Jugoro Okubo was born in 1867 on a farm in Kama Murayama, Iwanashi District (now Shiona, Seto Town, Higashi Ward, Okayama City). When he was young, he received instruction in orchard gardening from Masuta Koyama, who lived in the same village. Later, Old Man was invited to the Ohara Agricultural Research Institute and took charge of horticulture, devising a sprayer, pruning shears, and grape thinning shears to develop orchard gardening. In 2004, he created a new variety, "Okubo peach''. Were promoted through the Okayama Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station, which laid the foundation for Okayama Prefecture to gain fame as a peach production area. A monument honoring Jugoro has been erected by local volunteers at Oldman's birthplace. In 1932, Chuichi Nishioka of Haga, Okayama announced 'Shimizu White Peach' in memory of his achievements. Shimizu white peaches, which are characterized by a particularly soft texture, are still known today as synonymous with high-quality white peaches. During the war, the cultivation of fruit trees was in dire straits, but after the war, thanks to the enthusiasm and efforts of growers, white peach cultivation recovered rapidly, and along with Muscat and Pione, Okayama established itself as the fruit kingdom of Okayama. To grow peaches of good quality, the peaches are thinned out and bagged when they reach a certain size. The advanced techniques cultivated by the great pioneers and the effortless attitude continue to produce white peaches in Okayama with a focus on taste, texture, and beauty of appearance.

【Major features】
Okayama's white peach with a beautiful milky white skin was born in the Meiji period. In 1875, Shanghai Suimitsu（white peach）and Tenjin Suimitsu（white peach）were introduced from China to Japan, and these varieties were first cultivated in Okayama Prefecture. After that, both the cultivation area and the production volume expanded, and enthusiastic growers began to compete to discover and develop new varieties. Masuta Koyama (1861-1924), known as the "Father of Fruit Growing'' in Okayama Prefecture, was born into a wealthy farmer's family in what is now Kumayama Town (Akaiwa City), Okayama Prefecture. He grew peaches, grapes, and pears in his vast orchard, and self-taught himself the techniques of crossbreeding, pruning, and pest control. He is also enthusiastic about teaching younger generations, and I hear that Jugoro Okubo, the founder of "Hakuto'', was also a student of Koyama. Shimizu White Peach is 1,932 yen and is an excellent white peach variety discovered by Chuichi Nishioka (Gr. Naka). A monument to the "Birthplace of Shimizu Hakuto'' stands beside a pond called "Shinike'' in Sayama, Kita Ward, Okayama City. A pioneer in fruit cultivation since the Meiji period, he improved the method of bagging fruit trees, tried Bordeaux liquid and other disinfectants, and invented an insecticide. Magosaburo Ohara (1880-1943: Born in Kurashiki City, Japan. A Japanese businessman and social entrepreneur. He served as president of Kurashiki Spinning, Kurashiki Wool, Kurashiki Silk, Chugoku Joint Bank, and China Hydro Electric Company. Ohara Financial Clique) invited Old Man to lead the horticulture department in 1914 when the Ohara Agricultural Research Institute was founded. For about 10 years (1914-1924), he worked as a researcher in the horticulture department, reclaimed Mt. Nada. I am passionate about giving technical guidance to people in the field. In 1924, Mr. Koyama passed away in the Mt. Nada garden, and the gardening club, which had achieved many achievements, was abolished due to the circumstances of the research institute. However, to commemorate Oldman's achievements, in his name he took the name of a certain Rakusan, and Magosaburo renamed the orchard Rakusan inside the kindergarten. In addition, a memorial was erected on November 1, 1935 by the Ohara family halfway up Taoyuan in Rakusan inside the kindergarten to permanently honor Oldman's achievements. The foundation stones were natural stones, and the surrounding oddly shaped rocks and ornamental trees were brought in at great expense. The monument is 272.727 cm (approximately 2.7 m) high, 60.606 cm (approximately 0.6 m) wide and 56.9 cm (approximately 0.45 m) wide. Also, when the monument was established, in memory of Mr. Koyama, Mantaro Kondo, director of the Ohara Agricultural Research Institute (1883-1946: was born as the third son of Jinzo Kondo in Toyo Village, Oku District, Okayama Prefecture (currently Saidaiji, Okayama City). Okayama Prefecture. During his junior high school days, he traveled 