch Breeding Laboratory seems to have discovered that the sugar content of fruits with stripes is high in the process of breeding research so far. Therefore, it seems that selecting strains that produce stripes may be a strategy for cultivating high-sugar varieties. 【Product name】 Ashikita Taishu Persimmon 【Type】 Diospyros kaki 'Taishu' 【Producing area / Wholesale land】 Ashikita Town, ...
