In ancient times, there was a village along the Midori River where agriculture was practiced.In the Middle Ages, it became a land owned by a Shinto shrine of the Aso clan and the Kosa deity with extraordinary spiritual powers. In the early modern period, it was owned by the Kato clan and then the Hosokawa clan. The origin of “Misato” Town is that it was located almost in the center of Kumamoto Prefecture as a central town, and Tomochi Town is said to have started with the word “Tokami Township” in a book from the Heian period, and “To” means mountain. , “Muchi” has the meaning of a god, and it is said that it has a proud history and a process that has been traced as a treasure of the townspeople as it is said to have a mountain and a god or a hometown of mountain gods.

The shipment of “Goku-Wase Mikan”, which is cultivated in Uki City, Kumamoto Prefecture, will start on September 13, 2022, and the departure ceremony for the truck loaded with the first shipment is being held. In Misumi Town, Uki City, where citrus fruits are thriving, 200 farmers seem to grow low-acidity, easy-to-eat Goku-Wase brand mandarin oranges, Hi no Akari. At the departure ceremony held at the JA Kumamoto Uki no citrus sorting site, JA officials and cultivators gathered to take the lead. Full-scale shipment of perennial gypsophila began in early September within the same JA jurisdiction, which is one of Japan’s leading gypsophila production areas. 30 cases were shipped from Kitaei Nou Center (Shimada, Jonan Town, Minami Ward, Kumamoto City). By June 2023, it plans to ship 60,000 cases (approximately 6 million bottles) nationwide and sell 500 million yen. At the time of shipment, officers of the JA Flower Club gather to check the quality of the excellent agricultural products to be shipped. There are 46 Gypsophila producers in the JA jurisdiction, and the planted area is said to be about 14 hectares. The 2022 crop is blessed with stable weather, and the growth is good, and it seems that the ratio of the upper classes is slightly higher. It seems that the department is working together to ensure stable shipments even during periods when shipments are down. For this reason, it is highly evaluated in the market, and about 60% of sales are based on fixed-price long-term contracts. The department, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year, seems to continue to sell well, with sales exceeding 500 million yen for the first time in 2021. The 2004 JA Kumamoto Uki Ginger Subcommittee, which dates back to about 18 years ago, originated from the same JA located in the center of Kumamoto Prefecture. It seems to have been made up of However, the members of Ogawa Town and Toyono-mura merged in June 2004, and it seems that the project was implemented only by the members of Ogawa Town（On January 15, 2005, Misumi Town and Shiranui Town, Uto District merged with Matsubase Town and Toyono Town, Shimomashiki District to form Uki City.）as the JA Kumamoto Uki Ogawa Ginger Section. Ginger here seems to have been cultivated along the slopes of the mountains at altitudes ranging from 20 m to 150 m. In 2003, the number of members was 137, and the ginger cultivation area was 54.1 hectares. Adjacent to the Kumamoto Plain to the north and the Yatsushiro Plain to the south, this area is famous for its relatively mild climate and location suitable for growing ginger. According to alic’s Research Information Department Research Information Section 2, the ginger subcommittee aims to establish a production system that focuses on safe and secure ginger production through reduced pesticide and low pesticide cultivation. It seems that yellow anti-moth lights were introduced as part of the structural reform promotion special measures project. One of the problems in cultivating ginger in this area is the larvae of the armyworm (a type of nocturnal moth), which hatches mainly in April and May. , It becomes a pupa in about a month.) There is a countermeasure against feeding damage of Mei moths. If noctiluca lays eggs on ginger leaves and leaves them unattended, the larvae will eat the ginger leaves, and as a result, the growth of ginger will be hindered. As a usual countermeasure, pesticides such as molting inhibitors are sprayed once every 10 days from June, when planting is finished, until the end of September, when harvest time, to exterminate larvae. However, it seems that there are several problems with pesticide spraying. First of all, it seems that pesticide spraying at this time of the year when high temperatures are conspicuous cannot be done during the daytime, and as a result, the work must be done early in the morning and in the evening, resulting in time constraints. It seems that the average cultivation area of full-time farmers in this area takes about three days for one spraying. Even at that time, it seems that the work of spraying pesticides in the summer required a lot of labor for ginger farmers, who were aging rapidly. In addition, it seems that the frequent use of pesticides will hinder the sales strategy in the current situation of agriculture, where safety and security are touted. In recent years, yellow moth-proof lamps, which have been widely used in areas where reduced or low-pesticide cultivation is being promoted, seem to be able to limit the behavior of nocturnal pests such as night moths. For the JA Kumamoto Uki Ginger Subcommittee, which wants to establish a safe and secure ginger production system, the introduction of the yellow anti-moth lamp seems to have been an effort in line with their goals. Since the project site is located in a hilly and mountainous area, the JA ginger section seems to have introduced two types of yellow anti-moth lights for the project, according to the field conditions. One is the sodium lamp type. This type is suitable for relatively wide fields, and it seems that the effective area of one light is about 10 to 20 ares. The other type is a straight tube type fluorescent lamp, and although the effective range of one lamp is about 1 to 2 ares, it is difficult to locate in hilly and mountainous fields where steep slopes inevitably create steps. It seems to have the advantage of being able to be placed together. The yellow anti-moth lamp was introduced in November 2002, so it seems that the first effect appeared in 2003. To reduce the frequency of pesticide spraying, before the introduction of yellow moth-proof lights, it was necessary to spray pesticides once every 10 days, three times a month, for both insecticide and sterilization purposes, but the introduction of yellow moth-proof lights After that, the same work seems to have been reduced to once a month, which is one-third. As for the reduction of working hours, according to research by the same JA Ginger Subcommittee, it took 56 hours per 10 ares a year to spray pesticides before the introduction of yellow moth-proof lights. I heard that in 2003, after the introduction, the number of hours worked decreased to 26 hours a year, and 30 hours a year. In addition, since the average cultivation area of ginger club members is about 70 ares, it seems that one farmer has been able to reduce the labor hours required for pesticide spraying by 210 hours per year. As for the incidental effect, it seems that most of the ginger cultivation fields in the jurisdiction area are along farm roads with little traffic. The yellow moth-proof lights are illuminated from sunset to dawn, so they seem to have a crime-prevention effect in this area. From the verification, it seems that the special measure project for promoting structural reform of vegetables by the project proponent had a certain effect. The reduction in the frequency of pesticide spraying has reduced the burden on ginger farmers, especially the elderly, and the subsequent reduction in working hours seems to have increased the spare capacity of growers. In addition, the reduction in work during the hot summer was more effective than the reduction in the number of actual working hours for farmers, and seemed to have led to an increase in their willingness to produce. The reduction in the use of pesticides has made it possible to appeal the production of “safe and secure” ginger that the JA Ginger Committee aims to produce. It seems that there is today. The easy-to-eat Uki reishi is Momordica, which has a characteristic bitter taste. There must be many fans who are healed by this unique taste and love it. It is also well-known as a vegetable that is rich in nutrients and prevents summer fatigue. Specifically, it is excellent in vitamin C, iron, and dietary fiber, and seems to contain many nutrients that modern people tend to lack. Reishi produced in Uki is a variety called ‘Erabu’, and one of its characteristics is that it has little bitterness. Erabu Bitter gourd contains a lot of vitamin C, which protects the body from UV rays and heat and is good for the skin, according to Yae Agricultural Co., Ltd., headquartered in Kosei Town, Isahaya City, Nagasaki Prefecture. In addition, it is said to be effective in lowering blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and cholesterol levels in the blood. Bitterness also seems to increase appetite. The leaves are medium and dark green. The grass is vigorous and persistent, and it seems to be rich in yield. The color of the pericarp turns glossy and dark green, the vertical warts are cut short, and the surface of the warts is rounded, so it seems that there is little shipping pain. Fruit length is around 30 cm, fruit weight is around 300 g, and it seems to be a voluminous fruit with a slightly fat body. In addition, as a shipping guideline, the fruit length is 28 to 32 cm, the fruit diameter is 3.5 to 4 cm at the shoulder, 5.5 to 6 cm at the body, 4 to 4.5 cm at the buttocks, and the weight is around 300 g. There is little occurrence of bruises, the fruit shape is uniform, and the color of the peel is less disturbed, so it is said to have an excellent product rate. alic Survey Report (Vegetable Information April 2014): As a consistent effort from seed supply to sales, focusing on JA Zen-Noh’s original mini tomato “Angele”: According to Mr. Izawa of the Survey Information Department, mini Introducing the efforts of JA Kumamoto Economic Federation and JA Kumamoto Uki as an initiative to promote Angela production in Kumamoto Prefecture, which boasts the highest shipment volume of tomatoes in Japan at 22,600 tons (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries “2012 Vegetable Production and Shipment Statistics”). Is doing. Regarding the production promotion of Angele at Keizairen, the Federation of Economics, which was introduced to Angele by JA Zen-Noh, was interested in stable sales. Considering the selection of JA that can experimentally work on the production area (shipment from October to July of the following year). Trial cultivation started in 2011 at 3 JAs in the prefecture with a cultivation area of 92 ares. In the same year, the shipment amount was 63 tons, and it seems that they were able to raise a certain level of test results. After that, we promoted planting in each JA of mini tomato production areas in winter and spring. ANGELLE tomatoes are well-balanced sweet and sour, and are known around the world as snack-type mini tomatoes that have never been seen in Japan. Rich in lycopene, which has an antioxidant effect, it is good for beauty and health, and since it has little jelly, the juice does not easily splatter, and it is easy to eat because it has no calyx, so it is popular as a snack for children. It was bred by Syngenta Japan Co., Ltd. (Harumi, Chuo Ward, Tokyo) and has been on the market in Europe since 2009. In Japan, JA Zen-Noh seems to have conducted aptitude tests, etc., but started trial cultivation and sales in 2011. In the same year, 1.7 ha was planted in 9 JAs nationwide. When it was sold on a trial basis in Tokyo and Osaka, mainly at specific mass retailers, it was well received. It seems that the contract for the exclusive supply of seeds has been reached. The average yield of Angele tomato is 5t per 10 a in summer and autumn, and 9 t per 10 a in winter and spring. JA ZEN-NOH has a policy of carefully increasing the cultivated area by identifying production areas so that it can be shipped systematically throughout the year. And seems to be increasing. Furthermore, grapes in the Uki area are cultivated on 62 ha, and it seems to be the number one production area in the prefecture, accounting for 40% of the cultivated area in the prefecture. Above all, it seems that the main cultivar “Kyoho Grapes” occupies more than 50% of the cultivated area in the jurisdiction. I have heard that local governments are supporting initiatives aimed at maintaining the brand as a grape production area and creating attractive products. On July 21, 2022, the grape “Kyoho” fruit competition is being held at JA Kumamoto Uki main office while thoroughly implementing infection prevention measures (sponsored by JA Kumamoto Uki Grape Section Matsubase Branch). The fair is held every year with the aim of motivating producers to produce more, and this year there were 11 entries, which seems to have been an eye-opener. At the fair, six judges, consisting of JA Kumamoto Uki, city staff, and representatives of the producers, judged the quality of coloring, the size of the bunches and fruits, the uniformity of the grains, and whether they had a high sugar content and good taste seems to have gone In mid-July, when the fair was held, in addition to the heavy rainfall, the minimum temperature was higher than in an average year. However, due to daily efforts such as production management, the quality of the exhibited fruits was all good, and it seems that it was difficult to rank them. Above all, the top fruit had a sugar content of over 18 degrees, and the quality and appearance were excellent. The Agricultural Extension and Promotion Division will continue to support the production of high-quality grapes of Kyoho grapes, the main grape variety. In addition, using the “Shine Muscat Grapes” cultivation manual that was created last year, we are working to disseminate cultivation techniques for producing high-quality fruits seems to be. And support farming establishment. May 8th is “Goya Day”. Bitter melon, which is a typical agricultural product, is a bitter melon vegetable, but it contains a lot of nutrients such as vitamin C, and it seems that it is often eaten in order to spend the hot summer of Okinawa well. On Miyakojima, bitter melon is called “Gora”. In Okinawa, it is called “Goya”, and in the United States, it is called “Bitter Melon”. Among the many dishes, goya champuru is popular. Tempura is also delicious, but if you eat it raw as a salad, it will be a bit bitter, but if you add dried bonito flakes, it will be very delicious. It is said that the bitter melon was transmitted from China during the Edo period. In Okinawa, the name “Bitter sweet” was written in a book called “Ryukyu Kingdom Origin” (Kangxi 52: 1713: Shotoku 3) during the Ryukyu Kingdom era. Famous as a healthy vegetable in Okinawa. Eat unripe fruits before ripening. Bitterness is attractive, but if you are not good at it, you can get rid of it by sprinkling salt on it and boiling it over it. It’s said to be useful for energy saving while enjoying gardening. The name is green garden of bitter melon. Hard skin bitter melon prevents the loss of its components and can absorb nutrients efficiently even when cooked. Rich in vitamin C. In addition, the nutritional value is characteristic, and the saying “Good medicine tastes bitter / Good medicine is bitter in to the mouth” is originally associated with “bitter melon”. Goya, which has been eaten by Okinawans since the Ryukyu dynasty, was previously cultivated in the gardens of homes. Occasionally, the elderly in the neighborhood will have a hard time competing for the result. Recently, it has been cultivated year-round and can be eaten regardless of the season, but the season is from April to July, which is a representative vegetable of summer. In 2022, due to the good weather in March, there were more flowers than usual, and it was difficult to thin the fruit, but I heard that the high-quality fruits with straight and neat warts were produced and shipped smoothly. I would like to hope that it will lead to profit for producers even a little while materials etc. are soaring.

