Solanum melongena is a shrub perennial of the Solanaceae genus. The place of origin is rich in the Northeast region of India. The functional component is “eggplant-derived choline ester (C7NH16O2 +: CH3COO (CH2) 2N + (CH3) 3)”. Choline ester is known as a compound in which a nutritional component called choline and an organic acid such as acetic acid are ester-bonded. A typical choline ester is acetylcholine, which is well known as our neurotransmitter. A system newly stipulated by the Food Labeling Standards based on the revised Food Labeling Law that came into effect on April 1, 2015. It is imperative that effective doses and effects be demonstrated in clinical trials and published in peer-reviewed treatises.

From 1555 to 1558, Masayori Takanashi, who succumbed to the pressure of Shingen Takeda to invade Kita Shinano, retired from Nakano and entered Iiyama Castle with the support of Kenshin Uesugi. He prepares for the Takeda army with the locals as a general, but in 1561 he entered Kasugayama Castle, and it seems that the locals protected Iiyama after that. Iiyama Castle is a flatland-mountain castle built on the hills on the west bank of the Chikuma River, and it is said that it used to be the residence of Mr. IZUMI, a powerful local clan who had a territory in Tsuneiwa Iiyama. It is said that Kenshin Uesugi rebuilt it as a defense base against the Takeda army during the Battle of Kawanakajima, and it seems that the Chikuma River was a solid castle that served as an outer moat (of a castle) with vallum arranged in a staircase pattern. In 1564, Kenshin re-entered Kawanakajima and challenged the confrontation with Shingen, but he remained only in the confrontation with him who had his headquarters in Shiozaki, Sarashina District (the 5th Battle of Kawanakajima), and Kenshin was forced to retire. Is presumed to have commanded the renovation of Iiyama Castle and strengthened its preparations for the Takeda army, which is thin in Echigo. In 1568, Shingen attacked Iiyama Castle in response to Shigenaga HONJO of Echigo, but withdrew because he could not capture it in front of Uesugi's reinforcements. After that, the Takeda army set up its headquarters at Naganuma Castle and attacked Iiyama Castle, but it was not able to break through the Echigo border. After the fall of Mr. Takeda, Kagekatsu Uesugi ordered IWAI Bicchu no Kami Nobuyoshi to make a full-scale contract, and the castle town was also set up. Currently, it is maintained as a castle ruin park and is also a famous place for cherry blossoms.

Since the Heian period, it has been cultivated as ‘Nasubi’ for over 1200 years. The etymology is “To grow up” because the number of fruits increases, and “Summer fruit” that can be harvested in the summer.
【Major features】
Iiyama has prospered as a transportation hub connecting Mountain country Shinshu and the Sea of ​​Japan for a long time, and has played a role as a distribution center for marine products such as salt and fish, and as an important station route in the development of Echigo and Dewa during the Yamato Imperial Court. It mainly refers to the area of ​​Yamato (Nara Prefecture) and Kawachi (Osaka Prefecture). Also known as the Yamato administration or the Yamato court. In recent years, the idea of ​​seeking the establishment of an ancient nation in the 7th century has increased, so it seems that it is often called the Yamato administration. In the ancient history of Japan, it is a nation before the establishment of the laws and ordinance system nation. The time of establishment differs greatly depending on whether the location is Kitakyushu or Kinki after the fall of the Yamataikoku; historical Japanese state thought to have existed during the late Yayoi period. Opinions are still divided among academics and researchers. During the Warring States period, it became a strategically important place as a front-line base when Kenshin Uesugi, the lord of Echigo, departed for Kawanakajima, and it seems that Iiyama Castle was built on the left bank of the Chikuma River in 1564. The city formation of Iiyama was centered around Iiyama Castle, and it seems that the function as a castle town was gradually improved as the castle owner changed several times. From the early to the middle of the Edo period, the logistics function using the Chikuma River and the highway leading to Echigo developed, and the newly reclaimed rice field was cultivated and the irrigation water was actively developed, which is the foundation of agriculture. Seems to have been established. After the Meiji restoration, it became Iiyama prefecture by the abolition of the feudal clan in 1871, and was further incorporated into Nagano prefecture, and the town system was enforced in 1889. With the enforcement of the Municipal Merger Promotion Law in August 1954 after the war, Iiyama City was merged with Akitsu Village, Yanagihara Village, Tozama Village, Tokiwa Village, Mizuho Village, and Kijima Village birth. After that, the city incorporated Ota Village and Okayama Village in 1956, and it has reached its present form. In 1893, with the opening of the Shin-Etsu Line that did not go through Iiyama, it gradually lost its function as a distribution base, and after that it developed mainly in agriculture, with local industries such as traditional crafts such as Iiyama Buddhist altars and Uchiyama paper(Originated in Uchiyama Village, Takai District, Shinano Province at that time. It is said that Kiemon Hagiwara learned how to make Japanese paper in Mino no Kuni in the early Edo period and returned to Uchiyama village to make Japanese paper. Made in the Oku-shinano region. As a side business in winter in heavy snowfall areas, papermaking technology has been developed to date. The feature is that it is made from 100% Broussonetia papyrifera.). However, during the period of high economic growth from the latter half of the 1955s, economic growth stagnated(It refers to the period from 1955 to 1972. After that, the growth rate dropped to the 4% level from the 1970s to the 1980s, and to about 1% after the 1990s.)due to the lack of conditions for industrial location and the handicap of being a heavy snowfall area, resulting in the outflow of population, mainly young people. Was multiplied. The city's culture and citizenship include the temple town culture that has continued since the Edo period, and the spirit of solidarity and cooperation that is typical of a snowy country. Along with the scenery of temples and shrines such as Shojuan (Rinzai sect myoshinji school) of the famous priest Shoju old man, ski resorts such as Madarao and Togari, and natural resources such as Chikuma River and Hokuryu Lake, the rich climate and charm suitable for Japan's hometown I'm making it. Iiyama City has a long north-south terrain with the Sekida Mountains in the west and the Mikuni Mountains in the east, centered on the Iiyama Basin, which extends to the alluvial plain of the Chikuma River, which is the lowest in Nagano Prefecture. With Madarao Plateau in the southwest, Nabekurayama in the northwest, and Hokuryu Lake in the east, it is a land blessed with many natural resources. The distance to neighboring cities is 36 km to Nagano City, 15 km to Nakano City, and 25 km to Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture. As the main transportation network, National Routes 117, 292, and 403 run in the city, and the JR Iiyama Line runs from Nagano City to Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture. In March 2015, the Hokuriku Shinkansen extended to Kanazawa, and the Hokuriku Shinkansen Iiyama Station opened. The climate is an inland basin type climate from spring to autumn. In winter, the seasonal wind from the Sea of ​​Japan creates an updraft due to the influence of the Sekida Mountains, which stretches from Mt. Madarao in the southwest to Mt. Nabekura in the northwest.  In addition, the changes of the four seasons and the richness of the landscape from time to time can be mentioned. Iiyama Chuo Marketplace Co., Ltd .: Since its establishment, based in Iiyama City, the center of Kita Shinano, the function of the production area market that contributes to the promotion of local agriculture and the business of importing fruits and vegetables from overseas have been developed, and the stability of fruits and vegetables in Kita Shinano. It seems that it has established a supply base. Based on the food distribution function cultivated over many years, it seems that it is aiming for further progress with local people by challenging new businesses with a view to overseas markets where growth is expected in the future. The area around Iiyama City is one of the leading producers of green asparagus, zucchini, shimeji mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms in Japan. For as long as five months, the snow that covers the fields has soaked into the ground, and from spring to early summer, asparagus with outstanding quality and taste has been cultivated and highly evaluated. We know that the role of the local market is to deliver it nationwide in a state and contribute to the promotion of local industries. Asparagus is an agricultural product that represents the city, which boasts the largest production in Japan. It is said that the reason why Iiyama's asparagus is so delicious and popular with consumers is that because it is a heavy snowfall area that represents the whole country, there is abundant meltwater in early spring and the temperature difference is large. There are two types of asparagus, green and white. The difference lies in the cultivation method, not the variety. White is said to fill up about 25 cm in height so that the young shoots are not exposed to light. It is yellowish white because it is cut from the root before the buds appear on the ground. If you grow it in the light, it becomes green asparagus. Zucchini began to be sold in 1993, and is now one of Japan's leading zucchini producing areas. It looks a lot like a cucumber, but it is well known that it is a member of the pumpkin family. Unlike pumpkins that eat ripe fruits, they eat immature fruits, so they look like eggplants that have a nice texture. The shape is elongated like a cucumber or round, and the colors are green and yellow. You can boil or bake it, but zucchini is especially good with oil, so it's better to use it because it's oily or tempura. At the Kita Saku Sales Office, from mid-May to late October, not only highland vegetables (lettuce, cabbage, Chinese cabbage), but also other items such as zucchini, with a view to expanding producers, delicious vegetables rooted in the region. We are working hard every day with the producers to supply the lettuce. As the first step, the Asama Kogen Community Cooperative is making “Salt ripening vegetables”. I hear that salt-ripened vegetables are vegetables grown in a mineral-rich field sprinkled with natural sea salt from Thanh Hoa, Vietnam. This salt is made by a unique salt-making method of crystallizing in seawater, and it seems that it contains almost no “nigari; bittern component” in its components. Vegetables grown in this salted field are said to grow into a sweet and soft taste with less harshness and green odor. Since the deliciousness of the vegetables themselves is enhanced, it is recommended for children who are not good at vegetables, and it is said that it will deepen the taste of food for a wide range of purposes, not limited to raw food such as sarada. Nagano Prefecture is famous as one of Japan's leading apple-producing regions. We handle various apples as the main variety of fruits. From mid-September to mid-October, Senshu, Akibae, Jonathan, Sunlight, Jonagold, World's No. 1, Shinano Sweet, Shinano Gold. From mid-October to March, there are various types of Fuji, Orin, and apples. Of the above varieties, Shinano Sweet and Shinano Gold are varieties that Nagano Prefecture is particularly focusing on. The northern part of the prefecture is a representative mushroom producing area in Japan. Among them, the production volume in the Iiyama region is said to be outstanding. Typical mushrooms are “Enoki Mushroom” and “Bunashimeji; Hypsizigus marmoreus”, but there are many other types such as “Eringi; King oyster mushroom”, “Pholiota nameko” and “Maitake; Grifola frondosa”, which are shipped from the distribution center to various parts of the country every day. In addition, naturally cultivated “Shiitake mushrooms” and “Pleurotus eryngii var. Tuoliensis” will be shipped for a limited time in winter. The company “adopts a packaging format that meets the needs of customers” at its own packaging center. In addition, it is said that it sells directly from the factory with a logo and appeals to consumers with its own design. The Ministry of Trade is said to be developing and importing raw materials for processed food agricultural products, mainly wild plants and natural mushrooms, from countries such as the People's Republic of China and Russia to food manufacturers. Since these raw materials are only consumed by individuals in the production area or in the consumer market in Japan, we have to rely on imports in order for many Japanese consumers to enjoy their precious taste. The company has been leading the industry by actively developing local natural resources for over 20 years. The most important agriculture of the city's representative industry is a high-quality rice production area where 4 to 6 people win a prize every year at the paddy field single crop rice taste contest international competition in heavy snowfall areas, especially in recent years, management bodies such as cluster farming and large-scale farming Farmers are consolidating farmland and promoting large-scale management. In addition, the facility cultivation of mushrooms, which started as agriculture in winter, and the cultivation of vegetables such as asparagus, cucumber, and zucchini, and field crops such as peony(Japanese flower language includes she sits and stands a peony and walks a lily.)and other flowers are also popular. In the northern part of the state-owned farmland development, Nabekura Plateau, large-scale upland farming such as radishes and carrots is also carried out on vast farmlands. The shopping streets that represent the city are formed around Kami town, Hon town, and Naka town in the city area, and around JR Togari Nozawa Onsen Station in the northern part of the city. In recent years, it seems that commercial agglomeration in the southern part of the city area, such as large suburban supermarkets along the Shizuma Bypass, is progressing. In order to secure a place for young people to settle and work, we are promoting the attraction of companies and support for existing companies, such as the creation of industrial parks and the enactment of the Ordinance for Promotion of Corporate Location. Currently, the information and communication machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, centered on companies located in industrial parks, accounts for nearly 70% of the total shipment value of manufactured goods in the city. The Iiyama Buddhist altar, which is designated as a traditional craft, is also famous. The Buddhist altar making, which started about 300 years ago, is blessed with a strong Buddhist belief, clear air suitable for lacquering, and moderate humidity, and continues to this day as a representative traditional industry of Iiyama. Pinus parviflora, cedar, and cypress are used for the wood. It is said to be very heavy because it uses a lot of thick wood. It seems that the old Buddhist altar can be revived by disassembling it, washing the parts, repainting, and washing. Also, one of the features is that gold lacquer is drawn here and there on the Buddhist altar, and it blends with the beauty of the metal fittings and gold leaf to create a unique taste. If you put gold leaf on the surface that has been wiped and wipe it with cotton, the foil will have a beautiful luster. This method seems to be the secret to keeping a beautiful luster forever. Then, lacquering is repeated three or more times. The persevering handiwork of painting gold leaf on the Buddhist altar reminds me of the tenacious hearts of the people of the snowy country. In Atago Town(On the street where covered alley is reproduced for about 300 m, there is an area called “Buddhist altar street” because there are many Buddhist altar shops, which is rare in Japan.), the northern part of the city, there is a Buddhist altar street with many shops, and it is said that it boasts one of the largest production volumes in Japan. Currently, there are about 150 Buddhist altar-related workers in the city, and it seems that about 1000 Buddhist altars are produced in a year. Pond Katsura: Located to the north of Mt. Kuroiwa, the flowers of skunk cabbage bloom as the snow melts in spring. The location is Kotobuki-Tozama, Iiyama City. So that's all for the introduction, I would like to introduce this product. Eggplant can be eaten all year round with various cooking methods such as pickles, roasted foods, fried foods, and simmered foods, expanding the cooking repertoire. The great thing about eggplant is the variety of eggplants. In addition to long eggplants, round eggplants, and small eggplants, there are a wide variety of white and green eggplants, and it is said that there are 3,000 varieties around the world. There is an eggplant that has been loved by the locals in the land. Vegetables that are especially closely related to the diet of Kita Shinano, north of Zenkojidaira. The local food “dumpling” in this area is made by cutting round eggplants into round slices, sandwiching miso between them, wrapping them in flour skin and steaming them. It seems that it is even said. In some areas of northern Nagano prefecture, it is still indispensable to offer oyaki of round eggplant to the Buddhist altar on the morning of the lantern festival on August 14th. The meat quality is dense and firm, and it is a popular round eggplant that has a strong taste and is delicious, and it is also called the original species. Obuse round eggplant is a traditional Shinshu vegetable. A large drawstring-type eggplant that weighs about 300 g each. Fruity with no lye. It was a phantom eggplant that disappeared from the market at one point, but it is said that the seeds protected by several farmers were revived about 10 years ago after the establishment of a preservation society. Known as “Hokusai Katsushika(An exhibition of hand-drawn paintings, a magnificent ceiling painting, and Hokusai's atelier will welcome you in the place where you performed your creative activities in your last years. Ukiyoe, such as “Fugaku Thirty-Six Views,” which was a painter of the Edo period and can be seen at the Japan Ukiyoe Museum, was world-famous and influenced French Impressionists such as Van Gogh. In addition to his ukiyoe, many works such as hand-drawn drawings, illustrations, and the art book “Hokusai Comic” remain. Hokusai, who called himself a “painter”, is famous as a rare genius painter in the history of Japanese art. )and Chestnut Town”, and recently as “Open Garden Town” in Obuse Town, which is visited by many people from all over the country, it is popular as another special product of this period besides chestnuts. Even though it is a round eggplant, the shape is not a perfect circle, but it is also called a drawstring type, and it has a charming appearance that spreads a little to the side and down. Originally, it has been cultivated since the Meiji era in a part of the village called Sannojima in Obuse Town. During the Taisho era, when it was at its peak, it was cultivated in 30 households, and it is said that it was cultivated not only in the northern part of the prefecture but throughout the country. Since this area is located on the coast of the Chikuma River, it is characterized by the accumulation of sediment from the upstream and the formation of new soil with each flood, which seems to have made it possible to grow eggplants that dislike continuous cropping every year. Things changed around 1955. When eggplants, which are easy to cultivate and can be harvested in large quantities, became widespread as a single new variety nationwide, the trend of the world seems to have flowed toward this new variety. Until then, it had been popular locally, but due to the characteristics that it is difficult to cultivate even if it tastes good and the yield is small, the number of people who cultivate it and the amount of production gradually decrease, and it has become a buried existence rice field. In addition, the amount that can be harvested from a single tree is very small, about 10 to 20% of the long eggplants that are currently widely available. However, it is as delicious as Kamo Eggplant in Kyoto, and is highly evaluated by cooks who handle selected ingredients from all over the country. Because the flesh is tightly packed, it takes longer than usual to cook. The cooked dish has a rich taste, but it has a mellow trolley and a faint sweetness that leaves a chewy texture. Shinshu Traditional Vegetable Certification System: In recent years, the aim is to focus on and dig up native vegetables. This is a certification system established in 2006 for the purpose of preserving and inheriting unique native vegetables from all over the prefecture that have been cultivated for generations in accordance with the local climate. The following year, the Obuse round eggplant was also certified, and it seems that more and more people will be loved and interested in this area for generations. Since Shinshu is a land with large regional differences in topography and climate change, 37 species of crops have been certified as traditional vegetables by February 2012, and 63 species have been selected as of February 2012. Where you are. According to the survey, as of August 3rd year of Reiwa, 49 groups (producer groups) of “Shinshu traditional vegetables” were certified as cultivated in traditional areas. The season is until the beginning of October, and it is sold at agricultural products direct sales offices in the town. You can bake it, steam it with ginger soy sauce, or put it in curry. Store at room temperature within 2 to 3 days, and if store longer, wrap it in newspaper so that it is not overcooled, or put it in a bag to prevent evaporation of water and place it in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator. It seems better to eat early. Last but not least, the taste of Round Eggplant is the same as that of ordinary eggplant, but the texture is different as the flesh ratio increases. I recommend you to taste it first.


