It is a word that expresses a noble and elegant taste, or that state of being. It also means having culture and refinement in poetry, calligraphy, painting, and the tea ceremony, and the understanding of these things. In the Shomon school (disciples of Basho MATSUO), it can refer to haiku itself, or the essence of the beauty of haiku. It can also be seen as beauty that is in harmony with nature and culture, or beauty that is in harmony with the surrounding environment. On the other hand, "elegance" is a refined beauty that is expressed from within an individual. It is similar to "fūryū," but while "elegance" expresses sensitivity to and appreciation of nature and art, "fūga" emphasizes refined elegance and beauty, especially dignity and grace. "Elegance" also includes a sense of playfulness, while "fūga" gives a more formal impression.
Furyu means being detached from the world and being refined, while at the same time being beautifully decorated with the utmost care. Fuga means being elegant and tasteful, and having a taste for the arts such as poetry, calligraphy, and the green ceremony.
Am I the only one who, when I come into contact with someone who exudes elegance, can't help but be captivated by their calm demeanor and mannerisms?

Asama Hakuto Peach is located in Ichinomiya Town（Former Higashi Yatsushiro District (currently Fuefuki City)）, and was named after Ichinomiya Asama Shrine（Known as the attached table shrine of the Association of Shinto Shrines.）in 1974.
【Main features】
When the six towns and villages (Isawa Town, Misaka Town, Ichinomiya Town, Yatsushiro Town, Sakaigawa Village, Kasugai Town) merged on October 12, 2004, the name of the new city was solicited. It was narrowed down to two points, “Kyoto City”, and as a result of the final vote, it was decided to be Fuefuki City. Just as the water flowing through the six merged towns and villages gathers in the Fuefuki River, a number of streams became a big flow triggered by the merger, and the name was raised to become the center of Yamanashi, and it became a big swell and the ocean. It is a name with a wish to make a leap forward (nationwide), and as the name suggests, it is widely known. In addition, on August 1, 2006, it was merged with Ashigawa Village and became the current city of Fuefuki. The city's soil is fertile and well-drained, with long daylight hours and a large temperature difference between day and night, making it an excellent location for fruit tree cultivation. According to the fruit tree production and shipment statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, it is confirmed that the cultivated area, yield and shipment amount of peaches and grapes are all the highest among the municipalities in Japan. In praise of the achievements of the ancestors who have led the cultivation of historic Japanese fruit trees, we pledged to protect and further develop the wonderful fruit villages that we can be proud of throughout the country. On April 10, 2014, he declared “Japan's No. 1 Taoyuan Township”. In addition, the city has many diverse and valuable historical and cultural resources. The artifacts excavated from the Shakado and Ichinosawa sites during the Jomon period have been designated as important cultural properties, and valuable remains such as the front and rear burial mounds and stone mounds of the Kofun period remain. In the subsequent eras, Teramoto Abandoned Temple, the oldest temple in Yamanashi Prefecture during the Hakuho period, Kai Kokubunji Temple and Nanji Temple during the Nara period, and Isawa no Mikuri, the only Mikuriya（Kitchen: Jinryō, a manor of an ancient and medieval shrine）in Kai Province, were built. The city has been the center of Kai Province for about a thousand years from the establishment of ancient Kai to the relocation of Takeda's building to Kofu in 1519, and it was truly the “City of Kai Province Millennium.” Isawa hot spring Village and Kasugai hot spring Village, which are one of the best hot spring villages in Japan, welcome many tourists throughout the four seasons as tourist accommodation bases in Yamanashi Prefecture, and the city's public hot spring facilities and footbath facilities that utilize the blessed hot spring resources are It is crowded as a place of healing and charm for many people including citizens. It seems that we will continue to nurture “hospitality hot spring village” through the scenery and festivals that color the seasons. Located slightly east of the central part of the Kofu basin, this area collects water systems flowing from the mountainous hills in the northern, eastern, and southern parts of the basin, and the Fuefuki River flows southwest through the central part of the basin. Alluvial fans such as Hikawa, Kanagawa, Asakawa, and Sakaigawa and alluvial plains at the bottom of the basin spread, and agricultural land mainly composed of fruit trees is distributed from the foot of the mountain to the flat land. Behind it is the Misaka Mountains, and there are villages scattered along the Ashi River that flows from east to west in the mountains. In this way, this area is famous as an area with a relatively cohesive terrain sandwiched between north-south hills and mountainous areas, centered on the flat land that extends along the Fuefuki River. The area is 201.92 square kilometers. It is the “Japan's number one peach producing area” where 23,000 tons of peaches are harvested annually, and many peach trees are planted in the city, and they bloom all at once in the spring. The appearance is as beautiful as a pink jutan, so it is popular with many spectators from inside and outside the prefecture. A tree suitable for the symbol of Fuefuki City, which aims to become a vibrant exchange city. Kasugai Town is said to have the oldest capital in Kai Province. 山梨岡神社（式内論社）: SHIZUME : The deities are Oyamazumi, Takaokami no kami, and Betsuraijin, one of the 20 government offices in Kai Province listed in the “Enki-shiki Shinmeicho” during the Heian period.

