Seki Castle was built during the period of the Northern and Southern Courts, and is counted as one of the Six Kanto Castles of the Southern Court along with Makabe Castle and Taiho Castle. Tomoyasu, the 4th son of Tomohiro Yuki, the 2nd head of the Yuki clan, built the castle under the name Seki. 1343, Morofuyu Ko of the Northern Court (Unknown-1351: In fact, Moroyuki's son and Moronao's cousin (later Moronao's adopted son (adoptive son without inheritance)). A Japanese manga of the work. Serialized in Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump" from No. 8 in 2021.

The only surviving 8-year-old A young boy, Tokiyuki HOJO, is rescued by Yorishige Suwa, a priest of Shinano province, and hides himself in the Suwa territory...), Takauji goes to war to hunt down the remnants of the Kamakura shogunate that occupied Kamakura, and the real Morofuyu is also his adoptive father. For Morofuyu, the pursuit and killing of the remnants of the Kamakura Shogunate was a memorable first battle, but during the confrontation with the remnants of the Kamakura shogunate, he had some kind of accident, partly because he did not have the qualifications to be a military commander, and was hit by a warhorse. Munesuke SEKI (unknown - 1353) and his son Munemasa, along with Chikafusa Kitabatake and others, besieged the castle, but it fell on November 11, and Munesuke and his son were killed in action.

Currently, the castle ruins are designated as a national historic site, and in addition to earthworks and moats, traces of tunnels can be seen. There is also a Hokyointo pagoda（Memorial pagoda containing Hokyo Indharani (spell)）, which is said to be the grave of Sosuke and his son, and it seems that local people hold a graveyard ceremony on the day of the fall of the castle as the anniversary of his death.

【Major features】
The JA Kita-Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant will be newly established in 2022, and an internal quality inspection device (optical sensor) that can measure sugar content, fruit, browning, etc. will be newly introduced. The pears are sorted and boxed in the sorting room, and the pears are shipped under strict quality control. Although it is one of the best red pear production areas in the prefecture, Ibaraki Prefecture boasts the third largest production of pears in Japan. Chikusei City, which is under the jurisdiction of JA Kita-Tsukuba, is one of the oldest pear-producing areas in Japan, and it is said that Shichirobe Nishimura opened a pear orchard (pears from Sekijo, Makabe County (now Chikusei City) are one of the oldest pear-producing areas in Japan). It has a history of pear cultivation since 1857. Various varieties of red pears are cultivated, from wase varieties to late maturing varieties, taking advantage of the climate, which has a large temperature difference between day and night, abundant water, and fertile soil belonging to the Kanto loam layer. At the newly established JA Kita-Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant, the JA Kita-Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant Subcommittee was established to cultivate and ship pears under a new system. There are 76 members in the subcommittee, and from July to October, seven varieties of Kosui, Hosui, Keisui, Akizuki, Niitaka, Nikkori, and Kanta will be cultivated while relaying. In addition, the JA Kita-Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant, which sorts pears produced by the subcommittee, was newly established and has been in operation since July. In the fruit sorting room, a sorting room is installed to prevent contamination from outside dust and foreign matter such as dust, and fruit sorting and boxing are performed in a clean environment. An internal quality inspection device was introduced for sorting, making it possible to measure even the internal quality that is difficult to determine from the outside. In addition, only pears that meet shipping standards unified by the prefecture and subcommittee are brought in by producers. In order to reduce the burden on the staff who lift thousands of heavy containers of pears a day and improve work efficiency, a hand crane is used to place the pears on rails, and sorting begins indoors. The staff visually checks each one for scratches and abrasions that cannot be detected by machines. Only those that pass the visual inspection pass through the internal quality inspection device and the fruit sorting machine to determine the grade. The internal quality inspection device instantly measures the