11.782 km from his home in Saidaiji to go to school for five years. After studying at the Sixth High School and the Tokyo Imperial University Agricultural College, he majored in seed science at the Graduate School of Tokyo Imperial University. In 1910, he went to Germany to study. Completed a thesis on cultivar appraisal at the Hohen Agricultural University, returned to Kurashiki in January 1914, and in July became a councilor of the Ohara Scholarship Association and the first director of the Agricultural Research Institute. He passed away in 1946. For 32 years, as director, he worked to nurture and manage the institute after its establishment, nurtured many researchers, and published more than 450 publications. In particular, his knowledge of seed science is extremely valuable. In 1922, he was awarded the red and white ribbon by the Great Japan Agricultural Association. In 1927, he was awarded the Agricultural Science Prize (currently the Japan Prize for Agricultural Science) from the Agricultural Society, and gave a lecture before the Emperor in November 1930. Later, in September 1945, he was recommended as a member of the Academy.) Dr. Koyama became the editor and publisher, and two posthumous manuscripts by Mr. Koyama, the Old man Rakusan posthumous manuscript, have been published. Peach has already been cultivated in Yamanashi for about 200 years. Although it is easily affected by the weather, many new varieties have been developed in various parts of the prefecture, including Hikawa Hakuho and Kanoiwa Hakuto. There is a gentle slope, and the conditions for drainage, soil, and mechanisms are optimal for the production of thighs. The village of Shimokuribara is located in the northeastern part of the Kofu Basin. It is a flat land sandwiched between the Nikawa and Omo Rivers tributaries of the Fuefuki River. To the west is Utada Village (Utada, Yamanashi City), and to the south is Yatsushiro District across the Nikawa River. Adjacent to Ogi Village (now Ogi, Ichinomiya Town, Fuefuki City). The "Koshu-dō Chubun-en-ezu" depicts the inn as a key transportation hub for the Chichibu-kokan, which runs north along the Fuefuki River, and the Ome-kokan, which branches off from the Chichibu-kokan at Obara Nishibun Village. It is about 127 kilometers from Edo), about 3.4 kilometers from Katsunuma inn in the east, and about 6.1 kilometers from Isawa inn in the west (1843 "Shukumura Taishocho"). The road going back and forth through the village is 1,331.82 m, but the townscape of Shukunai is about 654.6 m. The date of its establishment is unknown, but it is believed that it was built in 1618, when Katsunuma inn and others became new post stations. According to the 'Shukumura Daisocho', it seems that Utata Village and Ogi Village were designated as Kajuku. In 1843, there were 240 houses and 1,057 people in Shuku, including the Utada and Ogi villages of Kajuku. 1 honjin, 1 side honjin, and 1 Jinba-Kigitsu wholesaler. 1 wholesaler, 4 old people, 1 horse finger. During normal times, the wholesaler, the old man, and the horse finger were packed, and when there was a large traffic, all of them dealt with it. There are 25 horses and 25 horses inn, including 5 horses and 5 horses. In the middle of the inn, there is a honjin and a side honjin. According to the handover list in 1705, it seems that eight villages, namely, Kamiishimori, Nakamura, Utada, Shimoishimori, Ogi, Hokutozuka, Minamitanaka, and Shimoyahagi, were assigned to Sukego（The increase in the burden of responsibility in the late Edo period was the biggest decisive factor in the bankruptcy of the village finances. This was aggravated by other tribute and tax burdens, which put a considerable pressure on farmers' lives and accelerated the disaggregation of classes.）. In 1818, Jippensha Ichiku's "Golden Grass Shoes" featured a tea house in the Kuribara inn, and in 1827's "Shokudochu Merchant's Book," four inns were introduced. The Hikawa district is located in the southeastern part of Yamanashi City, and is sandwiched between the Nikkawa river flowing in the south and the Omo river flowing in the north. is the earth. In the old days, during the Tokugawa period, Tayasu cantonment was located in the Tanaka district, and the Koshu Highway (now National Route 411) ran through the south, making it an important political and cultural point. Although it was blessed with clear streams and abundant water, it had a long history of fighting floods, and the residents of the area at that time suffered heavy blows many times, but they gradually recovered due to their indomitable spirit and