In 1800, Shudayu Minagawa received an order from Matsudaira Shinano Kami Tadaaki via Shinsuke Hara, and in 1858, Takeshiro Matsuura was ordered by the shogunate to explore and survey Tokachi. In other words, the Ainu people's heaven and earth "Ezo: 東西蝦夷山川地理取調図, 1855" will become Japanese territory by agreement using public international law between nations with national systems backed by military force. From the Land of Love to Happiness From the precincts surrounded by spring water and occasional flowers, preserving the ancient Shinto music of the Taisho Shrine. It is dedicated on June 25th and September 8th every year on the grounds of a shrine precinct.

Agriculture in Tokachi was often hit by poor harvests, which coincided with the economic downturn, and it seems that there was no shortage of people leaving farming. However, in 1914, with the outbreak of World War I and food shortages in Europe, Obihiro saw an increase in the export of legumes via Otaru Port due to the opening of the Kushiro Line (currently the Nemuro Main Line). As a result, there was a bean boom. I have heard that pioneer farmers who were previously self-sufficient are now able to engage in farming with confidence. At the same time, the scale of farming continued to expand with the shift from human power to animal power using horses, and agriculture began to see further progress.

It seems that it was named after the queen who was chosen for the medieval spring festival (May Day: worker's festival held all over the world).
【Major features】
大正「大亨以正, 天之道也」: 大いに亨(とほ)りて以て正しきは, 天の道なり,「すべて滞りなく順調に運び正しさを得る」. Taisho Shrine (Amaterasu Okami): February 1921 Volunteers of Satsunai Village consulted, and in July 1922 the shrine was built with local resident's wealth, and the shrine was called Amaterasu Okami, and a ceremony was held under the name of Koshin Shrine. bottom. On May 1, 1926, due to the change of village boundaries, the villagers united and aspired to apply as a village shrine. On March 10, 1930, an application was made to change the name of the shrine to Taisho Shrine, and on May 17, 1930, it was approved. From the prefectural governor with a prefectural ordinance based on an imperial decree, those appointed to accept offerings of food, alcohol and gifts of monery wrapped at the prayer festival, the Niiname Festival (ceremonial offering to the deities by the Emperor of newly-harvested rice), and the annual festival A shrine dedicated to in paper called heihakuryo). The opening of the Hiroo Line in 1929 interfered with worship, so it was moved to its current location in 1934. Currently, it is revered as a guardian deity of the region, as a god of child rearing, performing arts, and good luck. Trademark Registration No. 5051632, Taisho Chinese yam, right holder: Obihiro Sei Agricultural Cooperative, Designated Goods or Designated Services, Obihiro City, Hokkaido Taishohoncho, Taisho Town, Aikoku Town, Showa Town, Kofuku Town, Sakuragi Town, Itaira Town, Izumi Town, Nakajima Town, Makubetsu Town, Nakagawa District Section of village Komai, Chinese yam produced by cooperative members who farm in the Sakae and Mikawa areas. The history of Taisho Chinese yam cultivated in the Obihiro Taisho area of Tokachi is about 40 years. Cultivation started with 3 producers, and now 76 producers are planting 200 ha. In order to deliver high-quality “Taisho Chinese Yam” to our customers, all producers work together to ensure thorough cultivation management. "Taisho Chinese Yam" is not only shipped domestically, but also exported to Taiwan and the United States. JA Obihiro Taisho is located 17 km south of the center of Obihiro City, Hokkaido, and has Obihiro Airport, the gateway to Tokachi. This is the area with the most blue skies and clear skies in Japan. The terrain is flat, and the arable land is mostly volcanic, with some alluvial soils. The Taisho region is known as "the hometown of Taisho May Queen (potatoes) and Taisho Kintoki beans.'' The main crops are wheat, sugar beets, potatoes, and beans. Yam is one of the local specialties along with potatoes and beans. It is an upland dairy farming area that includes vegetables. In this area, the production of edible potatoes (May Queen) has been thriving for a long time, and on the other hand, it was also a battle with potato common scab, the natural enemy of edible potatoes. This disease is affected by the acidity (pH) of the soil, and it is said that the higher the pH, the higher the possibility of contracting the disease. Therefore, it seems that the application of calcareous materials to neutralize the soil was less than in other regions. This situation has continued for many years, and in recent years the yield of various crops has been sluggish. As a result, about 70% of the 1,000 brushes analyzed in fiscal 1997 had a pH of less than 5.5 (very strongly acidic), and 20% of the fields had a pH of less than 5.0, which is unsuitable for growing crops. A drunken person is revealed to be in a difficult situation. In order to solve this urgent problem, our cooperative requested the cooperation of the Tokachi Chubu District Agricultural Improvement and Extension Center, Obihiro City Agricultural Promotion Public Corporation, and the Tokachi Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives to form the Taisho Soil Diagnosis Project Team formed. In the following year, as a project in 1998, we conducted soil analysis of about 900 points, and held a demonstration exhibition to confirm the effect of lime application in sugar beet fields so that producers could see and feel the local fields. It seems that they installed it in 12 fields and gave a technical improvement class in the blue sky workshop on site. In addition, it seems that they have been trying to improve farming techniques by conducting surveys on the effects of high and low pH on potatoes, wheat protein content surveys, and questionnaire surveys, and disseminating them to producers at conferences, seminars, etc. Streptomyces spp.: A disease whose occurrence is increasing with the alkalinization of soil. Light brown to grey-brown crusty lesions are formed on the surface of the tuber, which are of different sizes and slightly raised in the peripheral part and slightly depressed in the central part. The tissue under the lesion is pale brown and slightly rotten. This symptom is typical of this disease and is called common scab. Deeply sunken large deep scabs are often formed like the scars of feeding damage of molasses, and there seems to be raised scabs in which lesions swell like cushions. On the other hand, there is russet scab in which superficial lesions become network fissures. This is also known as tortoise shell disease. In other symptoms, grayish white powder (mycelia, spores) is seen in the lesions of tubers immediately after digging. It does not affect the yield, but if it occurs frequently, it seems to greatly reduce its value as food. In addition, according to NARO's verification, there are measures such as seed potato treatment, but fundamental measures such as soil disinfection are not taken except for some small farms in Honshu where the unit price of produce is relatively high. Apparently not. On the other hand, in the Kyushu region, which is centered on the remote islands of Kagoshima Prefecture, the application of rice bran has traditionally been practiced at the private level as a countermeasure against potato scab. Is scientifically unexplained. Therefore, we have scientifically verified the suppressive effect of rice bran on scab disease, and clarified the disease suppression mechanism. In 1999, the Basic Law on Food, Agriculture and Rural Areas was enacted, and a new agricultural policy started. Since the Basic Plan for Food, Agriculture and Rural Areas was enacted in 2000 under the new Basic Law, the basic plan has been reviewed every five years. In addition, since the formulation of the "Basic Plan for Redevelopment of Rural Areas in Obihiro City" in 1971, Obihiro City's plan for agricultural promotion has been the "5th Obihiro City Basic Plan for Agriculture and Rural Areas" formulated in 2010. It is formulated as a guideline for