The novel “Earth” is the only feature-length novel by Takashi Nagatsuka, serialized in the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun from June to November 1910, and published by Shincho Bunko in 1950. There is no hero in this novel, which depicts the life of a poor farmer who runs a peasant near the KINUGAWA River in Ibaraki Prefecture. It's a story of a family, so it's no exaggeration to say that each member of the family is the main character. What is depicted is the farmers and the natural environment surrounding them. The writing style of more than 100 years ago is a little different from modern sentences, and there are many things that can not be read without ruby (print [give] kana), and there are many Chinese characters; Kanji that I have never seen. An environment that you don't know is terrible. It may be the reason why we Japanese, who are alive in modern times, escape from their hometown and love for their own country and cannot talk with their predecessors.

【Major features】
The Joso Hikari Agricultural Cooperative (JA Joso Hikari) supports the farming and living of its members in two cities and one town, Joso City, Shimotsuma City, and Yachiyo Town, Ibaraki Prefecture. In the jurisdiction, the production of fruits and vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, pears, and watermelons and pig farming are flourishing, centering on the production of rice. In particular, pear production in Shimotsuma City has formed a major market-shipping production area that makes use of the organizational strength to ship almost all of it to the market. In Ibaraki Prefecture, which is the second largest producer of pears in Japan, Shimotsuma City is famous as one of the largest pear producing areas in the prefecture. However, in recent years, the consumption of pears has decreased due to consumers' departure from fruits, and the market price has been sluggish. Shimotsuma City is not an attractive production area for young producers because the name of “Shimotsuma Pear” is low in the market, and there are problems such as the aging of producers due to lack of successors and the decrease in yield due to aging trees. It seems. We aim to raise the name of Shimotsuma Pear and make it a pear that can be selected by the market. With that in mind, young producers and JA Joso Hikari first changed the soil preparation, such as using high-quality organic materials (horse manure) in a unified manner, and used eco-friendly pheromone agents as a way to prevent pests. Worked on. In 2008, a volunteer young producer formed the “Shimotsuma Pear PR Project Team”. We launched “Shimotsuma Kanjuku Pear”, which is particular about the texture and the original flavor of the pear. It is said that the producers themselves negotiated the transaction price directly with the domestic mass retailer buyers and put effort into the production area PR such as tasting PR at the store and holding a pear hunting event. The popularity of Shimotsuma Pear has risen, and the market price has gradually increased. Producers said around June 2018 that they were able to revitalize the production area. On the other hand, in anticipation of a decrease in domestic consumption in the future, it seems necessary to consider exports and decided to aim to develop overseas sales channels. Participated in the trade fair “SME Thailand Expo” held in Thailand in September 2013. We investigated taste preferences and suggested purchase prices using a tasting questionnaire. In October of the same year, 660 kg was exported to Singapore and a tasting PR was conducted locally, but the transaction ended in a single year. In July 2014, we visited Japanese restaurants in Bangkok, Thailand and held business talks. However, the amount of pears that could be exported remained small at 130 kg. It is said that the turning point came when “Jetro” Ibaraki opened in June 2014 while exports were sluggish. I was introduced to the “JETRO” business meeting in Malaysia held in September of the same year and entered immediately. Participated in advance business negotiation skill seminars and learned how to present prices and transaction conditions to overseas buyers. At the business meeting, I was able to meet Japanese company buyers who are interested in Japanese pears. In October of the same year, he also participated in the “JETRO” business meeting in Thailand. I got a good feeling that any business talk would lead to a transaction, but after returning to Japan, I did not receive a reply even if I sent an e-mail to an overseas buyer, so I was consulted by the director of JETRO Ibaraki. He immediately made an international call to the buyer to confirm his intention to trade, and as a result, he was able to export 260 kg of pears to Malaysia. However, he was still worried that the transaction would end in a single year. In April 2015, JETRO Ibaraki conducted a project to invite overseas buyers from Malaysia and Thailand. It seems that they realized the high quality by having them inspect the production site as well as the business negotiations. In addition, he thought that it was important to increase opportunities to actually meet with overseas buyers in order to continue transactions, and he said that he decided to go abroad directly when deciding price negotiations and export schedules. As a result, it was able to increase exports to 6.7 tons to Malaysia and 1.3 tons to Thailand. When I felt the need to develop a new export partner country in order to realize a further increase in exports, I was informed that the import of Japanese pears would be lifted in Vietnam. Aiming at January 2017, when the import ban will be lifted, the garden registration will be carried out ahead of the rest of the country. It seems that a trial export was carried out in March of the same year. In July of the same year, he participated in a business meeting hosted by JETRO