tireless efforts. And we have built up today's prosperity by switching the agricultural form of fruit tree cultivation ahead of the times. Today, the number of elderly people who can tell the history of flood damage has decreased remarkably, and the history of flood damage is about to be closed as the revetment construction is improved. Currently, the cultivation of peaches and grapes is actively carried out as a fruit-growing area in Kyoutung, but in the past, rivers overflowed due to heavy rains, causing flood damage. Especially in 1907, the levee of the Nikkawa and Omo Rivers burst, causing a flood that changed the currents of the Fuefuki River, and I heard that many people suffered great damage. The Kusakabe Police Station presented JA Fruits Yamanashi with flags and security sensors to prevent theft of popular fruit. At the presentation ceremony held on July 20, 2023, Kazuhiro Kato, chief of the Kusakabe Police Station, presented three presidents of the Fruit Yamanashi Agricultural Cooperative with a banner and a security sensor. JA Fruit Yamanashi received 100 banners, 1,000 laminated crime prevention signs, and 200 security lights that activate red lights and alarm sounds with sensors. In 2022, there was a peach theft by a foreigner in the prefecture, so the flag and security display are designed to indicate that security cameras are in operation in pictograms and English. The Kusakabe Police Station will strengthen patrols and install security cameras, and take thorough measures to prevent fruit theft. The total project cost is about 3.1 billion yen, which was deliberated by the prefectural assembly in June 2022. While prices and crude oil prices continue to rise, Yamanashi Prefecture provides benefits to poor households and expands consumption to support livestock farmers. It has announced that it will make efforts to achieve this. It seems that the benefits are for households that are exempt from residence tax, and exclude households that receive special benefits for child-rearing households. It is provided through municipalities, and the prefecture seems to be subsidizing 15,000 japanese yen per household. In addition, as support for restaurants, we will reprint 90,000 premium meal tickets, and as support for livestock farmers affected by soaring feed costs, we will promote efforts to expand consumption, such as providing prefectural meat for school lunches. It seems that JA Fuefuki, a special production area, is considering installing hundreds of security cameras in response to the fact that a large amount of peaches are stolen in Yamanashi prefecture, which has the highest yield and production in Japan. Hundreds of security cameras and mass theft of peaches are being considered by a local JA. , Greenhouse), about 14,400 pieces have been stolen, and the damage amount has exceeded 3.8 million yen. Due to a series of damages, the JA seems to be trying to match places that are difficult for people to see. In addition, it seems that they are considering asking a security company to strengthen night patrols and install lights with motion sensors. “Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture”, Located slightly east of the central part of the Kofu basin. Collecting water systems flowing from the mountainous hills in the north, east and south of the basin: The Fuefuki River flows southwest through the central part of the basin. 日川, 金川, 浅川, 境川 etc. The alluvial fan and the alluvial plain at the bottom of the basin spread out.In addition, agricultural land mainly composed of fruit trees is distributed from the foot of the mountain to the flat land. Behind it is misaka mountains, there are villages scattered along the Ashigawa River, which flows from east to west in the mountains. In this way, centering on the flat land that extends along the Fuefuki River: Area with relatively cohesive terrain sandwiched between north and south hills and mountains range. The soil is fertile and well drained: Excellent for fruit tree cultivation due to long hours of daylight and large temperature difference between day and night. Ministry of agriculture, forestry and fisheries Fruit tree production shipping statistics: Cultivation area, yield and shipment of peach / grape every year-All are the best among the cities, towns and villages in Japan. Honoring the feats of our predecessors who have led the historic cultivation of fruit trees in Japan: We pledge to protect and further develop the wonderful fruit villages that we can be proud of throughout the country. Peach and Grape, declaration of Japan's No. 1 Township in October 2005.