agricultural promotion in Motoichi while keeping an eye on various issues in each era. The environment surrounding agriculture is undergoing major changes, such as the declining population, the acceleration of economic globalization and technological innovation, and climate change, and is expected to become even more severe in the future. In addition to responding appropriately to changes in the environment surrounding agriculture and farming villages, the city's agriculture will continue to grow in the future, based on the government's "Basic Plan for Food, Agriculture, and Rural Areas" and the Hokkaido Government's "Hokkaido Agriculture and Rural Development Promotion Plan." For the sustainable development of rural areas, medium-to long-term. It seems that it will be formulated as a guideline to promote measures from a different perspective. The period of the plan will be 10 years from FY2020 to FY2029, and it will be reviewed as necessary based on changes in the situation surrounding agriculture and rural areas and the progress of measures. This plan was formulated in line with the 7th Obihiro City Comprehensive Plan as a field plan that indicates the direction of measures and goals for the next 10 years regarding the promotion of agriculture and forestry, based on changes in the environment surrounding agriculture and rural areas. It seems that it was in 1948, soon after JA was founded, that JA Obihiromasa began to grow May Queen in earnest. For more than 70 years since then, he has been engaged in selecting excellent seed potatoes, improving the cultivation techniques of producers, and carrying out PR activities. Today, the planted area is 1,256 ha, and it has grown into a large production area that produces about 37% of Hokkaido's May Queen Potatoes, and has received high praise from the market nationwide. Shipped 25,000 tons, harvested from August to September. Shipped from August to March. Regional collective trademark. Taisho May Queen potatoes (trademark registration No. 5051631): Reduced the amount of pesticides used since 2003. Stem and leaf chopper treatment: During the yellowing period (ripening period) of potato stems and leaves, the above-ground stems and leaves are mechanically treated to enable timely harvesting. JA Taisho Obihiro Top Brand―It operates its own fertilizer factory and supplies producers with fertilizer suitable for the region. With a feature that there is little variation in quality for half a year with great care from sowing to harvesting work. It is due to the excellent professional skills cultivated over many years by professional producers using fertilizers that are suitable for the soil. It is located almost in the center of the Tokachi region in eastern Hokkaido. It is the center of the Tokachi region(Mainly in the agricultural industry, 1 city 16 towns 2 villages)and plays a role as an agricultural product accumulation area and a commercial city. Full-scale development began in 1883. The history of systematic urban formation such as a grid-shaped road network. It is the foundation of our predecessors that we can experience both the ease of living and the richness of nature. The reason for Tokachi's core city. The self-sustaining development of local regions will depend on taking advantage of the potential of cities and, from a wider-ranging perspective, seeking forms of development whereby the merits of agglomeration spill over into peripheral areas, while also fostering key cities to form the core of regional economies. Article 67 In addition to what is prescribed in the main clause of the preceding Article, affairs which are specified as those to be determined by prefectures in this Act and are specified by a Cabinet Order shall be determined by designated cities set forth in Article 252-19, paragraph (1) of the Local Autonomy Act (Act No. 67 of 1947) (hereinafter referred to as "designated cities") or by core cities set forth in Article 252-22, paragraph (1) of the same Act (hereinafter referred to as "core cities") from designated cities or core cities (hereinafter referred to as "designated cities, etc.") pursuant to a Cabinet Order. In this case, the provisions of this Act concerning prefectures shall apply to designated cities, etc. as the provisions concerning designated cities, etc. The area of Obihiro City is 619.34 square kilometers, and the southwestern part is occupied by the Hidaka Mountains such as Mt. Tokachiporoshiri (1,846 m)(日高山脈襟裳国定公園(a national park in Hokkaido called Hidaka Sanmyaku Erimo National Park)ーIt boasts an area of about 10% of the city area.). The flat land in the center and northeast, which occupies about 60% of the city area. About half is one of the largest large-scale management in Japan: Dairy and upland farming. The city is located at the northeastern end of the city area, adjacent to the Tokachi River and Satsunai River(It has long been useful as raw tap water), which are the sixth largest basin areas in Japan. The average annual temperature is 6.8 degrees Celsius, the annual rainfall is about 888 mm, and the rainfall of 1 mm or more is about 85 days a year, which is a cool and light rain region in Japan. Since it is located inland, the daily temperature difference is relatively large. In normal years, the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures averages 10.4 degrees. In winter, the lowest temperature tends to drop even in Hokkaido. There are 156 days a year when the minimum temperature falls below freezing, and it drops to around 20 degrees below freezing during the cold season. There are many sunny days throughout the year, and the sunny weather tends to continue from autumn to winter, making it ideal for living. Fire prevention line; An oblique road that imitates the city of Washington, the capital of the United States. For preventing the spread of large-scale fires. Currently, it is used as a road and a green area and has been inherited. As a reminder, the May Queen in, which’s easy to peel off, is air-dried using a fan, etc., so that it looks beautiful. In Assho era, the town of Assabu(Hiyama county)in Hokkaido was considered the birthplace. It spread nationwide from the Kansai region in the 1955's. In my jurisdiction, I started growing May Queen about 30 years ago. Even in the southwestern part of the country, mulch cultivation, which covers the fields with a poly film to increase the soil temperature, has become popular since the mid-1940s. It’s said to be "the apple of the earth" because of its high nutritional value.(Excellent varieties of Hokkaido, 1972(1928-Limited recommended variety), Early Victoria, Finna Early, Finney's Victory,Glenearn, Koksiaan, Maikoenigin, Thea Kartoffel), A disease called E. Sadler grows in Bentham, which is near Cheltenham in the UK. It was introduced by the Sutton Company in 1900 to the world, and the parents are unknown. Medium initial growth and early hypertrophy. In the withered period, it’s a middle to early life or middle age, which's later than "Baron potato". It's oblong and the base's slightly bulged and slightly bent. The skin color’s white to light yellow brown. It's slightly yellowish, slightly sticky and has a pleasant texture, and has more sugar than other edible varieties immediately after harvest. When stored at low temperature, sweetness and viscosity tend to increase particularly. The smile of my family comes to my mind. Your company supports local industry as a sales and collection point for agricultural products and pesticides. Returning to the story, we must not forget "Obihiro no Mori" as a healing space. Arranged so as to surround the city from the west to the south of the city. Law on Improvement and Vitalization in City Center (entered effect in 1998),Is it a digression? It is about 11 kilometers long, about 550 meters wide, and occupies an area of 406.5 hectares. It seems that the city will be surrounded by a green belt by connecting to the Tokachi River and the Satsunai River riparian forest in a 100-year plan for the future. Based on the crop rotation system, wheat, sugar beet, beans, and potato are the basics against the background of blessed land conditions.