in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and was promoted to many local retailer buyers for tasting. In Vietnam, we challenged to deal with local buyers and expanded to export 105 tons in the first year. Regarding local sales promotion, it is said that local consumers have received a great deal of interest by utilizing the “Japan Fair 2017 Ibaraki Prefecture Pear Promotion Event” held by JETRO in Ho Chi Minh City in September of the same year. Until now, we have been focusing on local sales promotion, increasing pear fans by picking pears for inbound tourists, and aiming for a production area selected from overseas. Business: Collection and shipment of fruits (pears, grapes, etc.) and vegetables, sales, market development, etc. Purpose: Export, Target countries / regions: Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Canada, Indonesia. “Long, slender eggplant club” : JA Joso Hikari-Agricultural production is broadly divided into rice-growing areas in the east and upland-growing areas in the western Sarushima plateau. In the past, paddy rice, wheat, upland rice, and Pear were actively produced. Since the period of high economic growth, vegetable production has increased as a suburban production area in response to the increase in urban population. The main production of Chinese cabbage was planted shortly after the war, and the production center was formed in earnest with the establishment of the vegetable price stabilization system in 1966. Currently, in addition to Chinese cabbage, horticultural crops such as lettuce, cabbage, and melon are actively produced, and vegetables account for nearly 60% of the sales of agricultural and livestock products, rice field. In addition, since the 1965's, there was a period when contract cultivation of leaf tobacco and tomatoes for processing was actively carried out in the jurisdiction, and since there are many production area markets and purchasers, it can be said that it is a production area familiar to contract transactions. Eggplants are rotated with other vegetables to avoid continuous cropping, and are also produced in combination with winter vegetables (Chinese cabbage, lettuce, cabbage, etc.). Considering that the market price continues to be sluggish and the price is not reflected even if differentiation is attempted, the ratio of contract transactions to the total shipment volume of long, slender eggplant is reduced to about 30% in order to diversify the risk of farm management. I want to. The association at the time of 2008 was composed of six producers as a subcommittee that responded to processing and commercial demand. At the “3rd Domestic Vegetable Production and Utilization Expansion Excellent Business Award” held on March 23, 2010, contract transactions were carried out for 7 years through strong cooperation between the three parties; long, slender eggplant club, National Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives Ibaraki Prefecture Headquarters Horticultural Department VF (Vegetable Fruit) Station (hereinafter, “Zen-Noh Ibaraki Prefecture Headquarters VFS”), Maruhachi Co., Ltd., in order to reduce distribution costs. Introduced a shipping form suitable for processing and commercial use, introduced cultivation technology that enables stable shipping for a long period of time, established a system for stable supply throughout the year in cooperation with production areas in other prefectures, and labor effort by simplifying standards. In recognition of its mitigation, it has been awarded the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Production Bureau Director's Award. It originated in India today and is cultivated in China around the 5th and 6th centuries. It was introduced to Japan around the 8th century. It was introduced to Europe in the 13th century and in North America in the 16th century, and it seems that it was not as important as other vegetables. Is it from a beautiful outline? In the Edo period, the technology to make the first eggplant in a little bit started. It seems that the shogunate issued a ban because it was bought and sold at such a high price. When it was introduced to Japan, it was called Kunlun Purple Gourd (Indian Purple Gourd). Cultivation begins under the name “Rangoku Eggplant” in the Shosoin document of the Nara period. It seems that it has reached the present with a semi-forced pry that it is converted from good taste in summer to “make” and “live” and is auspicious. The harvest time and season are from July to October. The decisive difference from the eggplants on the market is the green stems and calyx. It is a place where there are few seeds, the flesh is tight, and it does not easily crumble. It seems that there are 180 varieties of eggplant in Japan, probably because it has been cultivated in Japan for a long time. By the way, it is said that there are more than 1000 varieties in the world. “Slender eggplant”, A variety that is vertically longer than the ‘Senryo eggplant’. Since there is no bulge that protrudes long under the calyx (the part of the neck without seeds), it is possible to take a large number of the same size when sliced into round slices. Since the waistline is short, it does not easily collapse and looks good. Although it varies slightly depending on the place of origin, it gives the impression that the skin is relatively thinner than ordinary eggplants. “Yellow Zucchina” : Cultivation of zucchini began in 2001 in the Ishige district of Joso City. The JA Joso Hikari Zucchini Production Subcommittee, which was established in 2007, was designated as a production center for promoting fruit and vegetable brands in Ibaraki Prefecture in 2013. At first, Mr. Katakura, who is currently the chairman of the department, started cultivation by himself. It all started when I saw a lively zucchini producer in Nagano prefecture on TV. For two years, we repeated trial and error, such as