sugar content, fruit and browning, etc., and the fruit sorting machine measures the size and shape instantly. The sorted pears are sorted into rank-based lanes, and the staff carefully packs them into boxes by hand. After being automatically packed by a packing machine, it is shipped to the Keihin market and lined up at mass retailers nationwide. It takes less than 5 minutes for a series of work from sorting to packing. From 2022, it will be a cardboard box with a new design and will be labeled as "JA Kita Tsukuba Pear Sorting Plant". I've heard that they ship about 4,500 boxes a day at peak times. Chikusei City and Sakuragawa City, which are under the jurisdiction of JA, are one of the leading production areas in Japan. In an average year, planting work begins in late November, and fruit setting is progressing favorably due to the amount of sunshine. In addition, due to the difference in temperature between daytime and nighttime, which is considered to be favorable conditions for growth, the sugar content is high and crispness is sufficient, resulting in a good quality small ball watermelon. The Kodama watermelons that were shipped were harvested by Toshiyuki Nagura (Chairman of the same section) and Kiichiro Nishimura of the JA Kodama Watermelon Section, and they are especially wonderful. The subcommittee has 147 producers in both cities growing about 60 hectares. It is mainly grown in a greenhouse that does not use heating in winter, and mainly ships the variety "Sweet Kids", which is characterized by a high sugar content and a crispness similar to large ball watermelons. Strict grading standards are established, and before shipping, JA staff conduct trial divisions, and only watermelons that meet the conditions such as sugar content, taste, shape, etc. are sold mainly in the Keihin market under the brand name of "Beni no Yuwaku". The watermelon, which is thoroughly sorted and sorted, is highly evaluated by the market and consumers. Every year, during the Kodama watermelon season, many shoppers from inside and outside the prefecture visit JA's farmer's market in search of small ball watermelons. "Small ball watermelon" is smaller than a large ball watermelon, but has a strong sweetness and crispness. It's about the size of a handball and fits right in your home refrigerator. It is a different variety from the large ball because the fruit is packed to the edge of the skin. Within the prefecture, Chikusei City and Sakuragawa City, both of which are under JA Kita-Tsukuba jurisdiction, are the leading production areas in Japan. Shipments begin in March, and producers are busy heading into the peak season in June. According to JA Kita Tsukuba, 147 producers in the two cities will plant about 60 hectares in 2020. Cultivation was done in an agricultural greenhouse, where the temperature was controlled every day. JA Kita-Tsukuba Kyowa Vegetable Collection and Shipping Center and Akeno Vegetable Collection and Shipping Center in Chikusei City have begun shipping small ball watermelons. The city of Chikusei and the city of Sakuragawa, both of which are under the jurisdiction of the JA, are among the leading production areas in Japan. In 2022, planting work began in late November, and although there were some difficulties in cultivation management due to the effects of low temperatures and dryness, maturity was good due to the amount of sunlight. Due to the difference in temperature between daytime and nighttime, which is considered to be favorable conditions for growth, the sugar content is high and crispness is sufficient, resulting in a high-quality Kodama watermelon. The shipped small ball watermelons were harvested by Mr. Koichi Iizumi of JA Kita Tsukuba small ball Watermelon Group. Together, the three of us shipped 296 cases (8 kg per case) to the Keihin market in one day. In the same group, 142 producers in both cities cultivate about 61 hectares. Greenhouse cultivation without heating in winter is the mainstream, and we mainly ship the variety "Sweet Kids Watermelon", which is characterized by high sugar content and crispness similar to large ball watermelons. Before shipment, JA staff will test and divide only the watermelons that meet the conditions such as sugar content, taste, shape, etc. "Beni's Temptation (J-PlatPat, (111) registration number: No. 4524579 (151) Registration date: November 22, 2001 (450) Publication date: December 25, 2001 (441) Publication date: March 8, 2001 (210) Application number: Commercial application 2001-11786 (220) Date: February 14, 2001.