May Queen potatoes were introduced to Japan around 1917-1918. I heard that the Obihiro General Agricultural Cooperative began full-scale cultivation of May Queen around 1948, soon after the establishment of the cooperative. At first, it was weak against disease, and the yield was low compared to other potatoes. The excellent agricultural products grown in the Taisho area, where there is a large temperature difference between day and night, are full of sweetness. The feature is that the buds are not deep and easy to process.



Stem and leaf chopper processing is the mechanical processing of stems and leaves on the ground during the yellowing period (maturity) of potato stems and leaves, making it possible to harvest at a more appropriate time.



Made in England, May Queen potatoes have a strong sweetness and low starch content, so they do not fall apart when cooked. Dnforced (Law No. 51 aims to quarantine imported and imported plants and domestic plants, exterminate plants and animals that are harmful to plants, and prevent their spread, thereby ensuring the safety and promotion of agricultural production. Import and domestic quarantine to prevent the invasion and spread of pests that do not exist in Japan or exist in some parts of the country, domestic control to control pests that exist in Japan, requirements of export destination countries and regions At the same time, cultivation techniques were improved with the support of farm engineers and district associations, and selected seeds were produced. Having gained insight into the edible characteristics of this plant, it seems that they have established a seed production system and actively started management guidance because they had high hopes for the near future.

A temple of the Jodo sect founded in 1053 by Fujiwara no Narito (987-) and the founder of the Sekian priest. In the era of Abe no Yoriyoshi (a position to lead Ezo as the district governor (under the ritsuryo system) of the 6 districts of Isawa, Esashi, Waga, Hienuki, Shiwa, and Iwate in the central part of Iwate Prefecture), it was the southern limit of Okuroku District. Crossing Kinugawa, which was there, he started to control Iwai County, the territory of ancient provincial government offices, and friction with ancient provincial government offices Tagajo occurred. In 1051, Mutsu no Kami Narito mobilized the army of Akita's Taira no Shigenari? (Jonosuke Akita) to attack Yoriyoshi. However, Yoriyoshi intercepted this at Onikiribe, Tamatsukuri District (Naruko, Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture) and won a great victory, the Former Nine Years' War (a war between Ezo and Genji. 1051-1062, 1083-1087) begins.


It is shipped within the prefecture and to Tokyo from late October to late November every year. Mishirazugaki is an astringent persimmon grown in Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture, and has been cultivated since ancient times along with the history of Aizu. It tastes very good and is presented to the imperial family every year. Since it is an astringent persimmon, the astringency is removed using shochu(distilled spirits)or gas before shipping.