History: People started living at the foot of the mountain in the Paleolithic era about 27,000 years ago. In the Yayoi period, when rice farming began, villages were set up in lowlands and the development of the bottom of the basin began. Construction of burial mounds began in the city area in the middle of the 4th century. The existence of Kannduka, which boasts a huge horizontal hole type stone chamber, indicates the rise of political power with great economic power. At the end of the Heian period, Nobuyoshi Takeda led Kai Genji and solidified Kai's rule. His sons Tadayori Ichijyo and Kanenobu Itagaki set up a mansion in the city area. He also participated in the raising of Minamoto no Yoritomo and contributed to the establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate. It was Nobutura that laid the foundation for Mr. Takeda to fly as a warring lord. Nobutora, who took over the role of guardian of Kai at the age of 14, overwhelmed the rebellious influential landlord. Built a residence in Tsutsujigasaki（Currently, Takeda Shrine is enshrined in the castle.）and started construction of a castle town. I hear that is the beginning of Kai's Fuchu "Kofu". With the expansion of power, Kofu has developed into one of the largest castle towns in the eastern country. Shingen: Construction of a large river embankment to protect the kofu basin from flood disasters. Creation of a monetary system using koshu money. Enactment of law for territorial governance: laws established by daimyo applicable only in their own domain (during the Warring States period); Koshu Hatto no Shidai (the Laws of the Province of Kai) of the Takeda clan laid down that 'both parties to a quarrel leading to violence were to be executed regardless of their reasons; however, those who were involved in quarrels, but who kept their patience were not to be punished.' In Koshu Hatto no Shidai (the Laws of the Province of Kai), it was defined that Yoriko would bring a suit to Yorioya regardless of its content. The castle town was expanded by relocating Shinano Zenkoji Temple to Kofu to enrich Kai Province. I hear that the castle town of Kofu prospered most throughout the early modern period during the time of Mr. Yanagisawa. It was limited to daimyo feudal lord in hereditary vassalage to the Tokugawa house, but Yoshiyasu, an aide to General Tsunayoshi, accepted Kai. The maintenance of the castle town was promoted for two generations of father and son. After that, it became the direct control of the Shogunate, and Kofu Castle was under the control of the duty, and the end of the Tokugawa shogunate was reached. The city system was enforced in 1889. It is the 34th in Japan and second only to Yokohama, Mito and Tokyo in the Kanto region. Kofu air raid in July 1945 scorched 74% of the city area. The remnants of the good old days of Kofu have been lost. However, immediately after the end of the war, the war damage reconstruction station（War Damage Reconstruction Board: War-damaged area reconstruction plan basic policy; Cabinet decision on December 30th.）was set up, and the citizens came together to stand up for the reconstruction of their hometown with a high hammer; War Damage Reconstruction Institute. What about Japan today? “Chuo City”, Located in the south central part of the prefecture. The east is adjacent to Kofu City across the Kamata River.