how to use fertilizers and pesticides, and water management, and established the current cultivation method. Not only the selection of zucchini varieties, which are said to have dozens of varieties, but also insects and diseases, considering the cause and starting over again, it seems that such days continued. Zucchini requires a lot of fertilizer, but if you overdo it, it will bend and the fruit will be deformed. However, if the amount is too small, the fruit may become hard or the fruit may not be produced. It seems that it is very difficult to adjust the amount of fertilizer. The rest is water management. It's not good if it's too much, and it's not good if it's too little. It was said that this adjustment was difficult. It is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, and the country of origin is said to be Mexico. Later, it spread to Europe and the United States, mainly in Italy, and although it was still a new vegetable in the mid-1970s, it was widely popular. It looks like the genus Cucumis, but it is actually the same genus Squash as the pumpkin. Pumpkins eat ripe fruits, while zucchini eat immature fruits 5 to 7 days after flowering. Among the pumpkin family, it is popular as a healthy food because it has low sugar and starch and low calories. The fruits are cylindrical (long club-shaped) edible pumpkins, and most of the cultivars that are cultivated are green and some are yellow. Yellow lines tend to have few female flowers, soft pericarp, and are easily damaged. In addition to being edible, pumpkin is used in many fields for ornamental purposes, decoration, and feed, taking advantage of its unique shape. Spaghetti squash, which has been cultivated in Japan for a long time, is also a member of this group. Magnesium lime is sprayed and deeply cultivated at least 2 weeks before planting or direct sowing. A week ago, I dug a hole with a diameter of 30-40 cm and a depth of about 30 cm, put compost on the bottom, and put chemical fertilizer and superphosphate in the dug soil (2 handfuls of bitter lime per square meter (about 100 g). ), 1 kg of compost per hole, 1 handful (about 50 g) of chemical fertilizer (N: P: K = 8: 8: 8), 1 handful of superphosphate (about 20 g)) It is backfilled in, and the surrounding soil is collected to make a planting floor or a straight-sown floor with a height of about 10 cm. The distance between the stocks should be about 1m. Stand up and fix the stanchions to prevent the stems from breaking or the plants from being swung around by the wind. There is no need to trim the branches because there are no vines. It removes old leaves and diseased leaves, improves ventilation and daylighting, and suppresses the outbreak of diseases. When the harvest starts, fertilizer is added every 3 weeks (from SAKATA SEED CORPORATION, which is headquartered in Tsuzuki Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture). “Joso City, Ibaraki Prefecture”, Located in the southwestern part of the prefecture, within 55 km from the city center. Tsukuba City / Tsukubamirai City is adjacent to the east, and Bando City is adjacent to the west. The north borders Yachiyo Town and Shimotsuma City, respectively. It extends about 20 km from north to south and about 10 km from east to west. I heard that the area is 123.64 km2.The altitude is about 5 to 24 m, and it has a Pacific climate. In addition, it is a calm and comfortable environment to live in throughout the four seasons. The Kinugawa River, a first-class river, runs almost in the center of the city.

The commuting area is expanding due to the shortening of the time required to reach central Tokyo. City trees, flowers, birds : Quercus glauca, Laurel forest, which has grown a lot as a virgin forest since ancient times. It is an evergreen, beautiful and powerful foliage, and is deeply rooted in the region. It is also planted as a hedge for wind and fire protection. Even, hard and sticky materials are often used for materials such as agricultural equipment. Since ancient times, he has been closely associated with daily life and has supported everyone. Cerasus Mill., It is a representative of Japanese flowers and is popular because of the beauty of the flowers. In particular, Cerasus jamasakura, which grows naturally on the plateau, is regarded as a symbol of agriculture. Since ancient times, it has been cherished with a deep connection to the lives of farmers. Cherry tree of Hachimanbori (Prunus yedoensis) : Sakura, which was familiar to the citizens, has disappeared, and there are many voices of its resurrection.We hope that the city will become a famous place for Cherry Blossoms again.Horornis diphone, A beautiful cry that conveys early spring. It is a familiar bird that has been called poetry since ancient times.The natural environment is good, and it seems that the cry is often heard even in urban areas. It is suitable for a city aiming for a natural city that is in harmony with such a beautiful environment. Joso Kinugawa River Fireworks Festival : It has been popular with the citizens for many years as a summer tradition. Since 2008, the name has been changed to the current name and the event has been held. The ten thousand fireworks are a masterpiece, and I have visited them several times.

Concerts that match the flowering time of cluster amaryllis have also been well received. Mitsukaido Climate Museum / Sakano Family Residence, Main house and Front gate (Yakui-mon) are designated as national important cultural properties. The drawing room（Gepparou）, which was built as a detachment, is valuable as a modern japanese architecture of Taisho era. It seems that it has been open to the public since 2001. Birthplace of Mr. Takashi Nagatsuka, A representative poet of the Araragi school, a student of Mr. SHIKI Masaoka. The author of the immortal work novel “Bauernliteratur ; soil, 1910.” Related to Mr. Soseki Natsume and Asahi Shimbun.