【Product name】
Mishirawzu(neglecting one's health) 
【Type】
Diospyros kaki
【Producing area】
Aizuwakamatsu City, Kitakata City, Yama District, Minamiaizu District , Kawachi-gun, Onuma District, Fukushima Prefecture (JA Aizu Yotsuba, JA Zen-Noh Fukushima)
【Origin of name】
There are three theories about the origin of the name. Because it bears so many large fruits that the branch seems to break (a humble persimmon). When I presented this persimmon to the shogun, he was highly praised, saying, "I have never tasted such a delicious persimmon." Also, it seems that persimmons are so delicious that I eat too much of them without even thinking about myself.
【Major features】
In early December 2022, Gypsophila 'Showa kasumi grass' (perennial gypsophila), which is native to the Mediterranean coast, is cultivated in the Oku-Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture, including Showa Village in Onuma County. It seems that it likes to grow. The cool environment brings a breeze even in summer, and from early summer to late autumn, it seems that countless flowers reminiscent of "stars in the sky" bloom.It seems that there are various types of "perennial gypsophila". In the village, Altair, Veilstar, etc. Other seasonal products include Patrinia scabiosifolia (seen in sunny meadows. Several stems are stretched straight to form a stock, with many yellow flowers at the tip.) The inflorescence seems to be about 15 to 20 cm in size as a whole. The leaves are paired, and the leaves on the stem are thin and deeply cleft like feathers, but the leaves at the base are Japanese white raddish leaves. It grows with a short rhizome, and is famous as one of the Seven autumnal flowers (bush clover, Chinese silvergrass, kudzu, fringed pink, golden lace, thoroughwort, and balloon flower). boasts the largest cultivated area and shipment volume in Japan during the summer and autumn season.) efforts to improve quality have borne fruit, and it seems to be traded at higher prices than ever before. This year's sales amounted to 607.73 million yen, surpassing 600 million yen for the first time. Although the number of shipments decreased from the previous year, the increase in the unit price pushed up the sales amount. As the birthrate declines and the population ages rapidly, more and more young people are moving to the area to grow gypsophila, and the people concerned seem to be working to further improve the brand power. Similarly, the sales amount for 2022 of the Minamiaizu region's branded crop "Nango Tomato" has finished shipping. As of the 8th of the same month, it was 1,091 million yen, which seems to be the highest ever. According to the Nango Tomato Producer's Association, it seems that the reason for this is the stable supply despite nationwide shortages due to flood damage and extreme heat. The shipment volume was 2,548.4 tons, about 95% of last year's, but I heard that the price per box (4 kg) remained at a high level of 1,700 yen. Going back about two months, on October 26th, the Aizu Mishirazu Persimmon Market Expansion Promotion Council, which consists of Aizuwakamatsu City, Aizubange Town in Kawanuma County, and Aizumisato Town in Onuma County, launched sherbet and ice cream using mishirazu persimmons. On sale. It seems that they are enthusiastic about increasing the income of producers and improving the attractiveness of the industry by making effective use of non-standard persimmons, which were partly discarded. The Aizu Mishirazu persimmon is a very delicious persimmon that is presented to the imperial family every year. Also known as "Sainenji persimmon'', it is said to have originated about 500 years ago when the chief priest of Sainenji Temple, located in what is now Obama, Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, brought back a sapling from China and cultivated it when he went to study in China. Although it is an astringent persimmon, it is poured with 35% shochu for persimmons, and the box is sealed for about two weeks. The opening date is a guideline for removing astringency, and it seems that it will be sealed all the time during that time. After waiting for about two weeks, the astringency is gone and it seems that you can eat it. When the astringency has just started to disappear, you can enjoy the crispy texture, and it seems that the sweetness is yet to come. Species: Japanese pine, 350 years old, height: 4.3 m, trunk circumference: 1.6 m, 1983 Designated as a green cultural asset in Fukushima Prefecture: Mt. Date, Location, Obama, Nihonmatsu City, Owner (Administration Organization), Sainenji Temple(Jodo sect, Bodaisan Kotokuin), The origin of the name comes from the shape of the branch that crawls on the ground, reminiscent of the shape of a dragon. It is also called Mikaeri-no-matsu (three revived pine) because it has suffered fires three times in the past and has sprouted back three times. According to one theory, the pine bonsai that Terumune Date (1544-1585) loved was donated by Masamune (1567-1636) and later transplanted into the garden. Aizu Mishirazu persimmons are harvested from late October to mid-November, and are mainly consumed in the production area, and are apparently shipped until late November. Seedless astringent persimmons are slightly tall, and when viewed from the side, they have the impression of a lovely flat heart shape. The Minamiaizu region of Fukushima Prefecture, where the Nango tomato representative of JA jurisdiction is cultivated, is located in the southwestern part of Fukushima Prefecture and seems to consist of 4 towns and villages (3 towns and 1 village). The area is 234,153 hectares, which is almost the same as Kanagawa Prefecture, 93% of which is forest, and it seems to be an area rich in nature such as Nikko Oze National Park and Mt. Hiuchigatake, one of Japan's 100 famous mountains. The climate is typical of the Sea of Japan, with cool summers and severely cold winters, with snowfall exceeding 4 meters in some places, and is designated as a heavy snowfall zone or a special heavy snowfall zone. However, it seems that it is also an area where aging and depopulation are progressing. On August 6, 2018, Nango Tomato was registered as the first product produced in Fukushima Prefecture under the Geographical Indication (GI) protection system. The GI registration began with producers' desire to protect the Nango tomato brand, which is a local asset, and organizational efforts to improve cultivation techniques have led to the stabilization and improvement of the quality of Nango tomatoes. It seems that it was registered in recognition of the fact that it has been producing over 2000 tons annually for more than a year. Of the four towns and villages in the Minamiaizu region, it is cultivated in three towns: Tadami Town, Minamiaizu Town, and Shimogo Town, Minamiaizu District. However, Nango Tomato acquired a regional collective trademark registration in 2019, and the only tomatoes that can be sold under the same name are the tomatoes produced by members of the production union, and only the tomatoes sorted and shipped from JA's Nango Tomato Sorting Plant. It seems that they have tried to make it into a decoy. However, in recent years, tomatoes that do not meet the standards at direct sales stores are Nango Tomato. There is no end to the cases of being sold as For this reason, they decided to aim for GI registration, which would allow them to differentiate themselves from other products, avoid the burden of lawsuits, and protect their brand. On April 20, 2016, Mr. Seishi Sambe, the president of the production union, applied for the registration of the Nango Tomato GI. Registered for the first time as a Fukushima product in the labeling (GI) protection system. It seems that the organizational efforts to improve cultivation techniques have led to the stabilization and improvement of the quality of Nango tomatoes. Nango tomatoes are mainly shipped from July to October, and the peak shipping season is from August to late September to October. It is the beginning of the month. Tomato production takes advantage of the weather conditions of the production area, which is cooler than the flatlands and has a large temperature difference between day and night. In particular, I heard that the tomatoes that are shipped from early September have improved taste, so they started selling them as autumn flavor from 2013. The Nango Tomato Producers Association has rules that the producers themselves have decided in order to compete with their organizational strength, and it seems that members of the production association are cultivating valuable tomatoes by observing the following rules. In addition, it seems that all of the harvested tomatoes other than non-standard products should be shipped by JA, and non-standard products should not be sold under the name of "Nango Tomatoes." In 2004, we obtained regional collective trademark registration. Tomatoes that can be sold under the name of Nango Tomatoes are those that are produced by members of the production association and are sorted and shipped from JA's Nango Tomato Sorting Plant. It seems that it is only a tomato of the product. Seedlings are either joint nursery seedlings of the production association or seedlings outsourced by the production association. Observance of the rules seems to lead to strengthening the unity of the union members. In 1990, the first I-turn farmer was accepted as a system for accepting new farmers. Since then, we have developed a system for accepting new farmers while doing trial-and-error to train new farmers. It seems. Currently, production associations, JA, towns, prefectures, etc. I have heard that related organizations and groups are collaborating, sharing roles, and providing support in their respective fields. For those who wish to start farming, the farming association, JA, the town, and the Minamiaizu Agriculture and Forestry Office of Fukushima Prefecture conduct farming consultations and interviews. It seems that there is In addition, in order to prevent people from leaving farming, it is necessary to have two or more relatives working in farming. In order to earn profits quickly, it seems that they are obliged to undergo thorough practical training as trainees at advanced farmers designated by the production association for one to two years before starting farming. Here, the trainees learned not only about tomato cultivation techniques but also about the local community. It seems that they will learn and make connections with local people. Advanced farmers are thinking about the future production area and accept trainees without loss, and it seems that the trainees are like foster parents in this area. In addition, after starting farming, the Nango Tomato Guidance Group (organized by the production association, JA, and prefecture) has cultivation experience. Mainly for those who are not familiar with the technique, it seems that they carry out guidance tours twice a week to ensure that they acquire skills. JA and the town will support housing during training and after farming, selection of farmland, pipe houses and It seems that various subsidies are also being used to cover the initial cost of watering facilities. In addition, the mutual aid activity production association of the research department and branch has a "tomato research department" organized by young producers, new farmers and trainees, and seems to be responsible for testing new materials and techniques. It seems that this research department also engages in mutual assistance activities, such as volunteering to build pipe houses for new farmers and to restore farms when pests occur. In addition, the unity of each branch is strong due to regional unity, and they help each other immediately if something happens. The system seems to have formed naturally. This is a lot of snow. People involved say that the spirit of termination unique to the region, which was born in the harsh weather conditions, is also being used in tomato cultivation. Farmers are managed individually, but cherishing the connections between producers, new farmers are also members of the production area, It seems that the fact that they are cultivating with the awareness of being a member of the production area is creating a unity as a production area. The Aizu district is located in the western part of Fukushima Prefecture, bordering Yamagata, Niigata, Gunma, and Tochigi Prefectures, and consists of two cities, Kitakata City and Aizuwakamatsu City, and Yama, Minamiaizu, Kawanuma, and Onuma counties. Geographically, it is sandwiched between the Ou Mountains and the Echigo Mountains. The climate is on the side of the Sea of Japan, and summer is cool in the mountainous areas and hot and humid in the flatlands due to the basin. There seems to be a lot of snowfall in winter. With an average annual temperature of 11.4°C and an average annual rainfall of 1,133.8 mm, the temperature is the lowest in Fukushima Prefecture, making it a cool region. In addition to rice cultivation, the district seems to cultivate horticultural crops such as cucumbers, tomatoes, asparagus and green beans. 60% of the total sales in this district are rice, followed by cucumbers, tomatoes, and asparagus. In addition, it seems that they are cultivating garden crops including asparagus by taking advantage of the cool climate. The well-known “Fukushima. GAP Challenge” aims to be the best GAP in Japan and introduces GAP certified people who deliver the safety and security of local products. FGAP is a system in which the prefecture certifies producers and groups that practice GAP based on the prefecture's own standards, including measures against radioactive substances.