Impression that the skin is soft and the flesh is dense and well-made.

The earthquake killed many lives, caused enormous damage to urban infrastructure and buildings, and caused direct damage to citizens. In addition, it is a well-known fact that the prolonged restoration has various effects on industry, urban functions, and livelihoods. Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake: From now on, 26 years ago, at 5:46 on January 17, 1995, a magnitude 7.3 occurred at latitude 34 ° 36'N, longitude 135 ° 02'E, and depth 16km in the northern part of Awaji Island. As a result of a damage situation survey conducted by the Japan Meteorological Agency Earthquake Mobile Observation Team immediately after the occurrence of this earthquake, it was confirmed that the seismic intensity was 7 in some areas of Kobe City. A direct earthquake that occurred inland. A very large tremor occurred near the destroyed fault, and the Hanshin area centered on Kobe City and the northern part of Awaji Island were severely damaged. At the Kobe Marine Meteorological Observatory in Chuo Ward, Kobe, the maximum acceleration of 818 gal (north-south component) was observed at that time. The human casualties caused by this disaster were 6,434 dead, 3 missing, and 43,792 injured, the worst and most serious damage after the war. Many of my friends and acquaintances feel sad. The Japanese never forget. Let's do our best from Kobe City! Proof of reconstruction! How much did we save our hearts, entrust our dreams to tomorrow's hopes, and talk with our friends? It feels like it's recent, but time is moving forward and ticking.

Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture, is located almost in the center of the Higashi Harima area. The village is born. On December 1, 1954, the six towns and villages of Ono, Kawai, Kuruzumi, Ichiba, Obu, and Shimotojo were merged and the city system was enforced. On April 1, 1956, Kubogi and Furukawa in Yashiro, Kato District were merged. Since ancient times, it has been steadily developing as a production center for abacus and household knives. Miki City is blessed with ancient history and nature, and “Harimanokuni Fudoki” (compiled in the early Nara period. Established around the first year of Reiki (estimated) 710- Around 720 (sequel to Nihongi: 713 (6th year of Wado)), the story of the ancient romance of Prince Oke and Prince 弘計 is recorded. The town where there is a castle of Mr. Bessho (Nagaharu (birth unknown ~ 1580)) who occupied 240,000 Koku in 8 counties of Higashi-Hari, and was devastated by the Miki battle, has been activated by the reconstruction measures of Hideyoshi Toyotomi, and now the commerce and industry have been activated. The foundation for the development of the hardware industry was laid. Due to the merger of Miki City and “Yoshikawa Town”, it became the main production area of ​​Yamada Nishiki (liquor rice) in both name and reality. Japan's “Mushroom” is from Wakayama Prefecture. Mr. Hikosaburo Morimoto succeeded in epoch-making reproduction by artificial cultivation in 1912. In Europe, it was cultivated for about 250 years and was considered edible, but in Japan, only about 100 years ago. Until people didn't even know the name.