Reishi is said to have originated in tropical Asia. It is unknown when it was born, but it is believed that it was introduced to China around the 15th and 16th centuries, and that it was brought to Japan from China around the 16th century during the Edo period. In Okinawa, there is a book written during the Ryukyu Kingdom period called the Ryukyu Kingdom Yuraiki (the oldest systematic topographical material on the Ryukyu Kingdom). A topography of the Ryukyus compiled by the Chuzan royal government in 1713. Based on these materials, the Kyuukyura Yose magistrate and nakadori (assistant to the magistrate) edited the map of Ryukyu. A total of 21 volumes. Orders to collect materials related to history, rituals, etc. will be issued to various parts of the Ryukyu Islands.”, and since the name of bitter melon is written in it, it seems that it already existed in the Ryukyu Kingdom at that time. Once upon a time. It used to be eaten in Okinawa Prefecture and southern areas of Kyushu, but in 1993, fruits and vegetables from Okinawa Prefecture began to be shipped outside the prefecture, and with the Okinawa cuisine boom, it has spread nationwide.

Cultivated varieties include 40 to 60 cm long cylindrical ‘青長’ and ‘白長’ types, and 10 to 20 cm and medium thick ‘Aonakacho’ types. In recent years, the ‘青中長’ type, which has a dark green color and less bitterness, is favored by the market, and cultivation is apparently increasing. It is mainly produced in warm regions such as Okinawa, Kagoshima, and Miyazaki, but it seems to be expanding to the east as consumption increases. Cultivation is generally done outdoors, and in warm areas it is sown from March to April and harvested from July to October. There are many shelf tailoring and three-dimensional tailoring, but it seems that there is also ground crawling cultivation. It is produced year-round by forcing cultivation and precocious cultivation using facilities. In June 2022, JA Kumamoto Uki Ogawa District Women’s Division uses a green curtain made of bitter gourd (bitter gourd), and it seems that it leads to energy saving that is conscious of the global environment. The department’s activities seem to be related to Sustainable SDGs Goal 13, “Take concrete action against climate change.” In April, bitter gourd seedlings were distributed to 34 applicants in order to reduce the summer heat and save electricity with green curtains made from vines and leaves. Bitter gourd seems to be growing well under the eaves of the member’s house.

Goya in Japan can be divided into spindle-shaped (green), cylindrical (green), triangular (green), and egg-shaped (white) according to the planting shape and color. In the past, it was cultivated as a local vegetable on a limited basis in Okinawa Prefecture and the Kyushu region. It seems to have spread to the Kanto region as well. Each prefecture is also focusing on breeding and dissemination of varieties, such as Hoshibushi bitter gourd, which has a high female flower rate, Natsu Natsumori Sakari, a greenhouse variety, and Shiokaze bitter gourd, which is suitable for greenhouse cultivation in winter. Also, I heard that Ka-ko No. 5 bitter gourd is a cultivar that was bred at an experimental site in Kagoshima prefecture.

The number of new farmers under the age of 39 changes every year to more than 10 people. Among the new farmers, U-turn (one of the population return phenomena, a phenomenon in which those who migrated from rural areas to urban areas return to their hometowns in rural areas) , Approximately 70%. Certified farmers plan to improve management based on their own ingenuity toward the agricultural management goals shown in the basic concept for promoting the strengthening of agricultural management bases in municipalities. Is certified by municipalities, etc., and efforts are to be given priority to support measures for farmers who have received these certifications.

In late November 2023, car dealers collaborated with the prefectural police and Zaspa to hold an event in Isesaki City to call for prevention of damage from special fraud and traffic accidents. The ``Regional Safety Festa'' was held by Honda Cars Gunma in cooperation with the prefectural police, the Prefectural Crime Prevention Equipment Association, and Thespa Kusatsu Gunma as a social contribution. The idea is to have as many families as possible participate in the event, which will help eradicate special fraud and prevent accidents involving the elderly. At the event, there was a popular booth where people could wear police uniforms and ride in police cars and motorcycles, and parents and children seemed to be having fun taking pictures. In addition, a special fraud eradication supporter training course was held with the participation of Zaspa Kusatsu Gunma's Yamada and Kawakami Edo-Ojon, and the current situation of special fraud and preventive measures were explained. In addition, Honda Cars staff called on elderly people to explain how to use next-generation electric wheelchairs as a means of transportation after returning their driver's licenses. Those who visited seemed to be thinking about creating a safe community while interacting with police officers and athletes.

The Council for Cultural Affairs of Japan has reported that the private house “Shinichi Tajima Family Housing Main House” in the Sakaishima village district of Isesaki City, Gunma Prefecture should be registered as a national registered tangible cultural property. The Tajima Shin family house owner is located around the old residence of Yahei Tajima, a World Heritage Site, and was built around 1861 to manufacture and sell silk moth eggs. It seems that it is characterized by three small turrets that ventilate on the roof to produce silk moths. It seems that the second floor was used as a silkworm room, and it is highly possible that it was built two years older than the old residence of Yahei, a World Heritage Site. This Sakaishima village district is one of the areas where silkworm production was once thriving, and so far four private houses have been registered tangible cultural properties. When it comes to registration this time, it is the 343rd registered tangible cultural property in the prefecture. The Shimamura ferry boat is a 9-seater ferry (one of which is a ferry man) that connects Sakaishimamura, which is divided into north and south by the Tone River, and seems to have been used as part of Route 6-603 in Isesaki City. It is said that it started around the middle of the Edo period, and was transferred to Gunma Prefecture on April 1, 1951, and to Isesaki City from April 1, 2012, and was in operation. The ferry boat was suspended due to damage to the pier and shipping route due to Typhoon No. 19 in October 2018. As a result of studying the ideal way of kneading modern vehicles, the operation as a city road has been terminated, and the city road in the route part has been abolished. It’s a really lonely situation. Isesaki City Akabori History and Folklore Museum (Nishikubo Town): The History and Folklore Museum was opened as the Akabori Village History and Folklore Museum in 1985. It seems that it is exhibited at. Archaeological materials from the Paleolithic period to the Heian period excavated from the city are displayed in the permanent exhibition room on the 1st floor. In addition, on the 2nd floor, it seems that restored private houses that imaged the early Showa period, folk tools used until the middle of the Showa period, and silk moth tools and farm tools used by silk moth farmers are exhibited. Workman (Kanto Shinetsu Headquarters: Shiba Town, Isesaki City, Gunma Prefecture), which is one of Japan’s leading sales of work clothes and outdoor wear, announced on May 9th that the non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2022 are total operating revenue of 116,266,400. It seems that 10,000 yen has exceeded 100 billion yen for the second consecutive term. The net profit is said to be 18,303 million yen. Gross operating revenue has reached record highs for 12 consecutive terms and net income has reached record highs for 11 consecutive terms. JA Nitta Midori is located in the eastern part of Gunma prefecture, and is within the jurisdiction of Kiryu city, Ota city, and Sakaihirazuka district of Isesaki city. “Isesaki City, Gunma Prefecture” : It is located in the southern part of Gunma prefecture, in the northwestern part of the Kanto plain.（An inland prefecture with no coastline located in the northwestern part of the Kanto region. I hear that volcanic activity is remarkable because it is near the contact between the southern end of the Nasu volcanic belt and the Fuji volcanic belt. The sedimentary area of valcano rocks and eruptions is extremely large, and the geological composition is different.）Located on the south side of the foot of Mt. Akagi, there are some hills in the northern part of the city, and the terrain is almost flat. The Tone River flows in the south direction, and the Hirose River and Kasu River flow in the city area. The surrounding area is blessed with a natural environment, with a panoramic view of Jyomo sanzan (Mt. Akagi, Mt. Haruna, Mt. Myogi). In a relatively warm area in the prefecture with few rainy days and long daylight hours. The average annual temperature is about 15 to 16 degrees Celsius, which is the second warmest climate in major cities after Tatebayashi（According to a survey by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2004）. Going back, about two years ago, the average sunshine hours at the prefectural capitals was 1,919 hours. In Prefecture, it had the fourth longest daylight hours, and in City, it was about the same as Maebashi, exceeding 2,000 hours. The amount of rainfall and the number of rainy days are the lowest at the observation point, and the city has many sunny days and is still comfortable to live in. It is 13.1 km east-west and about 18.4 km north-south, with a slightly elongated shape from north to south, with an area of 139.44 km2, accounting for 2.2% of the prefecture. Chausuyama tumulus and other tumuli excavated from a house-shaped haniwa that imitates a mansion of a powerful family. It is said that a powerful tribe appeared from early on and an organized society was run. The land is a volcanic ash area with good drainage and suitable for mulberry growth, so sericulture has been popular since ancient times. Known as the production center of silk cloth made from coarse fibers (futoito, tamaito or noshiito), “Isesaki Meisen” became famous nationwide after the Meiji era. In recent years, the manufacturing industry and large-scale commercial facilities have been expanding into the market by utilizing the main road network. Peri-urban agriculture is also active, and there is a lot of production of agricultural products. The municipal system was enforced in 1902: In 1940, Isesaki Town, Moro Village, and Uehasu Village joined（Former; Two towns and twelve villages）. 1955年には, 三郷村, 豊受村, 名和村, 宮郷村を編入. In addition, it will merge in another town. After some time, on January 1, 2005, four municipalities joined and started a new city.