Depending on the shape, it can be divided into various varieties such as round eggplant, small round eggplant, egg eggplant, medium-length eggplant, long eggplant, large-length eggplant, and american eggplant. As for the color, purple (black), white, yellow, green, etc. can be confirmed. The local varieties of traditional vegetables that are still produced are branded, continue to maintain the traditions of the past, and are cultivated with love even in small quantities. At TAKII & CO., LTD., Improvements were made with the aim of producing varieties with stronger grass than “Senryo eggplant”, which does not rest in the summer. Released in 1964, “Senryo No. 2 eggplant” aims to be an eight-headed beauty eggplant, and has stronger grass and better stamina than “Senryo eggplant” (sold in 1961). With the advent of “Senryo No. 2 eggplant”, long-term cultivation starting from small tunnels can be used properly as “Senryo eggplant” for forcing cultivation for greenhouses and large tunnels. It has spread to areas that prefer to eat, and has become the center of production in Kansai, Chubu, Kanto, Hokuriku, Tohoku, and Hokkaido.“Senryo No. 2 eggplant” was and still is “F1” (a seed called Filial 1 hybrid: which has been crossed for one generation and is also called a F1 hybrid or hybrid), and has epoch-making high quality. The fruit skin is soft and has excellent marketability, and the fruit color is dark purple with a particularly good luster, and the fruit alignment is also good. “Senryo eggplant” was awarded the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Forestry Award in 1964, “Senryo No. 2 eggplant was awarded the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Forestry Award in 1969, and “No. 2” was awarded the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award in 1980. Even today, it is widely cultivated and loved in production areas all over the country. It grows well, and the optimum temperature for germination is preferably 20 ° C to 30 ° C and the optimum temperature for growth is 15 ° C to 30 ° C. Continuous cropping of eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, capsicums, potatoes, etc. should be avoided. Since it is a vegetable of the Solanaceae family, it is recommended to choose a place that has not been cultivated for 4 to 5 years, or use grafted seedlings. In order to enjoy the growth for a long period of time, it is necessary to apply a large amount of compost and apply appropriate additional fertilizer so as not to run out of fertilizer. The important thing is to plant in a sunny and well-drained place. Since we prefer high temperatures, we recommend planting in the fields after the temperature has risen sufficiently and there is no need to worry about late frost. Takii & Co., Ltd. and NARO have elucidated the mechanism by which the phenomenon of parthenocarpy, in which fruits grow without pollination, occurs in eggplants. A patent was filed in 2015, registered in 2017, and the results were published in the scientific journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” published on June 9, 2020, about a year ago. It was. Takii & Co., Ltd. and the Agricultural Research Institute have elucidated the mechanism by which the phenomenon of parthenocarpy of fruit enlargement without pollination occurs in eggplants, and applied for a patent in 2015 and registered in 2017. Patent: No. 6191996. In the pad-1（It encodes a 394 amino acid protein consisting of 9 exons, and the pad-1 mutant lacks approximately 4558 bp from the 4th intron to 8 bases upstream of the transcription termination point）mutant showing parthenocarpy, it was revealed that the fruit enlarges due to the loss of the function of the enzyme that suppresses the accumulation of auxin involved in cell division and hypertrophy (auxin accumulation). The results seem to be useful for the cultivation of parthenocarpy varieties that do not require fruit set accelerator treatment and produce fruits stably even at high temperatures. The research groups of both companies analyzed the pad-1 mutant showing parthenocarpy and clarified the mechanism by which parthenocarpy occurs. Normally, in eggplants that do not result in parthenocarpy, until pollination, the ovule (the part at the base of the pistil of the angiosperm, the part called the ovule inside, becomes a seed when fertilization is performed after pollination, and the eggplant In the case of tomatoes and tomatoes, the ovules are enlarged and become fruits.) The amount of auxin, which is a plant hormone in the plant hormone, is kept low, but it increases after pollination, and the action causes the fruits to enlarge. In the pad-1 mutant, it is a general term for a group of plant hormones that promote the elongation and growth of plant cells in auxin in the ovary before pollination.The most important naturally occurring auxin is indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). In addition, naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), etc. can be confirmed as synthetic auxins. In tomatoes and eggplants, the synthetic auxin parachlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) is used as a fruit set promoter. In addition, the function of the enzyme that suppresses the increase was lost, and high concentrations of auxin accumulated in the non-pollinated state, resulting in clear fruit enlargement. In the cultivation of solanaceous fruit vegetables such as eggplants and tomatoes, pollination and fruit enlargement are hindered in the summer when the temperature is high and in the winter when the sunshine tends to be insufficient, and the yield decreases. In order to prevent this, a fruit set