Rokko Champignon(HIGH QUALITY MUSHROOMS)
【Type】
Agaricus bisporus
【Production area】
Miki City and Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture (Senkokousan Co., Ltd .: Miyakodori, Nada Ward, Kobe City)
【Origin of the name】
Manure in ancient European stables, naturally occurring. It is said that it was eaten in France around the 17th century. “Champignon” In English, “mushrooms” refers to another name for brown varieties. It is probably named after the Rokko Mountains, which is located in the southeastern part of Hyogo Prefecture, from the west to the north of the city of KOBE.
【Major features】
Senkokousan Co., Ltd .: Established on October 11, 1941, business line, LP gas manufacturing, wholesale, retail, petroleum product sales, related equipment sales, LP gas supply facility design and construction, automobile auto gas sales, Cultivation and sales of gas stations and mushrooms, President Tomohisa Noda, Affiliated company: Senko Oil and Gas Co., Ltd., Customers: Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd., Astomos Energy Co., Ltd., synthesis Energy Co., Ltd., Itochu Enex Home Life Kansai Co., Ltd., Iwatani Corporation. Others can be confirmed from your company's website. The Kousan company representing Hyogo Prefecture was established in October 1941 as an artificial coal manufacturing plant of the Hyogo Prefecture Fuel Forest Products Distribution Control Association by the Wartime Control Ordinance. 1960, special contract with Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd., started wholesale of petroleum and propane gas. In March 1964, installed 2 LP gas storage tanks 10t x 2 and entered the field of taxi fuel in addition to household use Showa April 1941 Changed the company name to Senko Kousan Co., Ltd. In August 1966, an LP gas filling factory was newly established in Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture, and the sales channel was expanded as the Ono Branch. Opened and started handling gasoline. March 1989 Constructed a mushroom factory in the area adjacent to the Ono branch and started mushroom cultivation. This year marks the 33rd year of the mushroom business. In 1997, Miki Farm was established in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture. Expansion. Until now. What is Liquefied Petroleum Gas? In addition to being used as a heat source for homes by filling it in a large cylinder, it is also filled in the gas cylinder of a cassette stove, which is effective in the outdoors and during a power outage, and is one of our familiar energies. It has taken root as a general term for gases made from propane gas and butane(C4H10: Discovered around 1849 by Edward Frankland, a chemist born in Churchtown, England. The 1852 theory of valence was well known in the chemical world and had a great influence on the subsequent industry.)gas. The difference from the city gas contracted by my company comes from the difference in the nature of the gas of these raw materials. The “liquefaction temperature” at which methane(CH4; Alkane(CₙH₂ₙ₊₂)), which is the raw material for city gas, becomes liquid is -162 ° C, which is an ultra-low temperature, while propane is -42 ° C and butane is -0.5 ° C, which are statistical figures. In addition, propane and butane can be easily liquefied even at room temperature if pressurized. Therefore, LP gas is filled in a cylinder in a liquefied state, transported to each household, etc., and is consumed as a gas at the time of use. On the other hand, city gas is supplied as gas through a gas pipe buried underground. LP gas, which depicts daily life, is used not only for business purposes such as homes and restaurants, but also as a heat source and fuel for industrial and automobiles, and as a raw material for making synthetic resins and rubber. Also, since it can be easily carried by filling it in a cylinder, it seems that it is supplied all over the country including mountainous areas and remote islands. The city gas conduit accounts for only 7% of the national land area, and in 2019, the number of households using LP gas exceeded the number of households using city gas in 32 of the 47 prefectures. It is a “distributed type” that can be filled in a container and installed where it is needed, and tends to operate independently without the use of electric power. For this reason, even when the power supply is cut off due to a disaster, it can still exert its full potential. It is a distributed energy that can operate independently and is extremely resistant to natural disasters. It can be read from the experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake. It occurred at around 14:46 on March 11, 2011, and was located around 130 km east-southeast of the Oshika Peninsula in Miyagi Prefecture off Sanriku, with an epicenter of about 24km in depth. In the event of a disaster, especially according to the statistical data of the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy under the jurisdiction of Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, it is important how to survive the three days (72 hours) after the disaster. In fact, by the time the Self-Defense Forces and others began to provide assistance, heating and cooking using the inventory of LP gas under the eaves was carried out at evacuation centers in various places, and it seems that they played a role in saving lives. In addition, because it is easy to install, it was also used as the main energy for power generation, air conditioning, cooking, and hot water supply even in temporary housing built for disaster victims. In recent years, the utilization of LP gas as a self-defense “stockpiled fuel” has been promoted to further strengthen resilience. I like the field of chemical energy, so I will write more about it on another occasion. Senko Kousan Co., Ltd.'s commitment: Mushrooms, cultivation system with pesticide-free and organic fertilizer, and medium with pesticide-free and organic fertilizer that does not use any chemical fertilizer. The basic raw material is straw (mainly horse manure). Organic nitrogen products such as soybean meal, cottonseed meal, and chicken manure are used as auxiliary ingredients. Gypsum (improvement of breathability / PH adjustment) is used as the adjustment raw material. It also incorporates high-tech cultivation techniques from the Netherlands and Canada. We invited specialist engineers from the advanced mushroom countries of the Netherlands and Canada to Japan and improved the cultivation method to be optimal in Kobe and Rokkosan. In addition, by adjusting the annual cultivation amount in order to maintain the cultivation quality, stable deliciousness is provided. Rokko Champignon cultivation farms are located in Miki City and Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture, and are cultivated based on fresh and delicious water on the north side of Mt. Rokko in Kobe. We have adopted a cultivation system using pesticide-free and organic fertilizers that does not use any chemical fertilizers, and we are working hard to produce safely and securely at one of the largest cultivation farms in Japan. In addition, it is a production method that considers the environment and health, and is certified as a Hyogo recommended brand (Hyogo Prefecture has a vast prefectural land and is a “treasure of delicious foodstuffs” where many local villages, mountains, and seafood (special products) are produced. However, with the recent outbreak of BSE(Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a type of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE): TSE is also called prion disease, and is an infectious disease in which abnormal prions (infectious proteins) accumulate in nerve tissues. In addition to BSE, prion-induced diseases include sheep / goat scrapie and deer chronic wasting disease (CWD), and human Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is being studied as a similar disease. Has been done. A common feature of TSE is that the incubation period ranges from months to years. Pathologically, it is now widely known as a disease in which nerve cells of the central nervous system undergo spongy vacuolar degeneration. It is also a progressive, fatal nervous system disease. Abnormal prions are confirmed in affected animals and human brains, but it is also characterized by the fact that there is no specific immune response in humans or animals and inflammation does not occur. In Japan, since the outbreak of BSE in 2001, the establishment of a BSE inspection system and a system for removing specific dangerous parts at slaughterhouses (under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare), blocking of BSE infection routes by restrictions on feed raw materials such as meat-and-bone meal, and 24 months of age or older We have been working on measures such as the obligation to report dead cattle and the establishment of a BSE inspection system. At present, Japan has the highest international BSE safety rating (BSE status) at the L'Office international des épizooties (joined on January 28, 1930) general meeting held in May 2013. It is recognized as a country with “negligible BSE risk”.)and bird flu, and a series of food incidents such as false labeling of food, anxiety and distrust of food have increased, and the original taste of prefectural food has been fully evaluated. There was a difficult situation. In order to deal with this situation, the “Hyogo Food Certification System” was established in July 2004 to certify foods produced in the prefecture that are safe, secure, and have individuality and characteristics as “Hyogo Prefecture Certified Foods”. The council agrees with this purpose and is developing a business to expand the production, distribution and consumption of Hyogo prefecture certified foods. Products that have individuality and features such as production methods that take the environment and health into consideration, excellent texture and quality, and materials with regional characteristics, as well as compliance with laws and regulations and a production control system. Examination criteria are set individually for each attribute of agricultural products, livestock products, marine products, and processed foods, and it is necessary to undergo examination and certification according to those attributes. In addition to the screening standards for brands recommended by Hyogo, the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has been reduced by 50% or more, and residual pesticides and antibiotics have been reduced to 1/10 or less of the national standards. Food with a thorough sense of security. It seems that the examination criteria incorporate the concept of external certification such as HACCP(Support will be provided to small and medium food manufacturers, etc., by organizing human resource development workshops and providing technical information in order to further promote the improvement of control of food manufacturing processes (through hazard analysis and critical control point (HAACP) procedures.) and traceability(Visualize the part of “when, where, how, by whom, and what” the product was made, from raw material procurement to production, etc.).)that is given to foods of excellent quality. In addition, the high-tech cultivation techniques of the Netherlands and Canada and the use of hybrid inoculum from the United States have made it possible to harvest with a high-quality and stable annual plan. About Medium: Compost manufacturing developed its own open bunker system over 10 years ago. This method is said to be essential for small and medium-sized growers to succeed in mushroom cultivation, and is widely adopted all over the world. No, it will be a learning experience. It is difficult to secure basic raw materials and prepare compost, from the first stage of cultivation in Japan It seems that the company is using this bunker system for integrated production, although few producers are consistently producing until the final stage. Cultivation techniques and equipment include the early Canadian method and the current Dutch method. Recently, it seems that a computer-controlled automatic watering device has been introduced from the Netherlands. As a result, efficiency is improved 10 times, and accurate irrigation is possible, which seems to be leading to an increase in yield. The story goes away from the mushrooms that are produced with great care, but what is magic mushrooms? A common name for mushrooms that cause hallucinogenic effects. A type of so-called poisonous mushroom that is abused mainly by dried mushrooms. The abused magic mushrooms seem to be mainly thought of as the following mushrooms. The following are Psilocybe cubensis (Japanese name: Minamishibiretake) and Copelandia cyanescens (Japanese name: Panaeolus cyanescens). Research data show that magic mushrooms contain narcotic ingredients such as psilocybin and psilocin (also known as psilocybin(C12H17N2O4P)and psilocin(C12H16N2O)). Continued abuse can lead to dissatisfaction and abuse of other drugs such as stimulants and cannabis. In the warning from the Bureau of Social Welfare of Tokyo, it has become a big problem in recent years to abuse mushrooms containing psilocybin or psilocin (so-called “magic mushrooms”), which are designated as narcotics, for hallucinogenic effects. Poisoning and accidents suspected of being caused by magic mushrooms have also been reported, and some have died. He told me not to show much interest. After that, the Japanese government revised the “Government Ordinance Designating Narcotics, Psychotropics and Narcotics and Psychotropic Ingredients”, and from June 6, 2002, it has been regulated as a narcotic raw material plant. Then, what if I should eat it? The narcotic ingredients psilocybin and thyrosin act on the central nervous system, causing excitement, paralysis, and hallucinations of the central nervous system. The main symptoms are hallucinations, drunkenness, frenzy, fever, etc., which appear to appear 15 to 60 minutes after eating. Two weeks to four months after eating, the “flashback phenomenon (relapse phenomenon)” in which mental symptoms such as hallucinations reappear due to drinking, stress, lack of sleep, taking other drugs, etc. often occurs. In addition, acts such as import, export, cultivation, transfer, hand over, possession, application, and advertising are against the law. Violations can result in imprisonment and fines. Don't forget! Now, let me introduce one special cooking process of Rokko Champignon. Easy pasta with mushrooms and garnish: Ingredients (for 2 people) 5 mushrooms Pasta 200g 3 garnishes Salt and pepper A little olive oil A little parsley, Lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Boil the pasta with plenty of hot water and salt. Put olive oil in a frying pan, fry the sliced ​​garlic and transfer the aroma to the oil. Heat slowly until the garlic is colored, and when the aroma is transferred to the oil, remove the garlic once. Fry the mushrooms in garlic oil, which is made over medium heat, and add salt and pepper to taste. Put the boiled pasta in a frying pan and fry on medium heat while adding about 1 ladle of boiled juice. Add the removed garlic, mix, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and add lettuce and cherry tomatoes if you like. The other day, I learned and practiced it myself, but it was delicious without any delay. Come on everyone! Last but not least, Rokko Champignon is a mushroom belonging to the genus Agaricus in the family Agaricaceae. Is the function of maintaining and maintaining physical health an intestinal regulation effect? It tends to relieve bad breath and body odor due to deterioration of the intestinal environment, and it is clear that it is attracting the most attention. In addition, because it contains a large amount of potassium, it has the effect of preventing hypertension and suppressing cholesterol levels. There are data that suppress the production of harmful putrefactive products that cause aging by adjusting the intestinal environment, including the balance between good and bad bacteria. For this reason, it is highly expected to have the effect of eliminating bad breath and fecal odor, and is also used as a long-term care food for the elderly in Japan. It is also expected to strengthen the function of the kidneys and suppress the progression of renal failure. By reducing bad bacteria and increasing good bacteria in the body, it balances the intestinal environment, helps worsen the intestinal environment such as unpleasant odors and constipation, and is expected to be effective in releasing stress. In order to eliminate the daily irritation and anger of modern society, it is recommended to take it in small amounts. Don't forget to do pre-meal sports and physical exercise.