In fiscal 2022, we expect to ship about 370,000 tons and aim for sales of 1.1 billion yen. Shipments peak in early June and continue until mid-July. Around the age of 25, Mr. Iizumi took over the cultivation that his parents had started, using 28 plastic greenhouses (approximately 70 ares) to produce the cultivar Sweet Kids Watermelon. Seedlings were planted in early December 2022 and pollinated by hand from mid-January. If the temperature difference between day and night is large, the sugar content increases. It was cold this year, but there was a lot of sunshine, and it seems that the result is good. According to JA Kita-Tsukuba, shipments will begin in both cities on the 2nd and will reach its peak in June. The retail price is about 6,000 yen per box for 5 to 6 pieces (8 kg). Last year, 143 producers in both cities cultivated a total of about 60 hectares, sold about 370,000 boxes, and total sales reached about 1.04 billion yen. Small ball watermelon is characterized by a high sugar content of 12-13% and a thin skin, and the texture is crunchy and pleasant. Because it is the size of a handball, it is easy to put the whole thing in the refrigerator. The peak shipping season is from late April to June. Ibaraki is one of the leading producers of Kodama watermelons in Japan. A stone monument standing on the JA site says that trial production began in 1957. It was an area where large ball watermelon cultivation was popular, but as a result of seeking crops with a higher unit price in greenhouse cultivation, we ended up with small ball watermelons. By the way, it seems that JA staff say that "Kodama'' is not "small ball'', but is associated with the Shinkansen "Kodama'', which was about to start commercial operation at the time. According to Sweet Kids Watermelon (Hagihara Farm Co., Ltd.), the characteristics are a little strong, but it is excellent in fruiting because female flowers grow well and pollen is well produced even in low temperatures. It has a particularly good taste and a crunchy texture similar to that of a large ball. The flesh is firm with high sugar content, and the flesh is bright red. The pericarp is thin at around 2 mm, but it is hard and has few physiological cracks during cultivation, and can withstand transportation. It seems that the vine keeps after the second fruit, and it has good fruit setting and high yield. Cucumber cultivation at JA Kita Tsukuba began in the mid-1955s. At that time, in order to maintain the soil temperature in a simple steel-frame greenhouse, a stepping floor was made mainly of rice straw and rice bran, and it seems that plants were planted where heat was generated. After that, from around 1968, warmed cultivation and grafting cultivation in greenhouses were introduced, and it seems that the area was expanded by improving cultivation techniques. Currently, we are shipping all year round mainly for forcing cultivation and restraint cultivation, but we hear that the most shipments are from March to May. On the cultivation side, with the aim of creating healthy soil, organic matter such as compost is added, and soil diagnosis is carried out on all fields before planting. It seems that there is In terms of cultivation management, we have introduced a hydroponic cultivation system. This system does not require special soil or facilities, and automatically performs irrigation and fertilization 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 there is no need to add fertilizers or soil conditioners when planting, so it seems that labor is reduced. In addition, since the crops absorb water and fertilizer efficiently, they are less likely to be stressed, which can be expected to increase yields and improve quality for producers. In terms of pest control, measures are taken to prevent the invasion of pests from outside the greenhouse, and natural enemy materials such as Amblyseius swirskii are released to reduce the number of times pesticides are used so as not to increase the density of pests. Apparently. In addition, all producers have been certified as environmentally friendly farmers by Ibaraki Prefecture, and it seems that they are working on environmentally friendly agriculture for the eternity of the future. According to history, it is said that Fujiwara no HIDESATO built Isa Castle in 938-947 due to the turbulence of Taira no MASAKADO. 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. During the Eikyo turbulence that occurred in 1437, he was given to the Kanto Koga kubo Mochiuji ASHIKAGA together with his master, Mr. Yuki, and was defeated by the Shogunate army. Protected him until the end and killed him at Yuki Castle.）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 of rice (later about 50,000 koku) under the HIDEYOSHI administration and established the Shimodate domain. After that, Kiyokata UESUGI in the Kanto region searched for Tokiuji-Ko's orphan in order to revive Mizunoya, and it is said that Katsuuji 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（曹洞宗; 岡芹町）" after the opening of the mountain and Katsuuji（定林寺殿玉叟了圓大居士）. 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 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 became the feudal lord with 20,000 koku of rice 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, 旧真壁郡; 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 Pear” and “Hosui Pear” and the large “Niitaka Pear”, which are in season from summer to autumn. Recently, it is also focusing on the production of “Akizuki Pear” and “Keisui Pear; 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.