Prior to this, Shimotsuma Town, Taiho Village, and Tobanoe Village were merged on April 1, effectively merging one town and six villages. Then, on January 1, 2006, it merged with Chiyokawa Village, Yuki District and continues to the present day. In addition, the history of this region is old, and it is said that people have lived there for about 10,000 years, but the place name of “Shimotsuma” first appeared in the literature in 935, “Wamyō Ruijushō.” Furthermore, it was not until the Kamakura Period that the word “下妻” was written, and from that time to the present, it occupies an important position as the center of the west of the prefecture and has contributed to the region. Located in the southwestern part of the prefecture, about 60 km from Tokyo. It borders Chikusei City in the north, Joso City in the south, Tsukuba Science City and Chikusei City in the east, and Yachiyo Town in Yuki District in the west. Located at 139 degrees 58 minutes east longitude and 36 degrees 11 minutes north latitude, at an altitude of 23.40 m, it is famous as a garden city blessed with greenery and water. With a total area of 80.88 km2, it has a rectangular shape close to a square, most of which is formed of relatively fertile land, with a sand swamp in the center, the Kokai River in the east, and the Kinugawa River in the west, with abundant water resources. The average temperature in summer is 24 ℃, the average temperature in winter is 4 ℃, and the average precipitation is 175 mm in summer and 40 mm in winter. Mild climate. Mainly complex management that combines fruit trees (pears, etc.), vegetables (watermelon, Chinese cabbage, etc.) and livestock (pig farming, beef cattle, etc.) with paddy rice as the axis. Ibaraki Prefecture is one of the most popular pig farming areas in Japan, and Shimotsuma is especially famous as a famous production area. Since the pig farming industry has been active for a long time, there are many butcher shops in the city, focusing not only on meat but also on processing, and each shop is competing for taste. Pears, which represent the taste of autumn, are a specialty of the producers, and their main varieties are red pears, such as Kosui Pear with plenty of sweetness, Hosui Pear with a slight acidity, and Niitaka Pear with large and soft fruits. Among them, “Shimotsuma Sweet and ripe Pear”, which is a limited-time shipment of Kosui fully ripe on the tree, is a gem. After two years of trial production, “Pear Liqueur” that makes the most of the delicate scent of Kosui is also recommended for consumers. Blessed with water, land and climate, it is valuable as one of the leading rice fields in the prefecture. “Koshihikari” produced in the city is well-received by consumers as delicious and decorates the table. “Milky Queen”, which is now widely produced and has a pleasant texture, is said to have originated in Shimotsuma and is famous as a representative variety. In addition, while working on the development of processed agricultural products such as local beer, natto, ham, and sausage using locally produced agricultural products, we will also ship to the agricultural products direct sales offices of “Roadside Station” and “Yasuragi no Sato” Producing area consumption is being promoted. “Tabanka Festival” : It is a strange festival where you can get rid of disasters by bathing in sparks that can only be seen here in Japan. It is said that its origin is a drama of the fact that when the Daihoji-Temple Bettobo Kenryoin broke out in 1370 (Oan 3), the fire was extinguished using “Tatami; Japanese straw floor covering” and “Nabebuta; Pot lid”. It is said to be a drama of the story. Daiho Hachimangu（大宝; 主祭神: 誉田別命; 応神天皇; 足仲彦命; 仲哀天皇; 気長足姫命; 神功皇后） is famous as the oldest Hachimangu in the Kanto region. This Tabanka Festival, which is held here on September 12th and 14th every year, is also known as the “Wax Gourd Festival” and presents the wax gourd to the shrine. On the tatami mats arranged in a tomoe shape in front of the shrine and the pot lid in the center, “Kawarake (flat plate)” with rice and winter gourd is placed. It is said that a young man in white costume, who is the role of the festival, throws it in front of the hall of worship. It is said that the person who picks up the crushed Kawarake fragments at this time does not get sick, and the worshipers compete to pick them up. It is said that the name came from the banging sound that was emitted at this time. Next, the role holding Torch, who received the torch fire of Great Torch, runs around the precincts while swinging around. It is said that if you are exposed to the sparks of fire, you will be spared the disaster of fire, and worshipers and others will be bathed in cheers. 国登録有形文化財 : 建造物 : 二水会館(旧水海道町役場), 水海道天満町, 常総市, 平成9年12月12日. 五木宗レンガ蔵, 水海道元町, 個人, 平成12年 4月28日, 建造物 : 武道館(旧水海道小学校雨天体操場兼講堂), 水海道栄町, 常総市, 平成15年 7月1日. 下妻市教育委員会 2017 “市内遺跡7” 下妻市埋蔵文化財調査報告書13 : 千草Ｂ古墳群第3次; 高道祖字千草, 工業団地造成, 古墳, 古墳時代, 古墳6, 溝状遺構10, 土坑14, 性格不明遺構12, 縄文土器, 土師器, 埴輪, 土師質土器, 磁器. 山神西遺跡; 皆葉字柴野, 個人住宅建築, 集落, 奈良/ 平安時代, 溝状跡1, 土師器, 須恵器, 土師質土器. 柴崎遺跡第3次; 村岡字柴崎, 個人住宅建築, 集落, 縄文, 古墳時代, 溝状遺構1, 土坑2, ピット状遺構3, 縄文土器, 土師器, 磁器.