It is said that in 1907, Mr. Chozaemon Yamamoto of Katsuragi Town ordered 50 “Fuyu” seedlings from a farm in Tokyo and planted them in paddy fields. In the same year, the Kudoyama Town Hall bought Fuyugaki saplings from Gifu prefecture and planted them in Kosawa. After that, it is recorded that Mr. Koichi Okuda of Hashimoto City was introduced in 1921 in Nyuno (currently Kawabe Town) in 1923 and in Ozu Village in Naga District in 1925. At that time, the introduction of no flat core. In November 1921, Mr. Koichi Okuda of Hashimoto City introduced 18 types of astringent persimmons from the Wakayama Prefectural Horticultural Experiment Station, and as a result of testing, it is said that Hiratanenashigaki is abundant and suitable for the area. After that, in 1925, it is recorded that seedlings were purchased and planted in Kudoyama Town and Katsuragi Town.

Yukimura participated in the war as a Toyotomi clan and was called “the best soldier in Japan” for the first time in a battle that put Ieyasu in a difficult situation, but there is also a theory that he “gentlely extended his head” around the end. In recent years, a copy of a letter written by Munetsugu NISHIO, the gunner of the Echizen Matsudaira family who participated in the 1615 summer camp as Tokugawa, was confirmed at the Fukui Prefectural Library. I heard that it was done. During the Siege of Osaka, he served Ieyasu's grandson, Tadanao Matsudaira. In the letter he sent to another vassal, Jinzaemon YAMAGAMI, during the Genna year, four to seven years after the summer camp, he said, “I met Mr. Sanada at the horse's tip of the lord, met him, and captured him. I will give it to the lord paramount (Ieyasu).” 旧藩士諸家覚書之写-松平文庫福井藩政史料目録: Was it copied or compiled in the early Meiji era? The person (predecessor) at that time is a solid proof. YASUKUNI Shrine attends the indispensable lantern festival every year: Since the arrival of Perry in 1853 at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, military personnel and civilian employees who have been killed in national affairs, such as domestic and foreign incidents and wars, are enshrined as “spirits of war”. Toast at the end of Nobushige-Ko, where he was resting his tired body leaning against a tree in the precincts of Yasui Shrine (Tennoji Ward, Osaka City).

【Product name】
Kinokawa persimmon
【Type】
Diospyros kaki Thunb.
【Production area】
Hashimoto City, Wakayama Prefecture, Kudoyama Town, Ito District, Koya Town, Katsuragi Town
【Origin of the name】
It is a special persimmon cultivated by Wakayama prefecture, which boasts the largest production volume in Japan, by taking time and effort to remove the tree. The Kinokawa River flows from Nara Prefecture to Wakayama Prefecture and supports the entire region as the main stream of the first-class water system that flows into the Kii Suido. The name of the river is from the ancient name “Kii Province”, and it seems that it was named to differentiate it from other production areas.
【Major features】
Persimmon is a famous natural doctor. The predecessor's teaching, “A Persimmon a day keeps the doctor away", Is great. After the unusual heat of the day (summer), a refreshing autumn begins. Kinokawa persimmons are “Hiratanenashigaki persimmon” or “Tonegaki persimmon” produced in the area along the Kinokawa River in Wakayama Prefecture and cultivated by a special method. These are actually astringent persimmons that are used to remove astringency as they are before harvesting. “Wase Tonegaki Persimmon” is a young tree that was cultivated from the root by “Yoshitami TONE” in Tenri City, Nara Prefecture, which was broken by the Isewan Typhoon that occurred in 1959. It is a variety that was born by being attached to a tree. Originally the same variety as Hiratanenashi persimmon, but it is also a variety that grows 10 to 15 days earlier than “Hiratanenashigaki persimmon”. Mr. Yasushi(Tamotsu)Iwahashi of Momoyama Town, Naga District, Wakayama Prefecture (currently Momoyama Town, Kinokawa City) applied for registration in 1978, and in 1980, the variety was registered based on the Seedling Law of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. The size of the fruit is about the same as that of “Hirataneshigaki”, the fruit shape is oblate, the cross section is square, and the skin color is slightly darker orange than “Hirataneshigaki” and glossy. The calyx of the fruit is smaller than “Wase Sugita(Trained by Kiyoshi Sugita (1904-1993), who crossed Sado Island from Echigo in 1918 as an agricultural technician. He worked hard on the island's agriculture and persimmon cultivation, and was appointed as an agricultural technician in Ogi Town, a town in the southwestern part of the island. The high level of technical guidance in the town was bought, and in 1927 it was promoted to the Hamochi Village Agricultural Association in the neighboring town of Hamochi. In the same year, the Great Depression, which originated in the United States, caused a stock market crash in 1930. With the fall of the “cocoon market” as a fuse, the prices of agricultural products collapsed one after another, which had a great impact on rural areas in various parts of Japan. The following year, a terrible crop occurred due to cold weather, mainly in the Tohoku region.It was full of unemployed people, and in rural areas, selling Aoda (buying rice before harvest), selling girls, and skipping children became serious pro  blems. A discourse by Kiyoshi, a fruit that anyone can make and save everyone in the village. He is a person who has influenced not only Sado City, Niigata Prefecture, but Japan as a whole, no, the world, on the way.)”, and the tip of “Wase Sugita” is thicker and sharper than the elongated and sharp point. In addition, the color of the flesh, the quality of the flesh, the difficulty of de-astringency, the shelf life after de-astringency, the floweriness or the presence or absence of seeds, etc., do not seem to be different from “Hirataneshi”. The maturity period in the breeding ground (Tenri City, Nara Prefecture) is from September 20th to October 5th, but it is expected that the period will be slightly different due to annual climate change. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in climate change due to anthropogenic factors due to concerns about global warming, which is said to be caused by an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to the large consumption of fossil fuels. The recent view by the Japan Meteorological Agency is that the factors include natural factors and artificial factors. Natural factors include changes in the ocean, increases in aerosols (fine particles in the atmosphere) due to volcanic eruptions, and changes in solar activity, as well as those inherent in the atmosphere itself. In particular, the ocean, which occupies 70% of the earth's surface, exchanges heat and water vapor with the atmosphere through the sea surface, and fluctuations in ocean currents and sea surface temperature have a great effect on the movement of the atmosphere. On the other hand, human factors include an increase in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide associated with human activities and aerosols (sulfates, black carbon, organic carbon generated by human activities such as industry and agriculture and biological activities, and wind. There is an increase in soil dust and sea salt particles that are blown up by the plant, and deforestation). An increase in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide raises the surface temperature, and changes in vegetation such as deforestation affect the water circulation and the amount of solar radiation reflected on the earth's surface. I have some doubts, but if I have the opportunity, I would like to express my own sensibilities. As for Hiratanenashigaki persimmon, it will be easier to understand if you check the partially dried Japanese persimmon, which is a specialty of Koshu, Yamanashi prefecture, which I mentioned yesterday. The tradition of “Kinokawa kaki persimmon” is to remove the astringency of "Hiratanenashi persimmon" as it is made of wood. The cultivation method is to cover each persimmon with a plastic bag containing “Solid ethyl alcohol” before the “Hiratanenashigaki persimmon” begins to color, leave it as it is for about a day, and then cut off the lower half of the bag. , Waiting for the persimmons to color and being harvested. Ordinary “Hirataneshigaki persimmons” are harvested in a bitter state and then put in a de-astringent storage to remove the astringency, but in the case of “Kinokawa Kaki persimmons”, the astringency can be removed while they are still made of wood, so the sweetness is higher. Fruits that become stronger and contain brown sugar when the persimmon is cut (black sesame-like grains (persimmon tannins; By changing to C2H4O (eternal); acetaldehyde (tannin binding), antibacterial action, skin irritation, atopic dermatitis. In addition, it is expected to be effective by absorbing even a small amount in the body for atopy, athlete's foot, periodontal disease, and UV protection.) that look like shaken sesame seeds). It is cultivated only in the Kihoku region of Wakayama, and it seems that it takes a lot of time and effort because each bag must be covered. It is characterized by its crispy taste and sweetness like “Fuyugaki persimmon” : Completely sweet persimmon, harvest time is expected from mid-November to late November. The skin color is red. The fruit weighs about 280 grams. The sugar content is about 15 to 16 degrees. The flowering period is about 3 days later than that of “Wase Matsumoto Fuyugaki(Around 1935, he discovered a sport of “Fuyugaki” in the field of Mr. Yutaka Matsumoto in Shigasato Village, Ikaruga, District Kyoto (currently Ayabe City). Harvest is expected from mid-October to early November. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry certification was registered as a name in 1952.)” persimmon, and the flowers are only female flowers. The characteristics are that the fruit shape is good and the balls are well aligned, and the juice is abundant and the taste is excellent. Good astringency and wide adaptability to the region. Since there are some persimmon calyxes, it is important to manage the water so that it grows smoothly. Of great interest is the pruning of the resulting tree. Side branches are placed from the main branch and sub-main branch, and the branches on the side branches are said to bear fruit. I heard that if these side branches are used for many years, thick branches will increase and there will be no fruiting branches inside the crowded trunk, so it will be renewed in about 4 to 5 years. To renew the side branches, the sudden branches (long branches) generated from the main branch and sub-main branch are used, but the upright strong branches generated from the upper surface of the branch are removed, and the moderate branch generated from the side surface and slightly upper surface is used. It seems to do. As a result of the occurrence from the side branch, it seems that the maternal branch is organized and left in the required number. As a result, the maternal branch varies depending on the variety and the conditions of the garden, but it seems that Fuyugaki has about 5,000 to 6,000 and Hiratanenashigaki has about 6,000 to 8,000 per 10 ares. In order to produce large fruits, it is desirable that the side branches hang down a little as a whole when the fruits bear fruit, and it is advisable to pay sufficient attention to the timing of side branch renewal and how to select side branch candidates. In addition, in the case of such a tree type, it is said that leaving the long branch at the tip of the branch as a maternal branch leads to large fruit production. JA Kihoku Kawakami consists of Hashimoto City, Kudoyama Town, Koya Town, and Katsuragi Town (total area 463 km2) located in the northeastern part of Wakayama Prefecture. Adjacent to Osaka Prefecture, the south is a region with abundant nature and historical culture, looking up at the world heritage Kii Mountains and Mt. Koya. It seems that residential areas and rural areas are becoming mixed and part-time jobs. The main agricultural products are the best persimmon production in Japan, summer fruits such as plums, plums and peaches, and skewered persimmons((Example) Yotsumizo persimmon: Completely astringent persimmon, harvest time In mid-November, it is a slightly reddish orange with a pericarp color. The fruit weighs 150 grams and has a sugar content of about 19 degrees. The flowering period is about 2 days later than that of Hiratanenashi. Female flowers are easy to reach, and male flowers grow a little as the tree ages. High parthenocarpy and fertility. The flesh is dense, not powdery and has a good taste. Excellent shelf life. The quality of dried persimmon is excellent because it is viscous and has a high sugar content. However, some coloring unevenness occurs, and the astringency is slightly inferior to that of Hiratanenashi.)and Sciadopitys verticillata that take advantage of the difference in altitude are cultivated in suitable areas. I am currently a scholar about fruiting management, which is important for growth, but I hope to be able to describe it again in the near future. Next is the creation of important soil. For deep cultivation, it seems desirable to add organic matter (soil improvement material) to improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil. However, since deep cultivation may cause root breakage, it is desirable to keep the position about 2 m away from the main trunk and go around the canopy in 3 to 5 years. Regarding fertilizer application, first of all, soil preparation such as deep cultivation and organic matter application is carried out to promote the expansion of the root area and the use of natural nutrient water, and the amount of fertilizer application is reduced by that amount, and the fertilizer does not have a rapid fertilizer effect. It seems desirable to use organic fertilizer as the main ingredient. The fertilizer is applied in the order of description, with the early harvests of “Wase Tonegaki” and “Hirataneshigaki” from late September to early October, and “Fuyugaki” from mid-October to late October to absorb the original fertilizer as efficiently as possible. I heard that early to mid-November is appropriate. Lastly, regarding irrigation, persimmons are deep-rooted but have low drought resistance, and if the change in soil dryness and humidity is large, various physiological disorders such as calyx are likely to occur, as mentioned earlier. Since the period from July to August is the period when the photosynthetic activity of leaves is the most active, it seems that it is preferable to dry the soil during this period to reduce the photosynthetic activity and suppress the fruit enlargement. In addition, since the amount of precipitation is small and the amount of transpiration is large during this period, it is easy to be damaged by drought. It seems that it is important to try to suppress the transpiration of soil moisture by using droughts and grasses. Let me introduce a little inside the jurisdiction of JA Kihoku Kawakami. On March 1, 2006, Hashimoto City, and Koyaguchi Town of Ito District were integrated to form Hashimoto City. It belongs to the Setouchi climate zone. Compared to Wakayama City, etc., the annual temperature difference is large, the climate is inland, and the amount of precipitation is relatively small. We continue to create a peaceful and bright modern garden city that is in harmony with the clear stream of the Kinokawa River and the beautiful green mountains. Improve lifestyle, education, welfare, and medical care with the recent large-scale Residential area development. Keep in mind a refreshing administrative-citizen dialogue. Realizing a town development where you can experience the blessed natural environment and the richness of harmony. Large-scale housing development on the river terrace that connects the Kongo Katsuragi Iwawaki mountain range in the north. The southern part is connected to the production area of ​​the Kii Peninsula and approaches the Kinokawa River. At the southern end is the scenic spot Tamagawa Gorge. It is famous as a town where the production of “spatula rods” by Japanese bamboo occupies more than 90% of the national share. Wakayama prefecture Traditional crafts No. 1 designated as a local industry that can be proud of in the world.etc. Kudoyama Town, Located in the northeastern part of Wakayama prefecture (Ito area). It is famous as a mountain town at the entrance of Mt. Koya. It is in contact with Koya Town, which has Mt. Koya, which was opened by the founder of the Shingon sect, Kobo Daishi. Yukimura SANADA is an ordinary name for Shigenobu SANADA in the novels and kodan storytelling that were popular in and after the Edo period. Although he is widely known as “Yukimura SANADA” due to the influence of kodan storytelling, there are no historical materials from the years when Nobushige was alive, including letters written by Nobushige himself, in which the name Yukimura is used. Because the name Yukimura spread within 100 years after Nobushige's death, it is assumed that he actually called himself Yukimura, inheriting Kataimina (taking a character from a person in the family) of Masayuki SANADA after Masayuki's death. It is said that “Sanada Juyushi,” famous as ninja of Yukimura SANADA, have their origin in the title of an omnibus of “Sasuke SARUTOBI”, a book in the “Tachikawa Bunko” series, which was based on “Sanada Sandaiki” and “Nanba senki” and lauded throughout the world in the Taisho era. The place where I spent the longest time in my life for 14 years before I left for Osaka. Exchanged ueda city(Former Sanada Town), Nagano Prefecture as a friendship city since may in 1977. In autumn, the special product “Fuyugaki Persimmon”, which boasts the highest quality in Japan, is popular mainly in Keihanshin. However, without exception, the wave of declining birthrate and aging population is rapidly coming, and agriculture is also in short supply of successors. Since 2006, “Tourism” has been positioned as a new pillar of industry after Agriculture. Each site included in the World Heritage Site is visited by many tourists as an object of worship. kishukudoyama Sanada “Fagopyrum vulgare”, etc. 