My hometown, Aizuwakamatsu City, is the central city of the Aizu region, which occupies the western part of Fukushima Prefecture. During the Edo period, it prospered as a castle town of the Aizu clan, and even today, it is dotted with historical sites such as Tsuruga Castle and the Byakkotai, attracting a large number of tourists and causing a boom. In addition, Aizu contributes to our food and health as one of Japan's leading producers of agricultural products, thanks to the fertile land, clean and abundant water, and the large temperature difference characteristic of the basin. In particular, rice and persimmons are representative autumn crops of Aizu. Among them, "Mishirazu persimmons", which are harvested in late autumn, are given the honor of being presented to the Imperial Household every year for their smooth texture and rich taste. It is an excellent agricultural product with Mishirazu persimmons presented to the Imperial Family are limited to those cultivated by nine members of the Kitamiyama Raw Persimmon Production and Shipment Association located in the Oyama district of Monden Town in Aizuwakamatsu City. As such, it seems to have been presented to the imperial family and each imperial family through the governor of Fukushima Prefecture. The famous Oyama area is located in an alluvial fan facing the southern slope of the Aizu Basin, and the soil is black clay. Because the area receives a lot of afternoon sun throughout the year, the hours of sunlight are long, and the clear waters of the upper reaches of the Agano River seem to create an environment suitable for growing fruit trees.



The partially dried Japanese persimmon produced by the Aizuwakamatsu North Oyama Producer Association, which has been honored as a persimmon presented to the Imperial Family every year since 1928, is an irreplaceable treasure of Japan. If the astringency of the persimmon has just been removed, but on rare occasions the astringency remains, If you put it in the sun for a few days or leave it at room temperature, the bitterness will disappear. Oxygen absorber AGELESS: Absorbs oxygen in a closed container to create a deoxygenated state (oxygen concentration of 0.1% or less) and removes the effects of oxygen on foods. It is possible to maintain "deliciousness" and "freshness" for a long period of time. In addition, taking advantage of its properties, it seems to be widely used to prevent deterioration of pharmaceuticals, medical products, cosmetics, etc., and to prevent mite and mold in clothing and bedding.



Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is temporarily suspended due to the nuclear accident that occurred at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station due to the Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake (or Great East Japan Earthquake) that occurred on March 11, 2011 and the accompanying tsunami. Exports were resumed about six years ago, and on November 10, 2022, the shipping ceremony for the first export of this year was held at the fruit sorting plant in Aizumisato Town. Furthermore, it seems that the producers are also expecting flights to the Kingdom of Thailand, which has been closed.

In response to the hellish tragedy of the Great Tohoku Earthquake, which occurred at 14:46:18.1 on March 11, 2011, we ultimately provided the world's largest amount of donations and financial support to the government, exceeding 20 billion yen / Material support / The country that moved to dispatch a relief force is Taiwan, the proud country that you love. This is a fact that all Japanese people should know. With the blessings and the ties with the population of approximately 23.4 million people, we have been able to support the Senkakus, Takeshima Islands, At a time when our country is facing diplomatic difficulties with neighboring countries, such as the abduction issue, we should seriously consider the importance of friendly relations with neighboring Taiwan, which is the most pro-Japanese country in the world. , Leaders of our homeland who took the shortcut to carry our dreams, don't be silent or boastful. If you don't act now, won't you be ashamed of your whole life, with mountains not moving and regrets remaining?

2011年3月11日14時46分18.1秒に発生, 東北大震災の地獄惨劇を受け, 最終的に200億円を超える世界第一位の義捐金や政府への資金援助 / 物的支援 / 救援部隊派遣に動いてくれた国は, 貴方が愛する誇り高き, 台湾だ. 日本人なら, 皆が知り得る事実だろう. 恩恵と, 人口約2340万人の絆を受けて, 尖閣, 竹島, 拉致問題など, 近隣諸国との外交の困難に我が国が直面している時, 世界で最も親日的である隣国台湾との友好関係の重要性を, 真剣に考えるべきだ. 子供達の未来を託し, 我々の夢を担う近道を選び通した祖国のリーダー達よ, 黙らず, 驕るべからずだ. 今こそ動かなければ一生, 山が動かず悔いが残り, 生涯に恥じないか?