During the Nara Period, the Kinugawa River, which had been winding around the west side of the Kawanishi District, was renovated to form the current Kinugawa River. In the Heian Period, iron making was carried out at Ozaki Maeyama, farm tools and weapons were made, and a samurai corps was formed. It was around this time that the Taira no Masakado-Ko turmoil occurred, and even in Yachiyo Town, Kuriyama, Ashigaya, Hiratsuka, etc. are treated as battlefields. At the end of the Warring States period, the eastern half of the town, including Sugenoya, Waka, and Ozaki, was under the control of Mr. Tagaya, and from the north to the west was under the control of Mr. Yuki. In the Edo Period, due to the change of lords, the Yachiyo area came to have a complicated control of Mibu territory, Koga territory, imperial fief, Hatamoto domain and so on. In the Kyoho period（1716-1736）in the middle of the Edo Period, Iinuma and Yamakawa Swamp will be reclaimed and Yoshida irrigation will be completed. After the abolition of the feudal clan after the Meiji Restoration, the municipality system was enforced in 1889, and the old villages of Anjo, Shimoyuki, Nakayuki, Nishitoyoda, and Kawanishi were born, establishing the foundation of the autonomy system. After that, with the aim of expanding the transportation economic zone and strengthening local administration and finance with the rapid growth after the war, in 1955, the former five villages and Sanwa village Narita merged to form Yachiyo village. With the enforcement of the town system in 1972, it became Yachiyo Town. It is located in the center of the Kanto Plain, southwest of Ibaraki Prefecture, about 60 km to the capital Tokyo, about 70 km to the capital city of Mito, and about 20 km to Tsukuba, a city where science and technology are concentrated. It is adjacent to Shimotsuma City across the Kinugawa River in the east, Koga City in the west, Yuki City in the north, Joso City and Bando City in the south, and National Highway No. 125 runs east to west in the center of the town. The terrain is 7.7 km east-west, 12.4 km north-south, and the total area is 58.99 km2. The terrain is generally flat, with paddy fields open in the eastern part and upland fields in the western part, with the mountain river flowing through the central part of the town as the boundary, and a small amount of flatland forest remains. Wide area above sea level (eastern end) 139 ° 51' (West end) 139 ° 57'(South end) 36 ° 07' (North end) 36 ° 14'58.99 km2 (East and West) 7.7 km (North and South) 12.4 km (Maximum) 29.8 m (Minimum) 18.7 m. Regarding the weather, the average annual temperature is around 14 ℃, and the annual rainfall is around 1,250 mm. In winter, the northwest monsoon blows, but the amount of snowfall is extremely small and the climate is warm. Taking advantage of the flat and fertile land, warm climate, and location conditions near the capital, agriculture is regarded as the core industry, and mainly vegetables, rice cultivation, fruit trees, livestock, and other suburban agriculture are being developed, and the main areas of the metropolitan area. Famous as a food production base. In addition, it is one of the leading horticultural production areas in the prefecture, and among them, Chinese cabbage boasts the largest production volume in Japan, and net-based melons are also cultivated, and pears have been designated as a brand production area（In 1992, Akuto Pear））in the prefecture. The town boasts one of the largest melon production in the country, and when the time comes, the scent of sweet melon overflows throughout the town. In recent years, in addition to outdoor cultivation, we have also adopted house cultivation to make sweet and delicious melons. From May to June, many varieties such as Prince, Kinsho, Homerun, Takami, and Quincy are cultivated as spring melons. Among them, Takami Melon, which is the most produced in the town, is a large ball, juicy and has a high sugar content, has a long-lasting meat quality, and is often used as a souvenir and is appreciated. From September to October, Earl's melon is cultivated as an autumn-suppressing melon. Earl's melon is cultivated with strict control of temperature, humidity, water, etc., and only one fruit is produced per plant, giving it a rare and luxurious texture with a smooth texture. As the name Akuto Pear suggests, it grew up in the sober land of the Kinugawa River, bathed in the pure sunlight. Kosui Pear is cultivated in August, Hosui in September, Akizuki in October, and Niitaka. Yachiyo Chinese cabbage is a hot pot dish that is often eaten in the cold season, and is a supporting role of the hot pot. The town boasts the highest production in Japan, producing autumn-winter Chinese cabbage and spring Chinese cabbage, and harvesting and shipping peaks from late October to mid-June. Autumn-winter Chinese cabbage has a softer fiber when exposed to frost, and the sugar content of the leaves increases, so the sweetness also increases. Spring Chinese cabbage is characterized by its freshness and fluffiness. Vitamin C is not lost even when salted, and good intestinal bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria are produced, so there are great expectations for an intestinal regulation effect. In addition to melons, pears and Chinese cabbage, the town produces a lot of delicious vegetables throughout the four seasons. In addition, because it is flat and has good water access, rice cultivation is also popular, and the far-reaching golden countryside occupies about 40% of the total crop harvest area. Chinese cabbage pickled in kimchi, which uses the highest production of Chinese cabbage in Japan, countryside miso, which uses locally produced soybeans, and rich, handmade natural brewed soy sauce that takes advantage of the blessed climate and water quality, have gained popularity for consumption. In addition, there are many flavors of hometown such as handmade dried natto and chewy udon, which gives a simple taste. 県指定建造物 : 佛性寺観音堂/ 仁王門（附観音堂宮殿1基/ 棟札1枚）, 2棟, 栗山, 佛性寺, 平29.12.25, 県指定彫刻 : 木心乾漆如来形坐像（付乾漆断片64片）, 1躯, 栗山, 仏性寺, 昭57.3.4, 県指定彫刻 : 木造十一面観音立像, 1躯, 大字八町, 新長谷寺. 八千代町教育委員会, 株式会社地域文化財コンサルタント 2009 “菱毛道西遺跡（大字平塚）” 八千代町埋蔵文化財調査報告書13 : 株式会社エフピコ工場建設に伴う遺跡の発掘調査, 工場建設, 集落, 古墳時代, 竪穴住居跡, 土師器: 坏, 甕他, 須恵器: 坏, 甕他, 石製品: 紡錘車他, 土製品: 土玉, 土錘他, 集落, 平安時代, 竪穴住居跡, 土師器: 坏, 甕他, 須恵器: 坏, 甕他, 灰釉陶器: 高台坏埦, 鉄製品: 釘他, 瓦片, 羽口.