Wakayama's specialty has a sweetness with great care. When Miscanthus sinensis blows in the wind and you can hear the footsteps of winter, there are bright red fruits that are finally harvested in the mountains of the Kinokawa basin that flows through the fruit town. It is a persimmon that boasts the largest production in Japan. Now, in the autumn Kinokawa area, the colors of persimmons and autumn colors create a brilliant scenery. Born and raised here, Kinokawa Kaki is a very delicious handmade persimmon that is made by carefully hanging vinyl sachets on each astringent persimmon and removing the astringency on the tree.



The JA Kihoku Kawakami mascot character “Kakitan” is a god who appeared on the way to Kumano Kodo Street from Mt. Koya, and was born to promote the sales of persimmon, which is a special product.

Hiratanenashi persimmon, a specialty of Koshu, Yamanashi Prefecture, has been transformed into a partially dried Japanese persimmon by rich nature and skilled producers! It is an autumn daily routine that Japanese people are looking forward to tasting this ingredient every year.

It is true that seeds have been excavated from the remains of the Jomon and Yayoi periods, but the amount seems to be increasing as the times change. After all, did continental culture come and spread as it spread? Also, it is thought that the large persimmons as they are now came from China during the Nara period. In Japan, there are persimmons that have been cultivated for more than a thousand years, and many are sung in Japanese poems and haiku poetry. Among them, Hitomaro's Mr Kakinomoto has a family relationship with Kasuga, Oyake, Awata, Ono, etc., with Ameoshitara Shihiko no Mikoto, the prince of the 5th Emperor Kosho(Empress Yosotarashi Hime), as the ancestor, according to Kojiki. (Newly Compiled Record of Clan Names; 815 CE) states that the name of Kakimoto came from the fact that there was a persimmon tree in the family gate during the Emperor Bidatsu era. Cultivation was encouraged during the Nara period, and it seems that there were a large number of varieties that grew naturally in various parts of the Japanese archipelago except Hokkaido. Hitomaro's work may have only one tanka, but in many cases, long songs and tanka are combined, and several tanka songs are devised as a series, and the greatness of having a long composition can be felt. Also, regarding expression techniques, antithesis and makurakotoba are frequently used rhetorically, and it is impressive that the traces of elaboration and sculpture are kept in each phrase. Overseas people may also be interested in Manyoshu (8th century anthology of Japanese poetry) (689-700), which represents Japan.

“Hiratanenashi Kaki Persimmon” : In the Shonai region of Yamagata prefecture, a farmer in Tsuruoka Town(In 1885, now; when Mr. Shigemitsu Suzuki of Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture purchased several kinds of seedlings from a merchant in Niigata and planted them, it is said that only one seedless persimmon was produced. It is said that a kind of seedless persimmon made in Niigata was mixed. “Choryo SAKAI” old man, who sensed the future of a mysterious seedless persimmon tree, cultivated seedlings and worked hard to popularize them, which produced the fruit (Shonai persimmon) that represents autumn in Shonai today. “Shonai Kaki persimmon” is not a carbon dioxide gas deastringency, but an old-fashioned manufacturing method “shonai deastringency” that emphasizes sweetness, and each one is carefully deastringent. It features a smooth texture and a rich, natural sweetness.), Yamagata Prefecture, cultivated a mixture of saplings that could not be seeded originally among the saplings purchased from a sapling dealer in Niigata Prefecture. It is said that it spread as. Now, the log of “Shonai persimmon” (Hiratanenashi Kaki persimmon) was found in the residence of Mr. Eisaburo Kawazu of Akiha Ward (former Niitsu city) in Niigata city, Niigata prefecture, and in 1962, “Hacchin persimmon” It is designated as a cultural property(In 1931, Koda's Kawasaki family's persimmon tree is recognized as a log because it is a seedling that does not depend on grafting. It is a large tree with a height of 16 meters, a trunk circumference of 2 m, and a branching area of ​​2 al. It is said that it bears many fruits every year even though it is an old tree estimated to be about 300 years old. As the name suggests, this persimmon is characterized by its seedlessness, and is said to be the sweetest of all the persimmons because it has a lot of juice and soft meat. Sado started producing this Hacchin; Eight delicacies persimmon as a product and shipped it to Hokkaido for the first time in 1936. Currently, it is cultivated mainly in Sado as the “Okesa Kaki persimmon” brand in the prefecture, and in Niigata city, Akiha Ward and Nishikan Ward are the production areas. It is said that Koyama, who was working for the Niigata Prefectural Office at that time, was named in 1909.)of Niigata Prefecture as a log of. “Hacchin Kaki persimmon” is called “Echigo seven wonders”, which is a collection of seven rare things that are handed down in Echigo (present-day Niigata prefecture), and means that the rare persimmon without seeds is the next eight rare. It is the name given by. It is called “Hacchin” in Niigata, “Shonai persimmon” in Yamagata, and “Okesa Kaki persimmon” in Sado. It is widely known as a seedless variety that is juicy, soft, and has a strong sweetness. Let's also introduce the persimmons that have been cultivated mainly around the Kofu basin in Yamanashi prefecture since ancient times. “Koshu Hyakume” was originally called “Koshu Monme”, and it is said that it got this name because it has a size of 100 monme (= about 375 grams). It is a bell-shaped, incomplete astringent persimmon that weighs more than 500 g when it is large. It is a variety that has been cultivated in Yamanashi prefecture for a long time. It is de-astringent and eaten raw, and it is also processed into dried persimmons. Also known as “hundred eyes,” “bee shop,” and “Japanese persimmon.” Carefully peel each “Koshu Hyakume” by hand, expose it to cold air on a drying shelf, and lay it flat to make a sweet dead dew persimmon. Peel the raw persimmon carefully and dry it in the sun, dry it for about 40 days and make it the highest peak that has been prized since ancient times. When dried, the astringency is gone, and when the astringency is gone, the sweetness is felt. The culmination of the predecessor's outstanding efforts. “Yamato Hyakume”, along with “Koshu Hyakume”, is popular as a raw material for large-sized dead dew persimmons that represent Yamanashi Prefecture to this day. It is also one of the many varieties produced in the southern Alps. The history of the “Yamato Hyakume” variety is said to have started with a persimmon tree in the bamboo forest of Mr. Tezuka of Kamiimasuwa, which is close to the Nishino area. Although it is said to be a substitute for branches, the size of the fruit is larger, the number of nuclei (seed) is small, and it ripens faster than “Koshu Hyakume”. When used as a “dried persimmon”, the flesh is very smooth and tasty, and the color tends to be vivid. Mr. Mitsuaki Tezuka of the Nishino area, who was fascinated by the persimmons of this tree, took the scion from the raw wood of Suwa and made it into a sapling. Around 1918, more than 100 years ago, 50 seedlings were planted near the current Momonooka housing complex, creating a rare persimmon garden. Returning to the story, the true identity of the astringent taste is Persimmon tannin. Among various plant-derived tannins, ”persimmon tannin” is a huge molecular structure in which four types of catechins (EC, EGC, ECg, EGCg) are bonded like a chain, and many “phenolic hydroxyl groups: (-OH) ”. Tannins are considered to have antioxidant and antibacterial effects, and are a member of the well-known “polyphenol” substances in recent years. It is recognized that it has a high deodorizing effect that eliminates the malodorous component from the original (root) by chemically binding to the malodorous component and changing to another component. Moreover, it has bactericidal and antibacterial effects that repel microorganisms and viruses, suppresses the decomposition and fermentation of sweat and old keratin, and can be expected to have the effect of suppressing the generation of foul odors. Among the six major carotenoids of “α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene”, only “β-cryptoxanthin” was found to have a significant lung cancer risk reduction effect. There are several reports of new bioregulatory functions that stand out from “β-cryptoxanthin”, such as a series of reports. “Zeaxanthin”, a type of carotenoid, has the function of maintaining the amount of macular pigment in the eye, and there are reports of improving the tone of the eye by improving contrast sensitivity and protecting it from light stimuli such as blue light. “Catalase” is a heme enzyme that is widely present in the body and decomposes hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The flesh is carefully squeezed and then dried, and the flesh has a deep yellow color that looks like golden and looks very elegant and beautiful. Partially-dried Japanese persimmon: Among the dried persimmons, the water content is relatively high, and the flesh is soft and sweet. As a guideline for drying in a well-ventilated place, dry the raw persimmons to 35% or less of 100 (depending on the size and condition of the persimmons) after peeling. However, no matter how good the conditions are at home, it will be difficult to improve the quality to this state. After all, it can be done by reading the weather and using skillful techniques. The Isazawa district of Yanagawamachi, Date City, Fukushima Prefecture is a famous place in Japan as the birthplace of partially dried Japanese persimmon. The Abukuma River, which went north in the central part of the prefecture, gently flows down the Fukushima Basin (Shindatsu Basin) in the northeast direction, and before reaching the gorge at the border of Miyagi Prefecture, when the northern coast of the river opens, it carries a mountain to the north. , It is a place between the river and the mountains. Persimmons have been cultivated in this area since the Edo period, and it seems that dried persimmons have been produced since that time. It seems that the persimmon tree was planted in Isazawa from 1751 to 1763. In the Edo period, Isazawa was called Kamiisazawa in the western half and Shimoisazawa in the eastern half. There is a person named Shichiemon in a cluster called Mine in Kamiisazawa, and it is said that this person brought a persimmon tree from somewhere and planted it, which was named Shichiemon persimmon here. Agriculture is the main industry in the region, and rice and sericulture are the main industries. Sericulture has been practiced for a long time, but I heard that there was a village headman and a village head who made a fortune, especially in the Edo period. It seems that it was shipped to Kyoto, Osaka and Edo under the brand Nobose thread. In the late Edo period, a breakthrough technological innovation in Yanagawa, Date District, led to the completion of warm-up education, and it seems that mass production of high-quality raw silk became possible. Of the 250,000 silk moth seed papers produced nationwide in the latter half of the Edo period, 180,000 are from the Shindatsu region (currently Date City, Date District, Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture). Isazawa, which was a village next to Yanagawa, was also very active in sericulture, and it seems that the economy was booming from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era. Even if it snowed, the peak period of shipment was not the off-season, and it seems that Date City tended to have few migrant workers thanks to the partially dried Japanese persimmon. Since it is a special product, it is less likely to lose its price than ordinary agricultural products such as vegetables and fruit trees, and I hear that it is a valuable stable income for producers. In the area, the climate with moderate amount of sunshine and large temperature difference may be suitable for persimmon cultivation. Although it could not be made during the Pacific War, it grew to represent the dried persimmon producing areas nationwide during the period of high economic growth, and played an important role in the former Isazawa village, then in Yanagawa town, and in Date city. I've done it. Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture merged with Enzan City, Katsunuma Town, Higashiyamanashi County, and Yamato Village on November 1, 2005.