Branded agricultural and livestock products in Isesaki City: Brand No. 5 Isesaki Tomato “Julia-575/675/77” Instead of pursuing “high sugar content”, “harmony of sweetness, acidity and flavor” It seems to be a tomato that claims to be the original value of tomatoes. The name “Julia” seems to be from the desire to grow up like “Romeo and Juliette” who are innocent, neat and noble with their honest love. “575”, “675” and “775” seem to mean “sugar content of 5.75 degrees or more”, “sugar content of 6.75 degrees or more” and “sugar content of 7.75 degrees or more”, respectively. I heard that the release date is around March every year. It seems that house forcing cultivation (shipped from January to June) in the flat area of Gunma prefecture and rain shelter cultivation (shipped from July to October) in the cool mountainous area are being carried out. It seems that distinctive production such as high sugar content fruit tomatoes and contract cultivation for processing is also being carried out. The main production areas are Numata City in the mountainous area, Showa Village in Tone District, Katashina Village, Isesaki City in the flat land, and Midori City. In addition, taking advantage of the blessed natural conditions and location conditions, various vegetable production is carried out throughout the year, and it seems that it is an important vegetable supply production area to the metropolitan area as a top vegetable production prefecture in the whole country. The amount of vegetable production in 2020 seems to have increased to 100.4 billion yen, up from the previous year, due to the results of cultivation technology guidance and production expansion support in subsidized projects. It seems that the output has exceeded 100 billion yen for the first time in four years since 2016. Vegetables account for about 40% of the prefecture’s agricultural output, and seem to be in an important position in Gunma agriculture. Based on the “Vegetable Kingdom Gunma Promotion Plan 2020”, all concerned parties are working together to promote production centered on eight priority items and regional promotion items. As mentioned earlier, Gunma Prefecture, which is blessed with good daylight hours, produces delicious tomatoes throughout the year. Good quality tomatoes are produced in the warm flat land in summer and in the plateau area where the temperature difference between day and night is large in winter. Among them, Amashizuku Tomatoes is a breed grown in Gunma prefecture. A sweet tomato with a sugar content of 2 to 3 degrees higher than that of ordinary tomatoes and a sugar content of 7 degrees or more. Not only is it sweet, it has an excellent balance with acidity and is popular as a tomato with a strong taste. The size is about 80 g, which is small and easy to eat. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration, application number 19252, application date 2006/01/26, application publication date 2006/10/23, registration number 17129, registration date 2008/12/12, breeder Duration of rights 25 years, extinction date of breeder rights 2020/12/15, name and address of variety registrant, Kaneko Seedling Co., Ltd. (Furuichi Town, Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture) Name of the person who bred the registered variety, Mr. Fuminori Yamada , Mr. Yuzuru Yutani, Mr. Hideo Tataki, Mr. Masamichi Ushinami, Mr. Yukio Kanai, Outline of the characteristics of the plant of the regional registered varieties, the grass shape is normal, the stem anthocyanin (among the compounds classified as anthocyan, anthocyanin is as aglycon Coloring of sugars and sugar chains (sugars linked to sugar chains) is medium, internode length is slightly short, leaf length is short, leaf width is narrow, leaf notch is pinnate twice, leaflet size is small, Leaf green intensity is dark, flower cluster shape is single, petal color is yellow, fruit stalk is separated, fruit size is small, fruit diameter ratio (vertical / horizontal) is small, vertical cross section The fruit shape is spherical, the folds on the shoulder are weak, the dent on the hump is medium, the size of the fall is small, the size of the flower drop is large, the shape of the fruit apex is slightly protruding, the fruit epidermis The color is yellow, the size of the heart is a little large, the thickness of the fruit is a little thin, the number of child chambers is 4.5 or 6, the green color of the fruit shoulder in the young fruit stage is present, and the fruit color in the young fruit stage is Medium, the fruit color in the ripe stage is red, the fruit color in the ripe stage is red, the hardness of the fruit is quite hard, the early and late flowering is early, and the early and late maturity is medium. The application cultivar “Amashizuku Tomato” has a shorter leaf length, a narrower leaf width, a number of child chambers of 4.5 or 6, and a sugar content (compared to the control cultivar “Louis 60 Tomato”. Distinguishing is recognized by the fact that the content of soluble solids) is considerably high. Compared to the control variety “House Momotaro Tomato”, the leaf length is short, the leaf width is narrow, the sugar content (soluble solid matter content) is considerably high, and leaf mold (symptoms are mainly). Occurs on leaves. Initially, pale yellow spots with unclear contours are formed on the surface of the leaves, and grayish yellow to greenish brown velvety molds are densely grown on the back surface. It turns brown to grayish purple and molds on the surface of the leaves. It develops from the lower leaves, gradually spreads to the upper leaves, becomes severely ill, and falls when the lesions occupy most of the leaves.) It is said that distinction is recognized by having 0 resistance.

In 1990, ripe varieties of tomatoes became widespread nationwide, so in order to be selected as a production area, “differentiated products based on commitment” that meet the needs of consumers who prefer high sugar content as well as ripe taste. Seems to have been sought. Therefore, Gunma Prefecture is developing a high-sugar tomato cultivation method by root zone-restricted cultivation using a root-blocking permeable sheet. That is, plants planted in soil grow their roots in the vertical and horizontal directions. In addition, the roots absorb the water that has permeated the soil due to irrigation and rainfall. It is a cultivation method that physically and spatially restricts the movement and function of such roots. In addition, because it is cultivated by adjusting the amount of irrigation, it is small and the yield is less than half that of conventional large ball tomatoes, but once eaten, it grows into a delicious tomato that is addictive.

Designated vegetable production areas are designated in order to systematically promote the modernization of production and shipment of designated vegetables based on the Vegetable Production and Shipment Stabilization Law (Law No. 103 of July 1, 1966) and to stabilize the shipment. At the request of the prefectural governor, the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has designated what is deemed necessary to form as a collective production area for vegetables. As of May 7, 2021, it seems that 890 production areas have been designated nationwide and 124 production areas have been designated in the Tohoku region. Confirmed that winter and spring tomatoes are designated in Isesaki City.

Taking advantage of the blessed sunshine of flat land in winter and spring, and the cool climate of mountainous areas in summer and autumn, we ship the best products every season. The tomatoes carefully cultivated by the producers have a soft scent and the flesh does not crumble easily, so anyone can enjoy eating them. It is delicious as it is or when heated, so it can be used for a variety of purposes. A good choice seems to be that the shoulders of this excellent produce are stretched and hardened, and that it is heavy.

Spring carrots in Tokushima prefecture are carefully cultivated in a large growing in plastic tunnel, grow in a dry state without being exposed to rain, and are soft and sweet. They are cultivated throughout the prefecture, mainly in JA Itano-gun, from March to May. The shipment volume up to is the highest in Japan. Regarding the growth and shipment status of 2022 production, the cultivated area 813 ha in Tokushima is almost the same as the previous year. Some fields were slightly affected by low temperature, and those that started to appear were slightly delayed, but after 4/15, they tended to return.