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. In June 2022, Nippon Electrolytic Co., Ltd. (a manufacturer specializing in electrolytic copper foil, whose main business is the development, manufacture and sale of electrolytic copper foil for in-vehicle batteries and copper foil for circuit boards such as 5G, was founded in 1958. Since then, it has manufactured electrolytic copper foil for printed circuit boards and seems to have grown along with the development of the electronics industry. The company's electrolytic copper foil has excellent quality due to its unique electrolytic technology and surface treatment technology, and its performance is high. It has won high praise in the industry. For example, high-density mounting technology that realizes miniaturization and high performance of mobile devices such as smartphones, and for electric vehicles (EV), hybrid vehicles (HEV) and stationary vehicles. Lithium-ion secondary batteries that contribute to higher performance of electricity storage. These are supported by electrolytic copper foil that meets various needs. This is the copper layer of the copper-clad laminate that forms the conductor pattern of the printed circuit board. The thin copper sheet used in the circuit board, which is manufactured using the principle of "electroplating"), seems to double the sales of high-end products of electrolytic copper foil for circuits within a few years. Strengthen sales outside Japan by leveraging the customer base of Denkai America, a US subsidiary, with domestic surface treatment capacity. At the head office factory (Chikusei City, Ibaraki Prefecture) of the production base, surface treatment equipment for high-end products will be strengthened. It plans to develop high-end markets such as the 5th generation communication standard (5G) and high-density wiring board (HDI) markets, which are growth fields, and raise profitability. On June 2, 2020, the JA Kita-Tsukuba small ball watermelon subcommittee distributed 10 cases (about 50 cases) of the specialty small ball watermelon "Sweet Kids" to medical staff at the Sakuragawa Regional Medical Center in Takamori, Sakuragawa City.
The JA Kita-Tsukuba small ball watermelon section is working together to strengthen the brand by stabilizing production volume and improving quality. In March 2019, in recognition of his efforts and achievements so far, he was awarded a special prize in the 48th Japan Agricultural Prize for Group Organization. In addition, the 24th summer term was established as "small ball watermelon day", and on February 13, 2017, it was officially recorded by the Japan Anniversary Association. The small ball watermelons cultivated in the jurisdiction are tested by JA staff before shipment and tested for taste and sugar content in each field. Allowed to be shipped. Boasting a history of more than 50 years as a production area, it is now one of the leading production areas in Japan, thanks to the fact that the temperature difference between night and day is suitable for echo watermelon cultivation.
The JA Kita-Tsukuba small ball watermelon section won a special prize in the 48th Japan Agricultural Award for Group Organization in recognition of its contribution to the development of the local community through efforts to improve farm management and technology. The subcommittee is working together to promote stable production of Kodama watermelon and to strengthen the brand. The JA, which faces Mt. Tsukuba to the southeast and is located almost in the center of the Kanto Plain, is a vast rural area that spans the three cities of Chikusei, Sakuragawa, and Yuki in Ibaraki Prefecture, and an abundant amount of water due to the first-class river that flows through the jurisdiction. Proud of It also seems to be a region that is actively working on changing agricultural policies to support the bearers of agriculture.
By setting up a production technology committee within the subcommittee, repeating tests, and sharing information on successful cases, it seems that the quality of the subcommittee as a whole is improving. Regarding the cultivation of new varieties with successful examples, the entire subcommittee worked together to strengthen the production area brand. Every year around the end of December, the soil temperature in the greenhouse is measured, and when the soil temperature exceeds 17 degrees, the Kodama watermelon is planted. The subcommittee promotes non-heated cultivation and believes that the sweetness can be enhanced by using the natural temperature difference, so we pay close attention to the outside air, the room temperature inside the greenhouse, and the soil temperature.