In 1948, Masayuki Nakashima and Gison Shiota discovered the remains of a Kawada tile kiln that burned the tiles of the abandoned Teramoto temple. In 1950, Buddhist archaeological authority Mosaku Ishida first excavated the cornerstone of the tower and its surroundings. After that, excavation surveys were conducted three times from 1981, and as a result, it was confirmed that the abandoned temple of Teramoto is a temple with a Hokiji style cathedral arrangement with a temple area of 130 m square. In addition, characteristic relics such as roof tiles, ink-painted pottery, statues of Buddha statues, and screw hair were discovered during the investigation. It is believed that it was built in the Hakuho period in the latter half of the 7th century from the tile pattern used.

The originator of Japanese peaches is “white peach” in Okayama prefecture, and it is said that “Asama white peach” was born by improving this white peach. As a sport of “KOYO HAKUTO（A peach found in a white peach sapling in the former Akaiwa District of Okayama Prefecture, it has a heavy weight.）”, it is the main variety of white peach, following "Hakuho". Special product of Kasugai Town, Yamanashi Prefecture: Hohgakohtoh. Introduce soil preparation with a production method using chemical fertilizers and reduced pesticides, and harvest after raising the maturity until it is fully ripe. “Environmentally friendly farmer (as recognized by law)” is “Act on Promotion of Introduction of Sustainable Agricultural Production Method”, and（July 28, 1999 Law No. 110) Sustainable Agriculture It was enacted in the Law and came into effect on October 25, the same year. It is a farmer who has been certified by the Governor of Yamanashi Prefecture for the introduction plan of the agricultural production method by integrally making soil with compost and reducing chemical fertilizers and synthetic pesticides. “Technology certification required to become an eco-farmer” “Technology related to soil preparation” (application of compost, cultivation of green manure crops, etc.) “Chemical fertilizer reduction technology" (use of organic fertilizer, local fertilizer application, etc.) “Chemical pesticide reduction technology” (Use of biological pesticides, mechanical weeding, etc.) It is necessary to introduce (or more) technologies that fall under the following three categories one by one. The ultimate is the rigor of post-harvest sorting, size, color, shape, and sugar content conditions. It is also known for having a higher pass line than any other fruit sorting facility. A very high selection of “Kasugai peaches” was selected using a state-of-the-art sugar content sensor to select high-quality and high-concentration peaches. It has a very sweet taste and a mellow aroma. The products introduced this time are worthwhile in a short period from mid-July to late July, and have a sugar content of 13.5 degrees or higher. Farmers say that this variety is very difficult to cultivate and requires a high level of technical skill. Furthermore, even if it is cultivated with great effort and time, it is rarely found in retail stores under the name of "Asama Hakuto Peach", and it seems that it is not distinguished from other peaches. In other words, it is a variety that does not reward the hardships of farmers no matter how much they try to make it delicious.
In particular, the taste (sugar content), size, color, shape, etc. are all sorted by an optical sensor so that we can deliver the highest quality peaches. In addition, the peaches that have been thoroughly worked on, such as introducing soil preparation with a production method using low chemical fertilizers and reduced pesticides, and all of them have obtained "Eco Farmer" certification from the Governor of Yamanashi Prefecture, are called "Kasugai brand peaches". Called and famous.
The optical sensor sorting uses near-infrared spectroscopy. Simply put, it is a method of shining near-infrared rays on a fruit and measuring how the light is absorbed to measure the sugar content and water content of the fruit. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive technology that continuously monitors regional tissue oxygenation. Originally used for assessment of oxygen saturation of the brain, its use has now been expanded to evaluation of oxygenation of tissues other than There is also growing evidence for the larger applicability of NIRS as an estimate of systemic venous saturation in correspondence with the adequacy of the circulatory status. New and promising advances may further this technology to become part of our standard armamentarium, in order to optimize patient care in daily anesthesia practice.
Compared to other production areas, the price is 20 to 30% higher, and it is highly evaluated by the market as a brand production area. The history of peach cultivation in the Kasugai district of Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture is old and dates back to the Taisho era. Even though peach cultivation became popular before World War II, the decree on planting control during the war (in November 1941, just before the start of the Pacific War, the prefecture implemented agricultural land planting control based on national policy, that is, on flat land. The peaches were cut down by cutting down the cultivated mulberry and fruit trees and converting them into major food crops such as wheat and potatoes), and once disappeared. It gradually revived from around 1950, and in 1961, with the introduction of hand-packed boxed fruit selection, which can be called craftsmanship, it gained the trust of the market and suddenly became known as "Japan's No. 1 peach is Kasugai". In the old days, it seems that the farmers themselves packed the peaches in boxes using artistic techniques, not only sticking to the shape, but also using a brush to trim the peaches.