クロロゲン酸: C16H18O9, Chlorogenic acid is a well-known antioxidative compound. We investigated the content and behavior of chlorogenic acid derivatives with DPPH radical scavenging activity in sweet potato prepared by various cooking methods. A significant correlation was obtained between the chlorogenic acid content and DPPH radical scavenging activity. While the content and activity in sweet potato cooked with water were substantially retained, roasting in a convection oven resulted in their lower retention due to the higher temperature of around 200℃. We propose that chlorogenic acid could be effectively taken in sweet potato when cooked in a microwave oven or steamed, and also simmered with the cooking water after boiling.（Institute of Nutrition Sciences, Kagawa Nutrition University with Kagawa Nutrition University, Journal of cookery science of Japan 2005）

In some cases, it was suggested that the anti-obesity effect was attenuated by “proline（Pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid）”.
アルギニン（C6H14N4O2: (S)-2-Amino-5-guanidinopentanoic acid）; Expected to help the body produce energy, increase growth hormone secretion, build muscle, and improve male function. Promotes fat metabolism to strengthen muscle tissue and promote height growth. TCA cycle: Adenosine Triphosphate（C10H16N5O13P3）, It enhances the function of the urea cycle in the liver and promotes the recovery of brain fatigue quickly. Ammonia（NH3）inhibits its function, but ingestion promotes detoxification. Expected to be effective as part of the Natural Moisturizing Factor（NMF）of the stratum corneum.
アラニン（C3H7NO2: 2-Aminopropanoic acid）; It is a synthetic raw material for sugar and has the energy generation function of the living body. The action of secreting the hormone Glucagon（Peptide hormone: 29 amino acid; In the Liver, it activates protein kinase a through binding to specific receptors and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP: cAMP-dependent protein kinase (Protein kinase A); Protein kinase（Phosphorylating enzyme）) production., which is secreted when blood sugar concentration is low and promotes the breakdown of glycogen（C6H10O5)n: Discovered as a liver component by Mr. Claude Bernard in Burgundy, France in 1856.
アスパラギン酸（C4H7NO4: Aminosuccinic acid, asparagic acid; The role of increasing the absorption of K and Mg and decomposing and promoting lactic acid. Located closest to the TCA cycle of the body, which is the place of energy production.）It is located closest to the TCA cycle（Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle: Citric Acid Cycle）of the body, which is the place of energy production. In 1937, German's chemist and doctor Mr. Hans Adolf Krebs finds the circuit. England: Received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1953. Discovery of the Ornithine cycle of Urea synthesis: A cycle that draws out internal combustion. Decomposes fat and lactic acid and converts them into energy（Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle）.
グルタミン酸（C5H9NO4: 2-Aminopentanedioic acid: In animals, it can be synthesized from non-essential amino acids, that is, other organic compounds. Discovered by Mr. Karl Heinrich Leopold Ritthausen in 1866 in the acid hydrolyzate of gluten, a wheat protein. It is famous as a raw material for glutathione and GABA (4-aminobutanoic acid). It can be biosynthesized from “2-Oxopentanedioic acid" and "ammonia（NH3）”. It conveys information to nerves by binding to and activating N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) -type receptors. D-serine（It has the enzyme serine racemase (SRR) synthesized by Glial cells（It acts to give an energy source to nerve cells in the brain and builds an energy environment: A cell that fills parts of the brain other than nerve cells and supports the functions of nerve cells from various aspects.）located in a specific region of the hippocampus.）regulates stimulus volume. It is believed that the Synapse connection will be strengthened, giving memory and learning. There seems to be a hypothesis that the diseases alzheimer dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are caused by too much stimulation of the “NMDA receptor”.）
グリシン（Glycocholic: C2H5NO2: Aminoethanoic acid）; In the Nerve system, it also functions as an amino acid (Collagen: Protein, Elastin（Elastic fiber）, Keratin（△Cystine）, Sericin（C30H40N10O16）.), which is mainly responsible for inhibitory synaptic transmission between the brain stem and spinal cord. The feature is that there are no stereoisomers（The opposite sex with different three-dimensional directions of atoms in space.）such as D-form and L-form. Not only does it improve the shelf life of food, but it also has a sweet taste and is used as a seasoning. Porphyrins（Porphyra; Hemoglobin as an oxygen carrier in human blood (Erythrocyte) is prominent.） related to the function of carrying oxygen in the blood and creatine（C4H9N3O2; A small amount in the brain.）essential for muscle exercise.
プロリン（C5H9NO2, SMILES: OC(=O)C1CCCN1）: The main composition of collagen（Protein; A polymer compound formed by linking (polymerizing) a large number of 21 types of amino acids in a chain: Hydroxyproline（C5H9NO3））, which is abundant in gelatin and animal skins.
セリン（C3H7NO3: 2-Amino-3-hydroxypropionic acid）; A raw material for Phosphatidylserine（C13H24NO10P, Phospholipid- Signal transduction）, a component of cell membranes. It is one of the important moisturizing ingredients to maintain the moisture content of the skin, and can be a raw material for “glycine” that is close to the same ingredient. It is the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF: Small molecules such as Amino acids, pyrrolidone carboxylic acids (and their salts), urea, mineral salts, organic acids (and their salts).) of the skin and is the most abundant in amino acid.