Itano County Agricultural Cooperative Association is located in the northeastern part of Tokushima Prefecture, on the north bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yoshino River, one of Japan's leading rivers. This region has developed as one of the prefecture's leading agricultural production areas, mainly producing carrots and lotus roots, taking advantage of the rich water resources of the Yoshino River and alluvial soil, as well as the warm climate of the Seto Inland Sea. As urbanization progresses, although there are challenges such as a decrease in production areas, an aging population, and a shortage of workers, the distribution of people and goods has increased dramatically due to the opening of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and the extension of the Shikoku Jukan Expressway. It continues to be expected that these ripple effects will lead to the revitalization of local agriculture. Carrot cultivation began in earnest around 1968 and rapidly spread and became established, and by 2004, the number of households in production reached 372 and the cultivation area was 525 hectares. In 1990, it won the Japan Agricultural Gold Award. The main cropping pattern is sowing from late October to mid-December and harvesting from late March to late May. The first priority is to create the conditions for seed germination and initial growth, and a mechanized integrated system is used to carry out plowing, ridge-building, sowing, herbicide application, and covering in one day, in an effort to preserve soil moisture. The seeding method has been successful. There are two types of tunnel covering materials: film widths of 3.6 m and 6.0 m (5.4 m is also available). Recently, the 6 m type has rapidly become popular due to its ease of work in tunnels and yield efficiency, and the total width of the film is 85 m. In addition, to prevent the film from being blown away by the winter monsoon winds and early spring winds, it appears that the hem is completely buried in the soil between the furrows. In addition, as a result of field tests, olefins (unsaturated hydrocarbons, which collectively refer to high-molecular compounds such as ethylene, propylene, and butadiene). Typical examples include polypropylene and polyethylene. As a characteristic, no harmful gas is generated when burned, so Prevents environmental pollution. Low specific gravity, so it is light, durable, and soft. Contains no toxicity, so it is safe and hygienic. Excellent waterproof and moisture-proof properties, as well as oil and chemical resistance. (Excluding organic solvents) ) It is transparent and can be colored and printed freely. It has excellent cold resistance, so it does not harden even in cold weather. No plasticizer is added, so no migration or transfer occurs.) The perforated film has high quality. It has become popular because it improves yield, especially when sown early.