When the Taiwanese authorities appealed for donations from the private sector to support the victims of the Noto Peninsula Earthquake, 2.5 billion yen was received in the half-month period from January 5th to 19th. Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare opened a special account on the 5th of this month to support the victims of the Noto Peninsula Earthquake, and began accepting donations from the private sector at designated financial institutions and convenience stores. As a result, by the January 19th deadline, over 134,000 applications had been collected, totaling approximately 541.59 million Taiwanese yuan, or over 2.5 billion yen (converted to Japanese yen). The donations will be delivered to the Japanese side through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Separately, the Taiwanese authorities announced 60 million yen in aid and handed over the list to the representative of the Japanese focal point on the 11th of this month. We must not forget that Taiwan received more than 20 billion yen in relief donations after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011: 能登半島地震の被災者への支援のため台湾当局が民間に寄付を呼びかけたところ, 1月5日から19日までの半月で25億円が寄せられました。台湾の衛生福利部は能登半島地震の被災者への支援のため, 今月5日から専用の口座を開いて、指定の金融機関やコンビニエンスストアなどで民間からの寄付を受け付けていた. 結果, 1月19日の締め切りまでに13万4000件余り, 総額およそ5億4159万台湾元, 日本円に換算して25億円余りが集まったということらしい. 寄付金は外交部を通じて日本側に届けられる. これとは別に, 台湾当局は6000万円の支援を発表し, 11日にその目録を日本の窓口機関の代表に手渡している, 台湾からは、2011年の東日本大震災のあとにも200億円を超える義援金が寄せられている事を忘れてはならない. それと何故, いち早く支援を名乗り出た彼ら救助隊を受け入れなかったのか? 沢山の規制はじめまして理解に価するが, 人手が余るのが丁度良い. 彼女らの想像を絶する, 128時間もの生き埋めを阻止出来たのではないか?

It seems that the name of Taiwan pineapple has spread in Japan because Japanese import agents and sales companies sold it under the brand "Kinsan Pine".

The continent became involved in Taiwan in 1661, when Chung's success in aiming for "Qing dynasty and restoration of the Ming dynasty" challenged the Netherlands, which dominates Taiwan, to make it a bridgehead. It seems to be after the year. Mr. Chung Taiwan collapsed in 1683 due to the internal conflict of the clan and military pressure from the Qing dynasty, and the land became the Taiwan prefecture of Fujian province in 1684, and it seems that it was officially incorporated into the continental map for the first time in history. Although the Qing government officially occupied Taiwan, it seems that it was not motivated to develop Taiwan's economy because of the political and military interest in defending it from becoming a base for anti-Qing forces. Peng Ming-min, known as the Taiwan independence elder and an adviser to the Presidential Office Building under the Chen Shui-bian administration, died at the age of 98 on April 8, 2022 at 5:55 am (6:55 Japan time) due to senility. Seems to have done. It seems that the Peng Ming Min cultural & educational foundation has announced it. Tsai Ing-wen, the 7th president of the Republic of China, is a pioneer of Taiwan's democracy, and his belief has influenced Taiwanese people for generations. Born in Taichung in 1923 under Japanese rule, he majored in political science at the Faculty of Law, Tokyo Imperial University. He re-learned at Taiwan University after the war and became a professor at the same university in 1957. In 1964, under martial law, he wrote the "Taiwan People's Self-Defense Movement Declaration (Self-Rescue Declaration)" with his students, advocating democratization and independence. He was sentenced to eight years in prison, but was released by the Chiang Kai-shek administration under international pressure and went into exile in the United States and elsewhere. He was invited to a hearing to testify at the US Parliamentary deliberation of the "Taiwan Relations Act," which stipulates security relations with Taiwan enacted in the United States in 1979. It was established on April 10, 1979, and a new page related to Taiwan and the United States has been opened. With the strong support of the US Parliament, the "Taiwan Relations Act" seems to have become a guiding principle for cooperation between the United States and Taiwan. By adhering to the legislative security of Taiwan by the US Congress, Taiwan seems to have survived the darkest times and become a free and healthy democratic society today. It seems that the United States not only embodies the protection of peace, security and stability in the Pacific region with Taiwanese, but at the same time supports the development of Taiwan's self-defense capabilities and is able to counter any form of intimidation. Successive US governments and parliaments have adhered to this promise and support. In March 1996, the Clinton administration sent two aircraft carriers to the waters near Taiwan to prevent Taiwan from trying to interfere with Taiwan's first direct election for the president. At that historic moment, the United States seems to be on the same line as Taiwan, showing the world a promise to share the values of democracy. The Taiwanese responded by demonstrating to the world our determination to exercise the right to vote, which is the basic process of democracy, and demonstrating our ability to join the ranks of the world's liberal democratic nations. In 1996, we took a big step in democracy. Twenty years later, Taiwan became one of the freest countries in the world, and Taiwanese people were the first to elect a female president. She returned to Taiwan in 1992 and ran for the first presidential election in 1996 with the Democratic Progressive Party official recognition, but lost to Kuomintang Lee Teng-hui. She became an adviser to the Presidential Office Building of the Chen Shui-bian administration in 2000. Even after her retirement, she is a hero who has consistently appealed for the promotion of democratization and the idea of Taiwan independence until her death. During the Japanese rule (1895-1945), the 1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed, and Taiwan was ceded to Japan. 1895 (May) Declaration of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Formosa. Japanese army landed in Taiwan. In June, he fled to Xiamen, the Tang dynasty of the President of the Democratic Republic of Formosa. 1930 Musha Incident. Japanization policy. 1940 The Taiwanese surname begins. Republic of China (1945-), 1945 End of World War II, surrender of Japan. Returned to Taiwan and the Republic of China. In 1945, Chen Yi was appointed as Chief Executive of Taiwan Province. The February 28 Incident in 1947. In 1948, Chiang Kai-shek became the first president. Established the People's Republic of China on the continent in 1949. Signed the Japan-China Peace Treaty in 1952. 1971 Henry Alfred Kissinger (United States international political scientist born in Furt, Germany) visits China. China returns to the United Nations. Taiwan withdraws from the United Nations. In 1972, he was appointed President of the Executive Yuan (Prime Minister) in Chiang Ching-kuo. 1972 Normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China, abolition of the Japan-China Peace Treaty, and severance of diplomatic relations between Japan and Taiwan. In 1978, Chiang Ching-kuo was elected the 6th president. In 1979, the US diplomatic relations were cut off and the China-US diplomatic relations were normalized. The 1979 Kaohsiung Incident. The Democratic Progressive Party was formed in 1986. 1987 Martial law lifted. In 1988, Chiang Ching-kuo died, and Lee Teng-hui was promoted to president. 1989 Cheng Nan-jung, editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine "Freedom", self-immolates in protest of the Kuomintang government. 1991 All members of the first parliament retired. Lee Teng-hui was elected in the first direct presidential election in 1996. Following the hellish tragedy of the Great Tohoku Earthquake on March 11, 2011, we finally moved to a donation of over 20 billion yen (the world's number one) and financial support, physical support, and relief unit dispatch to the government. The country that gave me is Taiwan, the proud country you love. This is a fact that every Japanese person can know. You must always show gratitude. The origin of pineapple is said to be in the basins of the Parana and Paraguay rivers in Brazil, which is a tropical United States. At the end of the 15th century, Europe entered the Age of Discovery, but ships from Spain and Portugal, which discovered a route to the Americas on the Atlantic route, reached the land of Central and South America one after another. The island of Guadeloupe in the West Indies during Christopher Columbus second voyage in 1493 (now an overseas department in France, named after Our Lady of Guadalupe, enshrined in the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Guadalupe in Spain) Found in. As a gift to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel, both Catholic monarchs, it seems that they are offering it with gold nuggets, rare tropical trees, and animals. By that time, pineapple was already cultivated as an edible fruit in various parts of the Americas, and it seems that it was soon brought to Europe. The pineapple was introduced to the Philippines in 1558 as a result of Christian Jesuit monks actively developing colonies along with missionary activities, and then it seems to have been transmitted from all over Southeast Asia to mainland China and Taiwan. It seems that there is a record that it was first planted in the Ogasawara Islands in Tokyo in 1830 in Japan. In addition, the edible part of the pineapple is a part called "inflorescence" where many flowers are gathered, and the part of each axis, the tentacles that support it, and the ovary part under it are fused and enlarged. It seems that it can be cultivated from seeds, but it takes a considerable number of years to use it for food, so it seems that seedlings are usually planted and raised by planting sucking buds with side buds that can be formed at the base of leaves. Even so, it takes about 36 months for commercial use, about 18 months from planting to flowering, and more than half a year until fruiting, and it seems that it will be enlarged and shipped. As a plant, it is classified as a herbaceous plant, and since it is a perennial plant, it bears fruit every year once it is planted, but it seems that the fruit becomes smaller with each passing year. The varieties are general varieties in which many Smooth Cayenne varieties are produced worldwide, and are cultivated by Bogor varieties (snack pine) native to Taiwan, soft touch varieties (peach pine) born in Japan, gold barrels, and summer goal cultivars. And is widely known. Taiwan pineapple is a variety called "Taino No. 17 pineapple", and it seems that it is commonly called "Kinsan Pine". Even after World War II, research on pineapple cultivation techniques was carried out in Taiwan, and it seems that canned pineapple in Taiwan had a global share in the 1970s. However, due to trade liberalization and high manufacturing costs, the pineapple processing industry such as canning has declined since 1980. However, it seems that Taiwan pineapple's march started from here due to the wisdom and foundation of its predecessors. Until then, pineapples cultivated were limited to those with strong acidity, but it seems that breeding has progressed so that they can be eaten raw immediately after harvesting. Also, by shifting the harvest time for each variety, it seems that it has become possible to enjoy pineapple all year round. It seems that the first pineapple in Taiwan before breeding was called a native species. And, for processed products such as canned foods, seedlings called "kaiei seeds" were introduced from Hawaii during the Japanese colonial era. It seems that more than 20 types of pineapple are currently being developed. In Taiwan, pineapples are cultivated a lot south of Taichung City, especially in Pingtung County, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, etc., and although they are produced all year round, it is said that mid-March to July is a particularly delicious season. Seems to be there. "Taiwan No. 17 pineapple", which has been widely cultivated in southern Taiwan since 1998, accounts for 80% of Taiwan's pineapple exports every year, and has been loved by consumers all over the world for many years. We are also benefiting. The color of the fruit is golden, the sugar content is slightly higher than that of other varieties, and the acidity is low, so the rich sweetness is strongly felt. A typical pineapple has a hard, unsweetened core in the middle that is often truncated, but this excellent produce is soft and sweet to the core. When I try to eat it, it seems that the texture different from the fruit is the reason for its popularity. Taiwanese pineapple, which has been "embargoed" by China since March 2021, has been reported in various Japanese media due to the Taiwanese government's publicity, and has become a hot topic in the streets. Although Taiwanese pineapples have been embargoed by China, the Taiwanese government is diversifying exports as domestic supply and demand expands. In Japan as well, it has been attracting attention from various media reports, and in 2021, Taiwanese pineapple exports to Japan have already exceeded 5,000 tons.