（Heating）グアニル酸: C10H14N5O8P, Guanylic acid enhances the umami-taste of glutamic acid. We analyzed the content of guanylic acid in tomato fruits of 11 cultivars before and after cooking. The contents were significantly higher in heated rather than non-heated fruit among all cultivars. To investigate the effect of heating on guanylic acid accumulation, we analyzed the content of guanylic acid and its degradation product, guanosine, in tomato fruits heated at temperatures between 25°C and 100°C. Based on the content of the two compounds, we speculate that the difference in quantity between the production and degradation of guanylic acid was the highest at 50-60°C, and that the maximum accumulation of guanylic acid occurred at 50-60°C.（Vegetable Pest Management and Postharvest Division, NARO Institute of Vegetable and Tea Science, Journal of the Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology 2015）
ナトリウム: Na; In the adult body, most of it is contained in extracellular fluid outside the cell. Approximately 50 % as salt (sodium chloride), bicarbonate, phosphate.About 40 % is present in the build and is slightly contained in the intracellular fluid. Functions such as osmotic pressure adjustment: Roles such as maintaining the amount of extracellular fluid. Normally, healthy people do not have a deficiency. It is possible to promote the excretion of sodium by taking vegetables and fruits that are high in potassium together. This is because it has been confirmed that taking too much increases the risk of swelling, thirst, high blood pressure, stomach cancer, and esophageal cancer.
カリウム: K; It interacts with “sodium”, which is abundant in extracellular fluid. It works to maintain the osmotic pressure of cells and retain water. After ingestion and absorption in the small intestine, it is transported to tissues throughout the body, most of which is excreted by the kidneys. It is maintained by regulation of reabsorption in the kidney, and the k concentration in blood is maintained between 3.6 and 4.8 meq / l. Together with sodium, it maintains cell osmotic pressure. It works to suppress nerve stimulus transmission, functional regulation of heart and muscle, and intracellular enzyme reaction（I have to add proton transfer equilibrium）. I heard that about 200g is contained in the body of an adult: Potassium.
カルシウム: Ca; In the body, the amount in cells and blood is strictly controlled. Tendency to move from bone to blood as needed. About 99% is stored in bone, but also in the blood of cells and muscles. If you don't get the calcium you need, you risk mobilizing large amounts of calcium in your bones and weakening your bones. To maintain normal blood calcium levels, it is necessary to take at least 1000-1500 mg daily. Parathyroid hormone（PTH）and Thyrocalcitonin（Made by the cells of the thyroid gland, hormones have the function of lowering the calcium concentration in the blood by delaying the breakdown of bones.）; It is made up of four parathyroid glands behind the thyroid gland in the neck. As the calcium concentration in In blood rises, the amount of hormones produced by the parathyroid glands tends to decrease. It stimulates bones to release calcium into the blood and reduces the amount of calcium excreted by the kidneys into the urine. Increases calcium absorption by stimulating alimentary canal to increase calcium absorption by promoting the activation of vitamin D in the kidneys.
マグネシウム: Mg; Vinegar has been known to solubilize insoluble calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in food, however, the difference in solubilization ability among various kinds of vinegar has not been investigated. In this study, solubilization of Ca and Mg from coral powder and beef bone powder was compared with several kinds of vinegar. Calcium solubilization was observed to be high in grain vinegar, cider vinegar and wine vinegar, and low in rice vinegar and un-polished rice vinegar. On the other hand, magnesium solubilization was high in rice vinegar, wine vinegar and cider vinegar, and low in grain vinegar and un-polished rice vinegar. Calcium solubilization of coral powder was significantly negatively correlated with the pH of vinegar, while Mg solubilization was not.Comparison of solubilization of Ca in un-polished rice vinegar and acetic acid solution suggested that the phosphorus content was also responsible for solubilization in un-polished vinegar. These results suggest that ingredients in vinegar, as well as acidity and pH, affect solubilization of Ca and Mg from food when cooked with vinegar. Characterization of Solubilization of Insoluble Calcium and Magnesium with Various Kinds of Vinegar, Nakano Central Research Institute, Nakano Vinegar Co., Ltd. and Department of Applied Biological Chemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Tohoku University with Nippon shokuhin kagaku kogaku kaishi = Journal of the Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology 45(11), 655-662, 1998-11-15）
リン: P;（Leakage in urine causes symptoms such as hypoproteinemia, decreased renal function, and hyperphosphatemia.）The amount of phosphorus per 1 g of protein contains about 15 mg, and the intake correlates with the protein intake. The role of combining and strengthening bones and teeth. Higher blood phosphate levels tend to make bones brittle. Calcium tends to combine and become coal in other than bones such as blood vessels and tendons.
鉄: Fe; It is attracting attention as one of the world's three major deficient micronutrients along with vitamin A and Iodine（I2; In 1811, Discovered by burning seaweed with potassium carbonate, which is the raw material for potassium nitrate by Bernard Courtois（仏）.）Non‐heme iron（Fe）（Included in vegetables, eggs and milk.）; By taking it with foods rich in high-quality protein and vitamin C, the absorption rate into the body is improved. Fe shortage of women due to blood loss, a big problem for expectant mother and lactating women whose demand increases. Due to the metabolism of the body, about 1 mg of iron（Fe）is lost in adult men and about 0.8 mg in women per day. Ferritin（A globular protein complex consisting of 24 proteins.）has a role of suppressing deficiency and excess, and is also called stored Fe. About 90% of anemia is iron deficiency, which is deficient in fe, one of the important materials of hemoglobin.