accelerator is used at the time of cultivation, but it is a problem and a problem that a large amount of labor is required for the work for the treatment. On the other hand, the parthenocarpy (in plants, pollen is attached to the pistil (this is called pollination) and seeds are normally formed through fertilization), which causes the fruit to grow larger without pollination on the plant. It is a general condition for fruit enlargement. On the other hand, there are varieties and lines that have the property of normal fruit enlargement and maturation even when pollination is hindered by some factor and seeds are not formed, and this property is called parthenocarpy. In facility vegetable cultivation, fruit set promotion work such as hormone treatment and release of insects that help pollination of bumblebees is necessary for stable production, but this is not necessary for varieties with parthenocarpy, so labor saving is stable. There are some properties that are very useful for production, and their use is very useful for labor saving and production stabilization. Although some fruits and vegetables showing parthenocarpy have been found so far, the mechanism is not well understood, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult to grow parthenocarpy varieties, which is an issue for researchers and companies. I guess it was. Using the results of this research, Takii & Co., Ltd. has cultivated a parthenocarpy eggplant variety “PC Chikuyo eggplant”. This variety shows the same yield as a normal variety without using a fruit set accelerator, which leads to labor saving and stabilization of production, and therefore its spread is accelerating at present. There is concern that the rapid progress of global warming in recent years may adversely affect fruit production, and it is expected that expanding the use of parthenocarpy varieties will be an effective way to avoid this. We must be grateful and grateful to the people involved. In Japan, which I love, the decline and aging of farmers and the devastation and decline of agricultural land are major issues. The same situation is progressing in various places in Yamanashi prefecture. Under these circumstances, in order to protect agriculture and rural landscapes and realize sustainable and powerful agriculture in the future, it seems that it is an urgent task to secure a leader in the region. On the other hand, it seems that women are now being seen in various places as new leaders in agriculture. Even in Yamanashi Prefecture, a group of female farmers who make use of the unique perspective of women and widely convey the appeal of Yamanashi agriculture to society are active, and many individual female farmers protect local agriculture and farmland and revitalize the area. Seems to be working hard towards.
Okubo Jugoro (1867-1941) was born in what is now Seto Town, Okayama Prefecture. Old man, who was passionate about growing peaches, discovered in 1899, and in 1901 created a new variety called "white peach", which is said to be based on Shanghai Suimitsu（white peach）. Its strong sweetness and sticky texture attracted attention as the best mizumitsu peach, and its cultivation spread. Most of the peaches that are currently the main variety in Japan's production areas are said to have their roots in white peaches.
The Nikkawa River flows through the center of Katsunuma with Daibosatsu Pass as its source, and is a steep river that joins the Fuefuki River. Heavy rains fell in 1907 and 1910, causing great damage throughout the Kyoto region, including Katsunuma. Construction of the Nikkawa sluice system began in 1911 and was completed in 1915, triggered by this flood. It seems that the purpose of 'water control' is to change the direction of water flow and weaken the force in order to protect the river bank and embankment from the erosion of water flowing in the river. In order to keep the flow of water constant, the dikes were constructed at right angles to the flow, and 74 dikes made of natural stone were buried in a 3 km stretch. It looks like a "T" when viewed from above. After the war, a concrete embankment was built, so you can't see the original appearance, but if you walk along the river, you can see part of the water system. It seems that part of the water system that looks like it was laid can be seen. It is said that the paddy fields on the terraces were washed away by flood damage, and then grapes, which were promising as commercial crops, were planted. After the completion of the irrigation work, the large-scale disaster in Nikkawa subsided, and the area around Nikkawa became active in grape cultivation, taking advantage of the well-drained gravel land. In 2008, the Hikawa Water System was certified as a Kanto Civil Engineering Heritage.
Peach is said to have originated in China, and in Japan, peach seeds have been found in ruins from the Yayoi period, and it is also mentioned in the Kojiki and Nihonshoki, which are listed. In China, there is a legend that a hermit who ate the peach became immortal, so it is also called ``Senju,'' and the flowers, leaves, and branches are also believed to have the effect of warding off evil spirits. In Japan, it is said to make demons afraid, and there is a theory that this is connected to the folk tale "Momotaro". In the old days, it was mainly cultivated for ornamental purposes, and it was after the Meiji era that it began to spread as food. In 1899, Mr. Jugoro Okubo of Okayama Prefecture discovered the white peach, which is said to be the "originator of Japanese peach". Thanks to their achievements, various breeds have been created, and their names are known all over the world.