It is still fresh in our memory that the neighboring Chinese customs authorities have announced a ban on the import of Taiwanese pineapples from March 1, 2021. The ostensible reason is "detection of pests", but it is similar to the fact that as a result of Australia's request to investigate the source of the new coronavirus that was not in line with the Chinese government in 2020, import restrictions on Australian wine etc. were set. I'm not the only one considered to be a form of economic sanctions by the Chinese government. Since 97% of Taiwanese pineapples are exported to China, it is inevitable that the situation will hit producers, but China's unilateral embargo announcement is supported not only within Taiwan but also in other countries. Has begun to move. According to the Ministry of Finance of Taiwan (a government agency equivalent to the Ministry of Finance of Japan) in March 2022, pineapple succeeded in developing markets in Japan and Hong Kong, and both markets accounted for 63.2% and 22.1% of pineapple exports, respectively. It is revealed that it has increased to. From the scope of the tax treaty of the Ministry of Finance, for Taiwan, the whole is based on the private tax agreement between the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association and the Association of East Asian Relations (Taiwan side) and the laws and regulations for implementing the contents in Japan. (Currently, both associations have been renamed to the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association (Japan side) and the Association of East Asian Relations (Taiwan side), respectively.) According to the statistical report, Taiwan is "fruit." It is called the "Kingdom" and you can eat various fruits throughout the four seasons, but it seems that exports are affected by problems such as production costs, quality control, and difficulty in storing and transporting fresh food. For this reason, it seems that exports accounted for less than 10% of the total production volume in 2020, except for Sweetsop (Annona squamosa) and pineapple.

Pineapple is not a fruit peculiar to Taiwan, but originally originated in South America, and it seems that it was introduced to Africa, Asia, the South Sea Islands, etc. in the 16th century, and then to Taiwan from the south of China in the 17th century. After that, during the Japanese colonial era, a canning factory for pineapples was set up in Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan, and I heard that the cultivation of pineapples for processing began in earnest.

Taiwan's first canned pineapple manufacturing plant was established in May 1902 in Fengshan, Kaohsiung. It seems to be the Okamura Otori canning factory founded by Shotaro Okamura. Then, in Taiwan, it seems that the canned pineapple manufacturing company was large or small jumble. In the early Showa period, which was nostalgic for a long time ago, the canning company unilaterally decided the purchase price of pineapple, so the income of the farmers was very unstable and the future was uncertain. At the beginning and end of the harvest season, the yield is low, so it sells at a high price, but by the time it reaches its peak, it seems that it was hit by dirt cheap. It seems that it is possible to harvest all year round every 18 months now, but it seems that there was no such technique at that time, and the producers had a lot of trouble. Therefore, this excellent agricultural product is also a lucky charm for Taiwanese.

