When I thought that the cool, revitalizing wind would downwash from Nagamine（A place where peaks with flat peaks continue for a long time）and stroke my sweaty face, the voice of japanese cicada would be heard as if listening to the rain of golden bells.

In Japan there were two examples of Shosei which were, Prince Naka no Oe (Emperor Jomei and Empress Saimei's Prince, later called Emperor Tenchi or Tenji ; 626-671 CE, reigning: 668-671 CE) and Emperor Jito (Emperor Tenchi's Princess, Emperor Tenmu's Empress and later called Emperor Jito), however there are some opinions that the three examples of Empress Jingu and Iitoyo no Himemiko (Princess Iitoyo) and Ahe no Himemiko (Princess Ahe) were considered as Shosei. Although the blood line of the Emperor Tenmu completely vanished from the Imperial line, a descendant of Imperial Prince Toneri was given the family name of KIYOHARA no Mahito and became the patriarch of the Kiyohara clan, and a descendant of Prince Takechi was given the family name of Takashina no MAHITO and became the patriarch of the Takashina clan; they both prospered for a long time. “Hamamatsu Blueberry”, From production to wholesale land - “Miyakoda Town, Kita Ward, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.” The nationwide demand for mandarin oranges has increased since the 1955's.