The results of research show that people have lived in the land of Yamanashi prefecture for about 30,000 years. In the 12th century, Kai Genji emerged, and in the Warring States period of the 16th century, “Shingen TAKADA” dominated the unification of the world.

It is said that the dictation of Masanobu Kosaka, a military commander who served as an aide to Shingen, was written down by Masanobu's man, Soujiro Kasuga, and edited by Kagenori OBATA(It seems that he absconding in 1595 and traveled around the world to learn military art. He later belonged to the East Army of the Naomasa Ii Army and challenged the Battle of Sekigahara.)in the Edo period. The “Koyo Gunkan” (record of the military exploits of the Takeda family). I heard that it was made by It consists of a main volume consisting of 20 volumes and the final volume of the upper and lower volumes. Up to 18 volumes are mainly Shingen's achievements, and the remaining 2 volumes are mainly Katsuyori's achievements. The history of the Takeda clan's battle from Shingen to Katsuyori, family law, military law, and the customs and attitudes of the Koshu samurai are described in detail. Time changed, the Edo Shogunate was opened, and it seems that it was read carefully by the samurai of the Edo period. It was used to inspire and discipline oneself. It is a fact that while making the image of the samurai depicted as an ideal image, he sought out what the samurai should be in a peaceful world and elaborated the world-class spiritual culture of Bushido. What is talked about is martial arts on the battlefield, having dauntless courage work and inseparable. However, instead of a world without war, our close ancestors not only act as warriors, but also as officials of the public administrative organizations (shogunate government and clan) that govern the territory, thereby taking on a new social role. I will find out. That is, the functions of security and police, the creation of laws, the development of a court system, and enlightenment activities. These are samurai-like roles, but they are not limited to the development of transportation infrastructure such as the restoration of roads and bridges, hydraulic irrigation, newly reclaimed rice field development, cultivated land improvement, fire prevention and disaster prevention, disaster recovery, etc. It will also be responsible for fields such as breeding industry, hospitals and pharmaceutical affairs. It is conspicuous that he deceives people, thinks only about his own interests every day, forgets etiquette, and loses his respect for others. As a patriot with a global perspective, Inazo Nitobe (establishment of the foundation of Taiwan's sugar industry, proposal to eliminate racial discrimination, etc., 1862-1933) always considers Japan's prosperity, friendship between Japan and the United States, and world peace. Continued to send out with the aim of realizing. His life may be due to his respect for the good old the Soul of Japan, which values ​​duty, honor and homeland. He is an agricultural scholar and educator from Iwate prefecture, and has served as Deputy Secretary-General of the International Federation, President of Tokyo Woman's Christian University, and Professor of Agriculture, Tokyo Imperial University. It seems that the old samurai valued righteousness and were ashamed to move on the profit and loss account and calculation.

Contributed to Hakubunkan “Taiyo” Vol. 1, No. 5 on May 5, 1895. From “Yuku Kumo”, a work by Ichiyo (Ms. Natsuko) in his later years (23 years old). Lamenting her self and her future without her freedom, he sent her thoughts to her, who resembled her life, not because she entrusted her hope to escape from her destiny. However, without her illusion, she gives up on her reality and does not respond, and her pondered love chills over time and returns to her reality. I miss the loneliness of tearing like a cloud. My adaptive family (adopted child of a sake brewery) is Nakahagihara in Ofuji Village, and as far as I can see, Mt. Tenmokuzan(Tano at the southern foot of the mountain is where Katsuyori-Ko suicided)it shows a blemishes, it's cold in the winter without hesitation, and the fish and the fish and the fish take the Gori(19.6364 km)road to Kofu, and the sliced ​​raw fish of the tuna is finally in the mouth. Higuchi entered the Haginoya coaching school of Utako Nakajima at the age of 15 and learned waka poetry from the Keien school (represented by Kageki Kagawa (1768-1843), a poet in the late Edo period). His father died in the year, and he decided to become a professional writer in order to support the family's livelihood as a female poet. She is said to have been inspired by the fact that Kaho, who belongs to the same school, announced her “Yabu no Uguisu” and was welcomed by the literal circles. In 1891, she hit the gate of the exclusive writer Nakarai of “Tokyo Asahi Shimbun” and asked for guidance on novel production, and the following year she published her maiden work “Yamizakura” in the first magazine “Musashino” run by Tosui. In 1893, recognizing the difficulty of using the novel as a livelihood, he moved from Hongo Kikuzaka Town to Shitaya Ryusenji Town, which borders the Yoshiwara red-light district, and opened a general store. However, he went to Edo at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, and although his father became a status of samurai and became concentric, he became an official working for the Tokyo prefectural government at the time of the Meiji Restoration, and was also engaged in the financial and real estate businesses at the same time.