Due to aging, the newly built Karatsu City Government Building has been completed, and the inauguration ceremony is being held on July 18, 2022. It seems that about 80 people concerned have celebrated the completion of the new government building, which was built on the same site as the government building of Karatsu City, which is 60 years old this year, due to problems such as earthquake resistance. The new government building is a seismically isolated 7-story building with a total floor area of about 17,000 square meters and a total construction cost of about 8.2 billion yen. It seems that it is possible to continuously respond to disasters unique to Japan, such as consolidating resident's cards and welfare-related windows on the 1st and 2nd floors, conscious of the ease of use for citizens, and equipped with an emergency generator that can respond for 72 hours. Karatsu City started some operations such as the Citizen's Division and the Tax Affairs Division at the new government building on July 19th of the same year. “Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture”, It is located in the northwestern part of the prefecture. The city area covers about 36 km east-west and about 30 km north-south, with a total area of about 487.60 km2. It occupies about 20% of the whole prefecture. The eastern part of the city is Itoshima City and Saga City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The southern part is Taku City, Takeo City, and Imari City. The western part borders Matsuura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, separated by Genkai Town and Imari Bay. The northern part faces the Genkai Sea.In the eastern part, the Sefuri mountain range slopes gently toward Karatsu Bay. The central part has a flat part along the basin of the Matsuura River, and the western part has a hilly Uwaba plateau. Karatsu Bay, which forms the land, has strip-shaped Matsubara and sandy beaches on both wings, and Takashima is located in the center of the bay.etc. Agriculture: Early paddy field remains including continental ground stoneware and carbonized rice were concentrated and discovered in the northern Kyushu region, such as the Itazuke site located at Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, Nabatake site located at Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, Magarita site located at Fukuoka Prefecture and Notame site located at Fukuoka Prefecture. The essence of art that connects the modern era to the future. Traditional ceramic art of ‘Karatsu ware’ dates all the way back to the Momoyama period. In the beginning of karatsu ware, cloudy straw ashes glaze was used frequently. But after the Meiji Restoration, karatsu ware lost the clan's patronage, and the number of kilns which canceled production increased, they doubted whether it continued. ‘Ichiraku 2 Hagi 3 Karatsu’ : Designated as a traditional Japanese craft along with the branch Takeo Kokaratsu ware. Tadazane's younger brother, the Lord of the Mikawa-Yoshida Domain (present-day Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture), and Tadatomo OGASAWARA (whose descendants were lords of Karatsu Domain, Hizen Province [present-day Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture] at the time of the Meiji Restoration) invited Sohen Yamada, one of the Four Heavenly King's (as the closest followers of the founder of the Sansenke(Omote, Ura, Mushakoji(Kankyuan))tea ceremony, SEN no Sotan, were known), to revive the matcha ceremony, though separately from the Ogasawara style. Tadazane(Shimousa Country Koga Castle-Mr. Fuchu Ogasawara)stayed the position as the lord of the Kokura Domain until the end of Edo period and the line of Tadatomo which was relocated to some places, was finally relocated to the Karatsu Domain, Hizen Province (presently Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture) holding 60,000 koku of rice and the line of Nagatsugu was finally relocated to the Anji Domain, Harima Province (presently Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture) holding 10,000 koku of rice as the result of change of rank due to misrule and extinction of the family line. Now, let's return to the story of mandarin oranges. This is a bud mutation of Wase-Miyakawa found by Hisahiko UENO(Wase Ueno Citrus unshiu)of Hamatama Town, Higashimatsuura District, (today's Karatsu City) Saga Prefecture in 1970, and was registered as a new variety in 1985.

Today, it is the largest producer in Japan. Harvest around the beginning of may when the open field mikan blooms. Cultivation with the four seasons reversed. Severe conditions such as scorching summer and intense cold winter. It is eaten in the summer and has a good balance of sweetness and acidity. The deliciousness of Mikan in Karatsu is a popular product among consumers. Ordinary open-field Citrus unshiu harvested from autumn. In addition, it will reach its peak during the year-end and New Year holidays. From greenhouse cultivation, the greenhouse is heated from around October. In order to make Satsuma Mandarin delicious with high quality, temperature and water management etc. Thorough cultivation management is very important. Behind the scenes is the producer's around the clock work and dedicated efforts. With single-minded efforts, the temperature inside the greenhouse in summer is high and beyond imagination. I might be saying the same thing again,but grow Satsuma Mandarin during the winter. Improve quality by making full use of technology cultivated over 40 years. It's a work of art created by a group of professionals, and it's fun every year. In the jurisdiction, 152 farmers cultivate on about 80 hectares. JA Karatsu will hold a regular general meeting on June 28, 2022 at Hotel & Resorts Saga Karatsu (Higashikaratsu, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture), and the union leader will be the third term due to the re-election of officers due to the expiration of the term.

Shipment of greenhouse oranges from JA, which boasts the highest production in Japan, began on April 28, 2022 at JA Karatsu Citrus Fruit Sorting Plant in Hamatama-machi, Karatsu City. While the effects of high crude oil prices continue, we are aiming for shipments of 4,400 tons and sales of 3,450 million yen, which are on par with the average year, and are delivering to markets such as Kanto, Kansai, and Fukuoka. 170 households in Karatsu City and Genkai Town, Higashimatsuura District are cultivating on about 80 hectares. The peak shipment period is mid-July and seems to continue until late September. On the first day, one farmer in Genkai Town seems to have shipped about 300 kg of oranges. The average sugar content grows sweeter than 13 degrees, and workers sort it by color, shape, and size, pack it in a cosmetic box or pack, and deliver it to the people concerned and consumers with all their heart.

Soichi Yamashita, a teacher who has been engaged in agriculture in Karatsu City and has written various books as a "farmer writer" for about half a century, which I introduced at the beginning, will be hospitalized in Karatsu on July 10, 2022. It seems that he died at a city hospital. He was 86 years old. Soichi was born in Karatsu City in 1936 as the eldest son of a farmer, and has been engaged in agriculture since graduating from junior high school. He started writing when he was in his thirties, and has left over 40 works for about half a century, from novels to nonfiction. I really wanted to tell you, so don't forget anyone who sympathizes with a great way of life like him.

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.

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.