About “inspection and evaluation of goals and activities for achieving them” and “setting of goals for optimization activities” by the Agricultural Commission. On June 8, 2022, the Agricultural Commission will promote the optimization of the use of agricultural land, such as the accumulation and consolidation of agricultural land, the prevention and elimination of idle farmland, and the promotion of new entrants, in accordance with the Act on Agricultural Commission, etc. It seems that such activities will be carried out. In order to make the optimization activities transparent and appropriate, we plan to announce the inspection, evaluation, and goals of the activities, the status of promotion of optimization of agricultural land use, and the implementation status of other office work by the Agricultural Committee. In 1988, six JAs in the eastern part of the Itano District of Tokushima Prefecture merged as “JA Itano”, and in 2000, six towns, Itano Town, Aizumi Town, Kitajima Town, Kamiita Town, Yoshino Town, and Donari Town, became “JA”. Established as “Itano District”. As an agricultural cooperative in those areas, the JA seems to operate a comprehensive business closely related to every aspect of daily life. The Itano District Agricultural Cooperative is located in the northeastern part of Tokushima Prefecture, on the north bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yoshino River, one of Japan’s leading rivers. The area has developed as one of the prefecture’s leading agricultural production areas, mainly carrots, lettuce, and lotus roots, taking advantage of the abundant water resources of the Yoshino River and the location conditions centered on offshore soil, and taking advantage of the warm climate of Setouchi. It seems. In recent years, with the progress of urbanization, the distribution of people and goods has dramatically increased due to the opening of the Akashi Strait Bridge and the extension of the Shikoku Transit Expressway, although there are severe problems such as a decrease in production areas, an aging population, and a shortage of workers. It seems that it is expected that these ripple effects will increase and lead to the activation of regional agriculture. Cultivation of special carrots began in earnest around 1968, and has rapidly spread and established since then. In 2004, the number of production units was 372 houses and the cultivation area was 525 ha. In 1990, it won the Japan Agricultural Prize Gold Award and has gained fame as a leading production center. It seems that the cropping patterns from the Showa era are mainly those that are sown from late October to mid-December and harvested from late March to late May. The first priority is to prepare the conditions for seed germination and initial growth, and the mechanized integrated system is used to carry out tillage, ridge-raising, sowing, herbicide spraying, and coating in one day to maintain soil moisture. It seems that the sowing method has been successful. There are two types of tunnel covering materials, film width 3.6 m and 6.0 m (as much as 5.4 m). Recently, due to the workability and yield in the tunnel, the 6 m type has rapidly become widespread, and the total It seems to occupy 85%. In addition, it seems that the hem is completely filled with soil in the furrows so that the film will not be blown off by the winter monsoon or early spring wind. In addition, as a result of field tests, olefin-based (non-vinyl chloride: generally PVC (polyvinyl chloride, PVC) may generate harmful substances including chlorine when incinerated. Also, it is contained in vinyl chloride. Some of the substances used as plasticizers (phthalates) and stabilizers are concerned about environmental and human effects. Perforated film (perforated on the entire surface of the film) It is used as a packaging bag for food. There are two uses for degassing and degassing. First, degassing is the moisture inside the film. It means that it is prevented from being muffled. For example, in rice etc., there is a concern that mold may be generated due to the dampness, so there is a high need for measures against moisture because of the high humidity in Japan, and the entire surface for degassing. (Demand for perforated film is high) improves quality and yield, and is effective especially in the case of early incinerator, so it seems that it has become widespread and established. In addition, referring to past test results, the nitrogen application rate should be 15 kg per 10 a in upland fields and 20 kg in paddy field conversion. It seems that it is carried out systematically. Regarding the ventilation of tunnel cultivation, it seems that an ideally balanced ventilation is performed by installing a ventilation model field with a thermometer and referring to the data. The appropriate amount for composting is about 4 tons, and the effect seems to be remarkable. At 6 t, the base balance is lost and the absorption of Ca and Mg deteriorates, which seems to have a bad effect on growth hypertrophy. Based on the idea that soil preparation is the basis of cultivation, more than 1,200 soil analyzes are conducted annually, and seminars on analysis and diagnosis are held to promote rationalization of fertilization without difficulty, and to improve soil fertility and high quality-oriented production. It seems that they are trying to level. In 1992, before the compost supply center was established, the soil humus value was low, and the cultivated area with a target value of 2.0% or more was 4% of the total (corresponding area 18 ha), and in 2003 it was 66.0% (corresponding area 346 ha). It seems that the ripple effect of compost supply and enlightenment was noticeable. As an effect of the fertilizer component announced by Tokushima Prefecture, nitrogen is effective for leafy vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, cabbage and spinach as it is called leaf fertilizer, but if it is overdone for bean vegetables, only leaves will grow. Phosphoric acid seems to be effective for fruit-bearing vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and watermelons, as it is called fruit fertilizer. Potash fertilizer thickens the roots and makes them strong, so called root fertilizer, so it seems to be effective for root vegetables such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. In addition, it is advisable to carry out a soil diagnosis before application and try to ensure an appropriate input amount. Unlike chemical fertilizers, the effect of fertilizer seems to appear slowly by continuing to use it every year. When applying, be sure to mix well with soil 1 to 2 months before planting. Since cow manure is often high in potash and pig manure is high in phosphoric acid, the nutrient balance is likely to be lost, so do not apply more than necessary and try to supplement the fertilizer components with chemical fertilizers. The “Ordinance on Prevention of Unreasonably Large Application of Fertilizer, etc. in Tokushima Prefecture” has been enforced since 2007, and the ordinance will be observed when applying. Also, after spraying compost, try to cultivate it promptly. Since 1997, the “Spring-Summer Carrot Organic Village Development Study Group” has endeavored to improve soil fertilizer by adding pesticide-reduced cultivation and compost and organic fertilizer made from livestock manure supplied by livestock farmers in the same JA jurisdiction. It seems that it was organized by producers, agricultural cooperatives, and prefectures with the aim of establishing an environment-friendly cultivation method such as reducing the underground outflow of fertilizer components by making proper soil and preventing the pollution of groundwater. Based on soil preparation, summer sorghum (grass of the Gramineae family, also known as great millet, takakibi, kolyan, etc.) is added, high-quality compost (4 t / 10a), and all-organic fertilizer (“JA Organic Village 5.5.” 4 ”240 kg / 10 a, 40% reduction of practice), seems to be working with the goal of environmentally friendly production. It seems that carrot shipments and sales require planned and leveled shipments from late March to late May. For this reason, it seems that they are trying to set up a growth measurement field, link this growth data with AMeDAS data, formulate a shipping forecast formula, adjust the appropriate distribution, and level the shipment. In addition, nine specialist inspectors have been assigned to the collection and shipping area, and it seems that they are trying to eliminate quality disparities by thoroughly managing standards. Furthermore, it seems that the women’s department is working to improve stable supply and market trust through campaigns at mass retailers and repeated market visits. In addition, we have developed efforts to give consumers a higher sense of security, such as thorough recording of production history, promotion of proper control, and implementation of pesticide residue analysis, and have been highly evaluated. About 20 years have been described, but the JA has 8738 houses (regular members: 5585 houses, associate members: 3153 houses) in 2019, and the transaction volume of the sales business is 7.3 billion of vegetables, fruits and flowers. It seems that it was 60 million yen, rice 550 million yen, and livestock 15 million yen. In the jurisdiction, in addition to carrots, it seems that they are working on the production of various vegetables such as lotus root, which is a special product of Tokushima prefecture, Kintoki sweet potato (Kitajima town), broccoli, lettuce, cauliflower, and turnip. The cultivated area of carrots in the jurisdiction in 2020 was 654 hectares, which seems to occupy about two-thirds of the planted area in Tokushima Prefecture. Among them, Itano Town and Aizumi Town seem to be the main carrot cultivation areas. However, since Aizumi Town, including Kitajima Town, is adjacent to Tokushima City, which is the center of Tokushima Prefecture, the population has increased and concentrated significantly as a commuter town, and it seems that the conversion of agricultural land to residential land has progressed. Therefore, it seems that some farmers are taking measures to secure the shipment volume by giving crops to neighboring Ishii Town, Yoshinogawa City, and Awa City. In addition, the number of farm households is declining to 228 houses in 2020, but the age group is thick in the 40s to 60s, and it seems that successors are growing to some extent. In terms of cultivation, Ayahomare carrot from Fujii Seed Co., Ltd. (Yodogawa Ward, Osaka) (wase species with excellent shape, root color, and yield. The root length is 16 to 19 cm, the shape is slightly shouldered, and the yield is good, that is, the yield. Good nature. Both root color and core color are bright deep red, and the boundary of the core is almost inconspicuous. Also, the skin is smooth and the packaging after washing is very beautiful. The above-ground part is upright and slightly vigorous. It is resistant to illness and seems to be lush until harvest. Also, it seems that the occurrence of blue neck is rarely seen because it is highly inhalable. Since the moss is about Koyo No. 2 carrot, avoid using it in unreasonable cropping. The main varieties (about 70%) are cultivated to make the best use of their sexuality and try to harvest at the right time.) In the early 2000s, a mechanized system from the installation of a greenhouse tunnel to sowing and harvesting was established, especially in 1990. It seems that the harvesters that became popular in the 1980s were effective in maintaining and expanding the area. Cultivation using the tunnel green house seems to be a major feature of this production area. It seems that they are pursuing the sweetness and softness of the product by making appropriate holes in the coated vinyl and thoroughly controlling the temperature inside the tunnel. The cost of the tunnel greenhouse is pipe (usable for 15 years), vinyl (renewed every year), and harvester (renewed once every 3 to 4 years for 5 to 6 hectare producers) per 10 ares, so it is cultivated in the open field. It seems that it is difficult to reduce the cost, although the amount is not stated compared to the competing production areas. Due to these circumstances, it is desirable to think that the production area has focused on advantageous sales for households, which emphasized high quality, rather than for commercial use, which requires low prices. There are few farmers who specialize in carrots, and the average yield is 5.2 to 5.3 tons, and it seems that more than 80% of the harvest in the jurisdiction is shipped through agricultural cooperatives. Spring carrots harvested in spring (March-May) beyond the cold winter seem to be grown in a large tunnel greenhouse. Spring carrots in Tokushima are characterized by being “soft and sweet” because they grow in a dry state in a tunnel greenhouse that is not exposed to rain, and are known all over the country and have many fans. In addition, the shipment volume of spring and summer carrots in Tokushima Prefecture is the highest in Japan, and the annual production volume seems to be the third highest in Japan after Hokkaido and Chiba Prefectures. The Itano District Aizono Carrot Subcommittee is Tokushima Prefecture’s original “Tokushima anan（安2）agricultural products” in order to build a face-to-face relationship with consumers and promote the creation of a brand that allows them to experience “safety,” “reassurance,” and “trust.” GAP: Under the new system, in addition to the existing “food safety”, an excellent agricultural production system that considers “environmental conservation” and “occupational safety” will be certified, and the “certification mark” will be displayed on the certified agricultural products. A system that informs consumers of where to obtain product information) ”certification system / Tokushima Prefecture Governor Certification No. 005 has been obtained. The main production areas of the JA are Matsuzaka, Sakae, Itani, Aien, Sumiyoshi, Matsushima, Takashi, and Oyama. Sowing is started in October, cultivated in a large tunnel, and shipped from early spring over the cold winter. Because it grows in a dry state without being exposed to rain due to the coating, it seems that the sweetness is condensed like a drained tomato. It features a bright orange color realized by the careful care of the producer, a moist and smooth fresh texture, a sweet scent and a refreshing flavor.

With the progress of urbanization, the distribution of people and goods has increased dramatically due to the opening of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and the extension of the Shikoku Transit Expressway, although there are severe problems such as a decrease in production areas, an aging population, and a shortage of workers. , It seems that these ripple effects are expected to lead to the activation of regional agriculture. Carrot cultivation began in earnest around 1968, and has rapidly spread and established since then. In 2004, the number of production units was 372 and the cultivation area was 525 ha. In 1990, he won the Japan Agriculture Award and gained fame as a leading production center and is famous all over Japan.

“Spring carrots” in Tokushima Prefecture have the largest shipment volume in Japan. In terms of annual carrot yield, Tokushima Prefecture is the third largest producer of carrots after Hokkaido and Chiba Prefecture. The prefecture’s “spring carrot” is famous for its sweet, tender and delicious taste. Tunnel cultivation is the mainstream in Tokushima Prefecture. Compared to open-field cultivation, it takes more time to grow, and since it is not exposed to rainwater, it is cultivated in a dry state, so it seems that soft and sweet carrots can be made. While it takes about 3 to 4 times more labor than open-field cultivation, tunnel cultivation seems to be indispensable for making carrots that have a beautiful shape and deliciousness. It is important how well the fertilizer management and soil preparation before tunneling, temperature and moisture adjustment after tunneling, etc. are managed, and how this excellent agricultural product can be cultivated without stress. It seems to be a process.