Shine Muscat
【Type】
Vitis L.
【Production area and jurisdiction】
Yamanashi City, Yamanashi Prefecture Koshu City Fuefuki City Kasugai Area (excluding Shizume, Ko, Tokujo District)(JA Fruit Yamanashi)
【Origin of the name】
Muscat comes from “musk” and means the strength and splendor of the scent. Also, when the color is ripe, it is close to yellowish green, so it shines.
【Major features】
“Shine Muscat”: A large, good-tasting diploid grape grown by crossing “Grape Akitsu No. 21” (Stuben × Muscat of Alexandria) with “White South”. The skin color is yellowish green, the flesh is disintegrating and hard, and the scent is Muscat scent. It is a new variety that was registered in 2006 as a new variety, which was born in the Fruit Tree Tea Industry Research Division of the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization. It's been only 15 years since it first appeared on the market. Since 2014, the cultivation area has become the fourth largest among grape varieties, and its popularity is rapidly expanding nationwide. It is a beautiful yellow-green large grape that can be produced without seeds. It has a sweet and muscat scent, and its high quality is attracting attention, as it has a thin skin and an excellent texture that can be eaten together with the skin and crumbles in the mouth. In addition, it has excellent characteristics that farmers can cultivate with peace of mind, such as easy cultivation and good storage of harvested grapes. It is a yellowish green that matures at about the same time as Kyoho. It is weak against Elsinoe ampelina, but has a certain resistance to downy mildew (Peronosporaceae: It is a water-type biotrophic phytopathogen containing 21 genera including more than 600 species. Parasitic on host plants as intercellular mycelium using Haustoria to invade host cells.) and strong resistance to downy mildew. Cold resistance is evaluated as Kyoho. The trees are strong and the yield seems to be higher than that of Kyoho. The grain weight varies depending on the cultivation method, but it seems that it can be cultivated to about 13g. It is easy to chew (disintegrate), has a hard meat quality, and has a high sugar content of 18% or more. The acid content is as low as 0.3-0.4g / 100 ml, and the aroma is Muscat aroma. In seedless cultivation, it is a little difficult to peel, but the skin is not thick and there is no astringency, so you can eat the whole skin. Like Kyoho, it generally does not split. It is harder to shed than Kyoho and tends to last longer. It seems that it can be produced as seedless grapes by spraying 200 ppm of streptomycin before flowering and dipping in inflorescence (fruit bunch) of 25 ppm of gibberellin at full bloom and 10 to 15 days after full bloom. Use about 4 cm at the tip of the spike. I heard that it is effective to add Fulmet solution at the time of the first gibberellin treatment to stabilize the grain formation. In an unheated house, seedless treatment (hormone treatment) on the lower 3.5 cm results in a triple bunch of grapes 10 cm long. Muscat, one of the representatives of historic fruits, is said to have loved Cleopatra. However, in Japan, where it rains heavily, it is difficult to grow European grapes such as Muscat, and the reality is that so-called Muscat-scented grapes have not been cultivated very often. It is a well-known fact that even when crossed with American grapes suitable for cultivation in Japan, the scent is generally peculiar to American grapes (similar to Kyoho and Campbell Early) and not the scent peculiar to Muscat. Meanwhile, “Shine Muscat” was cultivated by the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization over a period of about 30 years. It is growing rapidly as an epoch-making variety that can be cultivated in the open field in Japan while having the characteristics of European grapes that have a firm chewy muscat scent. Since it was registered as a variety in 2006, it has been attracting attention not only from grape farmers but also from consumers because of its deliciousness and ease of growing. However, because it was not supposed to be exported, the variety was not registered outside Japan. The International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants stipulates that fruit varieties registered outside the country should be registered within a certain period of time (6 years for grapes) after registration in the country, so the application was submitted in 2012. The deadline has passed. For this reason, there is a reality that it is legally cultivated outside Japan without the need for permission from Japan. The UPOV Convention stipulates basic principles such as protection conditions and contents of new varieties, minimum protection period, and preferential treatment for nationals. It was adopted in Paris, France in 1961, came into effect in 1968, and was significantly revised in 1978 and 1991. With the adoption of the new treaty draft at the treaty revision diplomatic conference, it is necessary to revise the relevant domestic laws corresponding to the treaty, and it is also reported that the seedling law revision bill will be submitted. Biotechnology has made dramatic progress in recent years, and is expected to become a core field of technological innovation in the 21st century, and the reputation of progress in Japan is rapidly increasing internationally. And it goes without saying that guaranteeing the rights of breeders is indispensable for sustaining this progress. In the past, it was repeatedly emphasized at the Diet deliberations related to the UPOV Convention and variety registration that the relationship between intellectual property rights and variety registration should be smoothly adjusted to avoid the harmful effects of dual administration. Not always satisfactory. It is an urgent task to summarize the conventional process at the opportunity of the revision of the UPOV Convention, clarify the goal, sort out the problems, and find the direction of the solution. Japanese politician. October 4, 1991, Submission Question No. 11, Question on the Protection of New Plant Species Proceedings, Submitter: Masao Yoshida. Former member of the House of Representatives of the Japan Socialist Party (1st term) and member of the House of Councilors (1st term). Only the minimum agreements in each country are stipulated, and breeders'rights (breeders' rights protected by the Seedling Law) must be acquired in each country. In other words, it does not mean that breeders' rights can be acquired internationally in a lump sum. Two years ago, in 2019, it was an international treaty to protect new seedlings, and 75 countries including Japan are members. Although many countries are members in Europe, the main member countries in Asia are Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Agriculture has multiple functions such as national land, environmental conservation, and living environment as well as food supply. Looking only at the food supply aspect, it is possible to improve productivity by using chemical fertilizers and chemically synthesized pesticides. However, if too much chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used for that purpose, soil and rivers may be polluted and the ecosystem balance may be disturbed. It is certain that it can go around and adversely affect human health. “Environmental conservation type agriculture” is a sustainable agriculture that takes advantage of the material circulation function of agriculture, paying attention to harmony with productivity, and reducing the environmental load by using chemical fertilizers and pesticides through soil preparation. The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides can pollute the land and destroy the ecosystem. It is good to plant cover crops (green manure) during the period when the crops are not cultivated for sustainable agricultural production in harmony with the environment. “Conservation Oriented Agriculture” : Organic farming, natural farming, alternative farming, low-input sustainable farming, etc. are included, but from the strictest standpoint of pesticide-free and chemical-free fertilizer cultivation, the use of chemical materials is not permitted at all. , There is a range to the position of reduced chemical fertilizer. The national government enacted the Sustainable Agriculture Law in 1999 to provide support by lending agricultural improvement funds to certified farmers and providing special measures for taxation of agricultural machinery. In addition, the law states that “agricultural production method with high sustainability” is “a rational agricultural production method that is recognized as contributing to the maintenance and promotion of the productivity of agricultural land derived from the nature of soil and other favorable farming environments.” Defined, specifically, technology related to the application of organic materials such as compost that has a high soil improvement effect, technology related to the application of fertilizer that has a high effect of reducing the application of chemically synthesized fertilizers, control of weeds and pests, etc. Among the technologies related to this, the ones that are highly effective in reducing the use of chemically synthesized pesticides are listed. GAP is an acronym for Good Agricultural Practice, which is usually translated as Good Agricultural Practice or Agricultural Production Process Management. GAP is like ISO (International Standard) and means the norms of production process control and hygiene control such as whether pesticides are used correctly, safe fertilizers are used, and they are washed with clean water. In addition, an agricultural management entity recognized as having cleared these norms by examination by a third-party organization can obtain GAP certification. Since GAP is a norm for process control, it is expected to have the effect of preventing problems and facilitating the investigation of the cause, compared to conventional result control. Now, let me introduce you to the climate and climate of Yamanashi. The shape of Yamanashi Prefecture is generally circular, with a length of about 90 km from east to west and north to south, and a total area of ​​4,465 km2. Except for the central Kofu basin, there are very few flat areas, and about 86% of the total area is mountainous. From the north to the east, the Kanto Mountains including Mt. Kobushi are connected, the Doshi Mountains and Misaka Mountains are connected to the south, the Akaishi Mountains to the west, and the steep mountains represented by Mt. Fuji in the south. The river basins in the prefecture are roughly divided into three first-class water systems, the Fuji River basin, the Sagami River basin, and the Tama River basin, which flow down from these mountains, and three second-class water systems, including Lake Motosu. It is located in the southern part of Fossa Magna (Shizuoka-Itoigawa Tectonic Line), and many fault branch lines are distributed around it. The oldest strata are the Shimanto Group, which was deposited from the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic Paleogene, and is distributed in the Southern Alps and the Kanto Mountains, and is subjected to severe folds. The next deposit was the Miocene Miocene Group of the Cenozoic Tertiary, which is mainly composed of green tuffs and is distributed in the Misaka Mountains and the Koma Mountains. Subsequently, from the Miocene to the Pliocene of the Cenozoic Era, the Fuji River Group centered on mudstone, sandstone, and conglomerate was deposited in the Gonan area. All of these are marine strata, and are fragile geology that is prone to collapse and landslides due to structural movements that accompany landing after formation. From the central part to the northern part of the prefecture, plutonic rocks (granite), which are thought to have invaded in the Tertiary period, are widely distributed. From the end of the Cenozoic III to the Quaternary, Mizugamori volcano, Kurofuji volcano, and Yatsugatake volcano are active one after another in the northern part of the Kofu basin, and these volcanic ejecta are deposited over plutonic rocks. The sediments in the Kofu basin are characterized by a predominant gravel layer and a small clay layer, indicating that the relative ground movements of the subsidence of the Kofu basin and the uplift of the surrounding mountains were intense. The climate is generally inland because it is surrounded by mountains, and there is a lot of rainfall in the summer, which is affected by the rainy season and typhoons. However, due to its complex terrain, its characteristics differ from region to region. I heard that the average temperature in Kofu is 15 degrees Celsius and the annual rainfall is 1,165.8 mm. Midai River hydraulic engineering business: The history of flood damage is old, and it is said that “Yamato Takeru no Mikoto was hit by flood damage at the time of the eastern expedition.” Is famous for having done. Shingen Takeda-Ko became the landlord of Kai at the age of 21 in 1541, but the following year, the Miteshi River flooded and the Kofu Basin became a riverbank. Having witnessed this, he felt the need for a hydraulic control project, and carried out hydraulic control work such as shogi heads and stone unloading, including the Shingen-Ko embankment, in an effort to enhance domestic affairs. These construction methods are said to be the ancestors of river and sabo engineering in Japan and are called the “Koshu Style River Defense Method”. At the top of the alluvial fan (Komaba, Minami-Alps City), Namoto was also built in a gantry pattern, and the flow was directed to the northeast. In Arino, Minami-Alps, a masonry embankment called Shogi-to was built to divide the torrent. About 500 m downstream, the water was split again by a shogi head to weaken the water force, and then joined the tributary Wappazawa. The somewhat weakened water force was merged with the Kamanashi River (Fuji River) and struck toward the high rocks on the opposite bank. Downstream to Takaiwa, a flat land extends from Ryuo Town to Kofu City, so a Shingen-Ko embankment was built to protect this. The earlier Midai River(Originating at Karamatsu Pass (GL = 1,650 m), which is connected to the Alps mountain range, it flows down Ashiyasu (formerly Ashiyasu Village) in Minami Alps from west to east and flows into the Kamanashi River (Fuji River). It is a 18.8 km first-class river. In the lower reaches, the Miteshigawa alluvial fan, which is known as one of Japan's three major alluvial fans, spreads, and one side of fruit tree farmland spreads out. On the other hand, in the mountains in the upper reaches, it seems that the mountain stream forms a