銅: Cu; It has been known for a long time as a trace essential mineral, which is present in the human body at about 80 mg. It binds to proteins and plays a role in catalyzing a wide range of in vivo reactions. Tendency to be mainly present in bone, skeletal muscle and blood. Although it is involved in hematopoietic function as well as Fe, no reports have been heard regarding the adverse effects of chronic overdose, except for some diseases. Monovalent compounds exist as insoluble salts and complex salts. Divalent salts and complex salts are common. It is absorbed from the small and duodenum and transported to the liver through the portal vein. I hear that the lower the intake, the higher the absorption rate, and the higher the intake, the lower the absorption rate. Large amounts of divalent iron and tin ions competitively inhibit the absorption of copper from the gastrointestinal tract.Inborn errors of copper metabolism（Wilson’s disease）: Protein binding: Hepatolenticular degeneration. It acts as a Cu enzyme and acts as a catalyst for various reactions such as O2 transport, electron transfer, redox, and O2 addition. Important for Fe metabolism and transport, removal of active oxygen, and metabolism of neurotransmitters. Deficiencies can result from hereditary malabsorption or are acquired, but are not found in the normal life of healthy people. On the other hand, cases of symptoms are given to Babies whose main source of nutrition is low-content milk. Insufficiency may cause anemia, leukopenia, and bone abnormalities that do not respond to Fe administration. In addition, there are decreased immune function, cardiovascular abnormalities, and abnormal cholesterol and glucose metabolism. However, this is less frequent.
マンガン: Mn; Functions as an enzyme activation and a component of metal enzymes. It is a silver-white metal with an atomic number of 25 and an atomic weight of 54.94, and its surface is oxidized in the air. I hear that 12（For a weight of 70 kg）to 20 milligramme is present in the body of an adult. It acts directly with many elements, gradually reacts with water, and is easily dissolved in acids. Absorbed by inhalation, oral or transdermal: Ingested from the diet, it dissolves as divalent by gastric acid and becomes trivalent by the oxidative mechanism of intestinal cells. It is absorbed, transported to the liver through vena portalis, secreted from the bile into the intestinal tract, and mostly excreted as feces. Since absorption competes with Fe, manganese tends to be less likely to be absorbed if the iron content in the diet is high. It is abundant in mitochondria, and is contained in high concentrations in pigmented areas in the body such as the retina, hair, and skin pigmented areas. It suggests specific and non-specific effects on many enzyme activities such as oxidoreductase, hydrolase, dehydrogenase, and transferase. It is also a component of arginine-degrading enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Examples include connective tissue and bone formation, inner ear growth formation, glucose tolerance, fertility, lipid metabolism, growth and involvement in brain function.
亜鉛: Zn; Zinc‐deficiency symptom: A state in which the zinc concentration in the blood is below 80 μg / dL to 130 μg / dL. Dermatitis, stomatitis, alopecia, pressure ulcer due to lack. Loss of appetite, developmental disorders, hypogonadism, susceptibility, dysgeusia, anemia, infertility, etc. Various symptoms occur and tend to improve with zinc supplementation.
モリブデン: Mo; In the human body, it acts as a component of the molybdenum enzyme that catalyzes the redox reaction. I've heard that hypervitaminosis is not a problem because it is relatively less toxic than other heavy metals. It dissolves in hot concentrated sulfur acid, but does not react with H2O, hydrochloric acid（HCl）, and dilute sulfuric acid（H2SO4）and does not dissolve. It is abundant in the liver and kidneys in the body and tends to be easily absorbed in the stomach and small intestine. Xanthine oxidase（NAD+-xanthine dehydrogenase）, aldehyde oxidase, and sulfite oxidase are known as constituents. Insufficiency often causes tachycardia, hyperventilation, night blindness, etc. due to long-term complete parenteral nutrition. However, I heard that the administration is expected to improve the symptoms. In healthy people, hypervitaminosis is not a problem in a normal diet because it is excreted quickly even if it is ingested excessively. Chronic poisoning can cause gout-like symptoms such as joint pain and hyperuricemia. Acute poisoning can cause gastrointestinal disorders with diarrhea, leading to coma and heart failure. It is abundant in cereals, legumes and nuts.

It looks like a cucumber, but it's a pumpkin companion. Green ones are mainly cooked and eaten. Zucchini with a yellow skin has a thinner skin and a softer taste than the green one. Impression that it is also suitable for raw food such as salad.
Zucchini requires a lot of fertilizer, but if you overdo it, it will bend and the fruit will be deformed. However, if the amount is too small, the fruit may harden or the fruit may not grow. It seems very difficult to adjust the amount of fertilizer. After that, water management is important, too much is not good, and too little is not good. It seems that this adjustment is difficult.
Zucchini needs to be handled with care, and it is easily scratched during management and harvesting, and once it is scratched, it cannot be commercialized. I heard that women who are delicate in handling are taking the lead in cultivating.
By attaching the branches and leaves that grow vigorously in the summer to the V-shaped thread, the sun shines to the center of the tree, and a stable harvest of high-quality eggplants with a deep purple color and luster. The V-shaped cultivation method is a cultivation method that attracts the branches of eggplants to the pillars that stand in a V-shape. It seems that there are advantages such as less scratches and less scratches.
Eggplants are rotated with other vegetables to avoid continuous cropping, and it seems that they are produced in combination with winter vegetables (Chinese cabbage, lettuce, cabbage, etc.).