Loving and convincing producers seem to change the cultivation method according to the pattern of the field. By grasping the characteristics of each field while cultivating, it seems that they are considering when sowing is appropriate in this land, which variety is suitable, which organic material is good for soil preparation, etc. In addition to producing high-quality, high-yielding carrots, we strive to raise the level of cultivation every year so that consumers will find it very delicious compared to other production areas when they eat it. Do not lack contribution to the world.

The median tectonic line is favored. Elutriation is a method of classifying powder samples based on the principle of particle size measurement. The counterflow acting in the opposite direction to the centrifugal force forms a gradient layer of excited states based on size and specific gravity in the chamber installed in the rotor of the centrifuge. By lowering the rotational speed, gradually increasing the flow velocity of the countercurrent flow, or changing the equilibrium position, particles with specific gravity or small particles flow out of the chamber and are collected as a fraction.

An event was held in Matsuyama City on November 23, 2023, to deepen understanding of disabilities by experiencing parasports such as "blind soccer" played by visually impaired athletes. This event was held by the prefecture at the Ehime Prefectural Sports Park in Matsuyama City, with the aim of encouraging people with and without disabilities to experience parasports and deepen their understanding of disabilities. Participants in the event included Jun Mizutani, who won a gold medal in table tennis and mixed doubles at the Tokyo Olympics, and Yu Hirose, who competed in judo at the Tokyo Paralympics, and his wife Junko.