V-shaped valley and has a steep mountain stream with a slope of January 10 or more.), which diverged upstream, was merged with the water that bounced off the Takaiwa, and the water was controlled by the water so that the water could flow through the center of the river. Landslide that occurred in 2000 (Yumura district, Kofu city): It occurs prominently in the geology of the Neogene Miocene, and is characterized by being deeply involved in the tectonic line. The distribution area is concentrated in the middle basin of the Fuji River from Nishiyatsushiro District to Minamikoma District and the Tsurukawa River-Katsura River basin from Kitatsuru District to Otsuki City. The landslide prevention area is an area designated based on the “Landslide Prevention Law(1958 Law No. 30)”, and it seems that the act of inducing and promoting landslides is prohibited in this area as in the case of sabo designated areas. Mt. Fuji is a volcano that has grown through repeated large eruptions in the past. In recent years, it has been in a calm state, and the recent eruption dates back to the 1707 Hoei eruption in the middle of the Edo period, about 300 years ago. The life of a volcano is long, and the rest period of about 300 years is only a moment for the volcano, and it is possible that it will erupt in the near future. From October 2000 to February 2001, there were many “Low Frequency Earthquakes” on Mt. Fuji, which are thought to be caused by the movement of magma beneath Mt. Fuji. This indicates that Mt. Fuji is a living volcano, and it can be considered that the sleeping Mt. Fuji is in a rough state. However, since February 2001, the number of low-frequency earthquakes has decreased, and there seems to be no sign of an eruption so far, but peace of mind is forbidden. It is known that people have lived in the land of Yamanashi prefecture for about 30,000 years. Kai Genji was born in the 12th century, and Shingen Takeda-Ko aimed to unify the world during the Warring States period in the 16th century. When the seclusion was lifted in the 19th century, it changed from Kofu to Yamanashi in the first year of the Meiji era, and has been rapidly modernized to the present day. It has been about 30,000 years ago that people's activities have been recognized on the earth. The primitive society progresses from the stage of hunting, catching fish, and collecting nuts to the stage of rice cultivation, and the unevenness is integrated to form a country. From the end of the 4th century, the Daimaruyama Tomb and the Saikozuka / Maruyamazuka Tomb were built, and it is speculated that a large force existed in the Sone Hill Hills in the Nakamichi district of Kofu City. Yamanashi in the 8th century is called Kai Province and consists of 4 groups of “Yamanashi, Yashiro, Kokuma, Tsuru”. , It is said that it was near Ichinomiya Town. In the 12th century, the system of the ancient nation by the Kuge fluctuated, and it was the samurai who emerged from it. Around 1131, Minamoto no Yoshikiyo-Ko and Kiyomitsu-Ko's parents and children entered Kai Province and came to Kai Genji. Among Mr. Kai Genji, Mr. Takeda, Mr. Ogasawara, and Mr. Nanbu prospered until posterity. In the 16th century, Mr. Takeda developed as a warring lord, built the Tsutsuji-gasakikan and the castle in Kofu, and based on this, proceeded with the four neighboring routes, aiming to unify the world. When Mr. Takeda was destroyed in 1582, the rule of Kai Province was transferred to Oda, Toyotomi, and Tokugawa, and the Kofu Domain (Kunichu) and the Yamura Domain (Gunuchiho) were established under the Edo Shogunate, but in 1724 the Shogunate was established. It will be under direct control. The development of Koshu Kaido and Fuji River shipping promoted the distribution of goods and the influx of culture. In the 19th century, due to the contradiction of the shogunate system, a lot of riots occurred in various places, and the Tenpo riot(It originated in the Gunuchiho district (Tsuru) in the eastern part of Kai, and spread to the Kuninaka district, causing a nation-wide turmoil. Also known as the Gunuchiho riot, Kai whole country riot, and Koshu riot. Kai Province was made into an imperial fief in 1724, and was controlled by the Kofu duty number and the third daikan who had jurisdiction over the town of Kofu. In the Kuninaka region, which embraces the Kofu basin, the development of newly reclaimed rice fields progressed in the modern era and became a breadbasket. , Was sent to Edo through Fujikawa Ship Transport. On the other hand, since there is little cultivated land in the Gunuchiho region, which is a mountainous area, there is a strong dependence on inter-farm work such as mountain earning and production of Gunuchiho, and the necessary rice grains are from all over the country, Sagami Province, and Suruga Province. I relied on imports. During the Kansei era, Kofu wholesaler friends weakened, rice dealers in Kajikazawa inn (currently Kajikazawa, Fujikawa-cho) bought up and the number of rice grains exported as rice was increased, and merchants purchasing from Shinano also advanced, so the rice price There was a soaring price. In the middle of the night of August 17, 1836, a farmer in Shitatani Village broke the rice storehouse in Yamura Village, which started the turmoil. Yamura Village is loved by Tanimura Daikansho, a business trip camp of Ishiwa magistrate's office, but Sanai Hashimoto-Ko, a former clerk, is absent. The villages are cracked down and collected. On the other hand, at the same time as the destruction in Tanimura, Takeshichi (Mr. Jizaemon) in Shimowada Village, Tsuru District (Nanahomachi, Otsuki City), and Inume Village (Inume, Uenohara City) in the same county, Torizawa Village (Inume, Uenohara City) When they joined in (Otsuki City), they planned a strong appeal for a reduction in rice prices and became the head of the riot. In addition, Dr. Taijun, the village head of Kuronota Village (Kuronoda, Sasago Town, Otsuki City), drafted the platform. Mr. Takeshichi was 70 years old at the time of Tenpo 7th year. His family of five had a height of Rokuto Ichiishi, but it gradually decreased and he was engaged in a quiet business. He also said that he was a boss who followed uninhabited and unreliable people. Mr. Hyo(Hei)suke was 40 years old in 1836. His surname is Mr. Mizukoshi and he is a family of three. He runs a Edo period lodging for travellers at Inume-inn. His name is “Paddy shop”. The management of the paddy shop has deteriorated since its predecessor, and Mr. Hyosuke has issued a divorce letter to his wife during the uprising. The trends after the turmoil of both Takeshichi and Hyosuke will be described later. Mr. Takeshichi and Mr. Hyosuke borrowed and lent rice and gold from “Unsuitable People” for the relief of the poor on a five-year basis, and were represented by the Kuninaka Village (Kasugai Town, Fuefuki City) and Mr. Okuuemon family. The plan is to have wealthy farmers in the country stop buying rice and release rice grains into the county. Mr. Okuuemon Okugawa of Kumanodo Village is a grain dealer who sells rice grains to the county, and it is said that he bought up rice grains during the Tenmei famine and was recognized as the cause of the soaring rice prices in the county. When both of them urged the gathering of the peasants in the county and led the county, they set out for the whole country targeting Okuuemon in Kumano-do Village, Manriki-suji, Yamanashi District, and smashed them all over the road. I returned to the village when I destroyed the house of Emon. Initially, the Gunuchiho were led by Mr. Takeshichi and Mr. Hyosuke, and were engaged in activities in accordance with the manners of revolt. Intensify and disorder. When the Chusei, led by the non-residents, separated from the Gunuchiho, they became mobs, armed with guns and bamboo spears, and deviated from theft and fire, forcing the villages to participate in the rebellion. When the national forces attacked Isawa-juku (Isawa Town, Fuefuki City) on August 22, they broke up into two, one heading from Koshu-dochu to Kofu Town (Kofu City), and the other heading south along the Fuefuki River. On August 23, the following day, the rebellion that proceeded along the Koshu road broke into the castle of Kofu when it broke through the defense battles of Kofu duty number Nagami Isenokami-Ko, Kofu deputy officer, Inoue Juzaemon's hand, and so on. He broke the mansion of the grain brokers and the virtuous people, and also set fire. The rebellion that destroyed the castle of Kofu was further divided into two, and one move proceeded from Enkoji Village to Saijo Village (Showa Town) in Naka District, Koma County, continued to destroy Iida Shinmachi from Nishiaonuma Town, and Kitayama, Koma County via Arakawa. I proceeded to Kamiishida Town (Kofu City), Nishiyahata Village / Ryuo Village (Nishiyahata / Ryuo, Kai City), and when I smashed and ignited, I continued to smash at the Fuebuki River without crossing the Kamanashi River. On the other hand, one move south of Tokoji Village was partially arrested by the pursuit of Kofu taking turns on duty (esp. daimyo's retainers on duty in Edo) Nagami Isenokami-Ko, and this was also divided into two moves in Nakagunsuji Otoguro Village. One went to Otawa Village, Naka District, and the other went to Saijo Village. When the turmoil broke down in Naka District Sujifuse Town and Imafuku-mura, they joined in Otawa Village Magome, crossed the Fuefuki River, passed through Yashiro District Nishi District Ueno Town (Ichikawamisato-cho), and Ichikawadaimon where Ichikawa cantonment exists. Reach the village. Tetsugoro Yamaguchi-Ko, Daikanyama Ichikawa, is in a sickbed, and the command of the suppression was done by Jinzaemon Takashima-Ko, but he moved out before many people. It is said that the turmoil was also destroyed in Ichikawadaimon Village, and Kyubei, the president of Kami-yui, was a blank gun but threatened with the gun he brought, forcing him to mobilize to participate in the turmoil. The turmoil further broke down at Kajikazawa inn when going south on the Surshu return, but after that, it returned to the north and went north at Nishigunsuji Aoyagi inn, Saishoji village, Tenjin Nakajo village, Nagasawa village (Fujikawa town). Continued to break down and reached Nishi-gun muscle Kajikazawa inn. At Ogisawa-juku, the villagers counterattacked, but the turmoil further crossed the Yamaguchi station from Nirasaki-juku to Nishi-Otakegawa-mura (Hakushu Town, Hokuto City) and reached the vicinity of the Koshin border. On August 23, Kofu working number Nagami Isenokami-Ko and Kofu Edo-period prefectural governor (magistrate,bailiff)
Juzaemon Inoue-Ko, who allowed the destruction in Kofu town, requested the Suwa domain of Shinano Province to send troops, and slaughtered all the villages in Kuninaka. The villages in the Kofu Basin, which received the news of the destruction, collect information independently and work for defense. In addition, there were some who actively participated in the suppression of the turmoil, such as the masters of Mt. Ontake Kanazakura Shrine. The Shinano Suwa clan dispatched clan soldiers during the 24th, but when it was confirmed that the county's return to the village and the turmoil had subsided, he visited Kofu on the 28th and returned to Shinano. The Shogunate has also ordered the Numazu Domain of Suruga Province and the Takato Domain of Shinano to dispatch troops, but both domains have withdrawn shortly after confirming the suppression of the turmoil. Hidetatsu Egawa (Tarozaemon)-Ko, who has jurisdiction over the territories of Izu, Suruga, Musashi, and Sagami provinces, is also working to collect information about the turmoil. Egawa learned of the turmoil when he returned to Nirayama Daikansho after finishing the village of Suruga in Izu in August 7th, when the turmoil occurred. He is heading to Kai with Yakuro Saito-Ko and others. Egawa-Ko returned in August when he learned of the suppression of the turmoil from Kofu's deputy officer, Tozaemon Inoue-Ko, on September 3. After the turmoil has subsided, the Shogunate will dispatch a scrutiny officer to investigate at the Ishiwa magistrate's office. Mr. Takeshichi and Mr. Hyosuke, who became the leaders of the uprising in the county, left the riot after destroying Okuuemon-Ko's house and returned to the village, but Mr. Takeshichi was guilty and self-confessed and was arrested. Mr. Takeshichi is decided to be crucifixed at Isawa-juku (Isawa Town, Fuefuki City), but he is dead in prison. On the other hand, Hyosuke has escaped from Kai and is wandering from Kanto to Hokuriku, Kinai, Shikoku, and China. A travel diary still exists in Hyosuke, and before 10 years of Tenpo, he returned to Inume Village, took his family to Kisarazu, Awa Province (Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture), changed his surname to Nara, and changed his name to Terakoya. Is said to have run. According to interviews with the sectarians' book and descendants of Hossho-ji Temple in Inume, Uenohara City, the Hyosuke family returned from Anbo to Kai before the 5th year of Ansei (1858), and Hyosuke died during the Keio era.)occurred in Yamanashi prefecture. Around this time, Japan began to break the isolation and become a modern nation under the pressure of Western countries. After entering Kofu Castle in March 1868, Koshu became Yamanashi Prefecture on November 20, 1868, after passing through Kai Province and Kofu Prefecture. In the first half of the Meiji era, the silk reeling industry and the wine brewing industry will be fostered by the Fujimura Prefectural Ordinance's solicitation policy. In the second half, the Chuo Line will open and industry and culture will develop. Farmers have a high rate of crofting, and there are many crofting disputes from the Taisho era to the Showa era. Fujikawa boating declined sharply due to the opening of the Chuo Line, and its history closed in the early Showa period when the Minobu Line opened. In 1945, the end of the war was reached, and after the war, the land reform led to a system centered on self-produced farming, and the subsequent agricultural management was significantly converted to fruit trees. Commerce and industry developed during the period of high economic miracle. Last but not least, JA Fruit Yamanashi has the highest production of grapes in Japan and is made with great care of various varieties of grapes. In addition, fruit trees such as peaches and cherries are also actively cultivated, and more than 3,500 producers of fruits are engaged in JA as a whole. It is one of the largest fruit tree producing areas in Yamanashi, the fruit kingdom, and accounts for more than 40% of the production in the prefecture.