【Major features】

It seems that Tobe Town announced on June 9 that the 2022 “Gongensan Nagashi Somen”, which is scheduled to be held from July to September every year, will be canceled. Canceled to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infection. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to everyone who was looking forward to it, but we ask for your understanding. Gongensan is also known as a small rammer, and is also called the ‘western rammer’ due to its rough rock faces, steep slopes, and chains. It is said that this mountain was built for individuals to develop their own funds by themselves and to train themselves in the same way as Mt. Ishizuchi. It is a place that is suitable for the word training, such as using an iron ladder to climb the slope and using a chain to climb the cliff, making it a difficult mountain to climb. The view from the top of the mountain looks like a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains. I would like to visit it once in the near future. The big event of Tobe ware, which controls the familiar Japanese ceramic industry, is finally being held for the first time in three years. At the Tobe Ware Festival, where 100,000 works of kilns are gathered together, arts and crafts such as daily tableware and vases are sold at a thank-you price, and it seems that many visitors from inside and outside the prefecture are rushing to find bargains every year. It will be held from 9:00 to 20:00 on Saturday, April 16th, 2022, and from 9:00 to 17:00 on Sunday, April 17th. Venue 1 (sold until 20:00 on the 16th) Tobe Town Tokaido Yutori Park (Senzoku, Tobe Town, Iyo District, Ehime Prefecture) Tobe ware large spot sale, prefectural product spot sale, painting experience corner, etc. 2nd venue (17:00 on both days) Tobe Yaki Traditional Industry Hall (Ominami, Tobe Town, Iyo District, Ehime Prefecture) Free admission for 2 days, Tobe Town Chamber of Commerce (Ominami, Tobe Town, Iyo District, Ehime Prefecture). As a supplement, practicality and design such as dyed tableware with bold brush patterns drawn in blue and soft-colored celadon vases using natural ash, making use of the base made of local ceramic stone. It seems that there are many vessels that support daily life that combines. It seems that four types of white porcelain, dyed, celadon, and ceramics (esp. Tea bowls) with a dark glaze that resembles oil spotting (iron glaze) are designated as national traditional crafts. Succeeded in firing white porcelain in the Edo period, and production began in earnest. After the Meiji era, it seems that production has increased as a production center for tableware for Southeast Asia. After the war, it seems that handicraft techniques were highly evaluated by Soetsu Yanagi（Mingei movement）, Bernard Leach, and Shoji Hamada (Mashiko ware: Living National Treasure) who promoted the folk art movement. After that, it changed from a production area that mass-produces under the guidance of ceramic art such as modern design to a production area of porcelain, which is a traditional craft that emphasizes handmade and hand-painted. It is now popular nationwide. Pottery called Tobe ware began to be made in the middle of the Edo period, but according to the materials of the Tobe ware cooperative, the history of the production area goes back to the Asuka period. 1775 Ozu feudal lord, Yasutoki Kato-Ko orders Tobe to make porcelain. Josuke Sugino succeeds in the firing of porcelains. Fujio ISHIMOTO, who was active among the famous textile designers of the world-famous apparel brand “Marimekko” (a lifestyle brand based on Finnish design known for its original prints and colors), is Tobe Town, Iyo District, Ehime Prefecture. Born in the town, he moved to Finland in 1970 and worked as a textile designer for 32 years, four years later. After his retirement, he worked as a potter in the country’s famous kiln “Arabia”, and in September 2020, he moved from the country where he spent half a century to his hometown, Ehime. At the solo exhibition “Fujiwo Ishimoto Exhibition Fruit” being held at the gallery “Mustaki vi Kolme” in Matsuyama City, he showed off his work Fruits before returning to Japan. Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, became the prefectural capital after the establishment of the Ehime Prefectural Government in 1873, and has grown as a political and economic center since the city system was enforced on December 15, 1889. It seems that it has played a role as a base for local culture, such as producing literary figures. In 1945, most of the city was burned down by the war, but now it has comprehensive urban functions, moved to a core city in April 2000, and merged with Hojo City and Nakajima Town in January 2005. It is the first 500,000 city in Shikoku. It extends from Nakajima in the northwestern Seto Inland Sea to the Dogo Plain formed by the Shigenobu and Ishite Rivers through the plains of the Takanawa Mountains. The climate is a warm Seto Inland Sea climate with an average annual temperature of 16.5 degrees Celsius. The annual rainfall is about 1,300 mm, and it seems that it is a summer rain type with a large amount in June and a small amount in December. Precipitation is low overall, snow cover is very small, and typhoons pass less than in Kochi and Tokushima prefectures on the Pacific side, which seems to be a mild and blessed climatic condition. “Nakajima（Oura, Awai ; Kutsuna seven islands）, Matsuyama City”, Konoura (500 m east of Konoura Bay) – 神浦龍神社横 – Yoshinori Kutsuna: 表忠碑 – It is engraved with a tribute to Seichu during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Born on April 1, 2005 by the merger of Iyo City, Nakayama Town and Futami Town. It prospered as a port town of the former Ozu clan, and has been blessed with food and climate. People in the county are said to be calm, bright and friendly, and acquaintances seem to be the same. It is said that there are still many townhouses built from the late Edo period to the early Showa period. Elegance centered around the Miyauchi family In the streets, there is nostalgia for the land of peace. “Iyo hot spring”, which is a natural hot spring, and “Goshikihama hot spring（I hear that it will be closed on December 30, 2016.）”, which is a salt bath.Legend has it that Heike（Taira family）’s princess threw herself into five color stones, Goshikihime-Kaihin-park. The town in the county along the coast is a flat land with few slopes. Historic sites of temples and shrines such as Eiyoji Temple（The end temple of Chion-in: Pure Land sect (of Buddhism)）and Daishido are scattered within 1.5 km in diameter. “Toon City” : Born on September 21, 2004 by the merger of Shigeobu Town and Kawauchi Town. Both towns were born in 1956, respectively. It seems that there is a City named in the eastern part of the vast hot spring district named after Dogo hot spring. Blessed natural environment and geographical conditions near Matsuyama City, the prefecture’s capital. It seems that it continues to develop as a garden city near the city. The Shigenobu River（Basin area 445 km2. Shigeobu Park: A park that uses the riverbed and has been developed as a recreational plaza integrated with the river space.）, which originates in the north, flows through the center of the city and is famous for its fertile land. Blessed with a waterside space full of moisture, rich in emotion. Saragamine Mountain Range Prefectural Natural Park（Southern）: It is connected to the Reihou-Ishizuchisan system（Mt. Ishizuchi, which is the highest peak in western Japan and one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan, is the center. At an altitude of 1982 m, it extends about 50 km east to west along the prefectural border between Ehime and Kochi prefectures. Rich forests with a clear vertical distribution from warm temperate to subarctic shine.Inhabited by alpine plants and wildlife, including rare endemic species. It is said that there are more than 20 mountains with an altitude of 1,500 m or more.）in the eastern part and is blessed with rich nature and beauty of the valley. Since it has many mountainous areas, there are places where there is a lot of snow and places where there is relatively little snow, but the climate is generally calm. The Setonaikai-Sea region seems to be leeward against the northwest monsoon of winter and the southeast monsoon of summer. The weather tends to be mild, with less rain and weaker winds, as rain and snow are dropped on the windward side. The area of the city is 211.3 km2. “Tobe Town, Iyo County” : Located in the center of the Prefecture, it is famous as a town with a fragrant culture and history. On January 1, 2005, Tobe Town and Hirota Village merged and were reborn. An area with strong cohesion in the living area and cultural area of the inhabitants. Industry aspects such as agriculture and forestry are also common, and it seems that educational culture and inter-regional exchanges such as sports were actively carried out. The pottery stone used as the raw material for Tobe ware（The history of the production area goes back to the Asuka period. Even today, the remains of the Sue pottery kiln, which is said to date from the 6th to 7th centuries, remain. It was in the middle of the Edo period（1775 (Anei 4)）that so-called pottery was made. As a sloping town surrounded by mountains, it seems that suitable clay will be produced. A large amount of Pinus densiflora Sieb. & Zucc., which is used as fuel, can be obtained from the surrounding mountains, and the slopes are said to be ideal for building a climbing kiln. The ozu clan, which was in a difficult financial situation due to poor crops due to drought and a fire at the Edo clan’s residence, suggested a new industry : Development of porcelain using the scraps of Iyo whetstone, which is a special product. etc.）was collected at Hirota Village, and it is said that they have been interacting with each other for a long time. Coupled with the warm climate, we grow delicious mandarin oranges. Developed as a commuter town in Matsuyama City, the prefecture’s capital. Prefectural “To be zoo” : One of the largest in western Japan. This month’s idol animal is “Black Rhinoceros（Diceros bicornis (Linnaeus, 1758)）Fu-chan”. The symbol of play and creativity, “Ehime Child’s Castle,” and the prefecture’s general sports park are among the main attractions. In the south, you can see the mountainous areas with abundant forest resources and beautiful natural scenery. The Senba valley created by the flow of the Tamatani River running in the center and the source of pure water shine : Scenic spots such as Mt. Gongen, also known as Nishiishizuchi in Iyo: In early summer, the natural Luciola cruciata Motschulsky, 1854 dances along the river, and you can enjoy a fantastic world. Cultivation of highland vegetables and Dioscorea japonica Thunb. (1784) that take advantage of natural conditions is flourishing. The “art village” where the present, past and future are delicately entwined, such as site groups that feel the romance of ancient time, traditional culture and crafts. It borders Masaki Town and Iyo City in the west, Kumakogen Town in the east, and Uchiko Town in the south. It is an elongated terrain 9 km east-west and 21 km north-south, with an area of 101.59 km2. The northern part is a basin-like terrain where the Tobe River, which flows into the Shigenobu River, flows through the central part. The altitude rises toward the south, and it becomes a mountainous area surrounded by high peaks such as Kitagamori (Mt. Utsubuki: 1010 m) and Sangou no Tsuji (937 m). Town flower : Prunus mume (Sieb.) Sieb. et Zucc., It has been planted since the Edo period, and is now often found in the Nanaore district, where the plum garden is located. The annual Prunus mume Festival (February 20th to March 10th) is held. It is closely related to Tobe ware（traditional crafts）, and it seems that many kilns are still painting with plum blossoms as the theme. Town tree : Quercus acutissima, It is a tree in the village of the former Hirota Village, and it is said that it grows naturally in Tobe Town. When charcoal production was flourishing, it was used as fuel. From around 1955, it is often used as a log of shiitake mushrooms, which is a product of the former Hirota village. Children are also popular because they drop acorns in the fall. I myself think of my childhood. “Masaki Town” : It is adjacent to Matsuyama City, the capital of the prefecture, with the Shigeobu River, which is a first-class river originating from the Ishizuchisan system, as a boundary. It is located in the southwestern part of the Dogo Plain. It faces the Sea of Iyo in the west and Iyo City in the south, overlooking the Shikoku Mountains, and is blessed with abundant nature and land. Former Masaki Town, Kitaiyo village, Okada Village merger in March 1955. It has developed steadily as a town with a good balance of industry and commerce, including agriculture that makes use of abundant water and fertile land. Welfare, education, sewerage business, road maintenance business, etc. It seems that they will actively work on various measures that are directly related to the lives of the townspeople. City area 20.41 km2 East-west 6.9 km North-south 4.0 km Climate is Setouchi Region. The countryside spreads to the east, and agricultural products such as rice, wheat, lettuce, and green onions are cultivated. The west faces the Seto Inland Sea, and I hear that the production of delicacies made by processing small fish has been the best in Japan for a long time. From the Meiji era to the 1965’s, a female fish hawker called Otatasan（Women who peddled around the houses to Matsuyama with wooden tubs and colanders called “Gorobitsu（Chest）” on their heads. Around the Keicho era, Takihime（Princess Taki）, the daughter of the monkey lord of Kyoto, was exiled and washed ashore from the port of Sakai, Senshu, to the beach in front of Iyo Masaki.）was active. In order to earn a living, he was told by local people to sell fish caught on the beach in Matsuki. “Otaki” changes to “Otata” : Town image character : 魚売婦, etc. “Uchiko Town, Kita District” : It is located in the central part of the prefecture. Born as a merger of Kita District (Uchiko / Ikazaki) and Kamiukena District (Oda): 1/1, 2005. About 40 km southwest of Matsuyama City, the prefecture’s capital. In the center is the Oda River, a tributary of the Hijikawa River, a first-class river that flows into the Seto Inland Sea. Although it is a mountainous area, it is famous as a calm and scenic area. The area is 299.50 km2, the area is 30.0 km from east to west, 17.9 km from north to south, and there is little flat land, and forests occupy 77%. It has an inland climate with a slight difference in temperature from the topography of the basin, but the average temperature is about 15 degrees Celsius. The annual rainfall is about 1,500 mm to 1,600 mm, which is an area suitable for cultivation. In deciduous fruit tree persimmons, chestnuts, grapes, pears, etc. Various varieties of vegetables, from leaves to root vegetables, are produced to entertain us. During the Edo period, the foundation was set up as a production center for Japanese paper and Japan wax, and it prospered from the Meiji to Taisho eras. Japan wax brought huge wealth by exporting overseas in the Meiji era, and it is said that luxurious private houses and storehouses were built. In 1982, the private houses（It is about 3.5 ha and is lined up along the town road about 600 m.）were selected as an important traditional buildings preservation district of the country. It is said that the tertiary sector of industry is the mainstream, although it is based on Agriculture. etc. Ehime Prefecture has a total area of about 5,676 km2, of which the forest area is about 4,006 km2, which occupies 71% of the total area, and the cultivated land area is 556 km2, which also occupies 9.8%. The Seto Inland Sea, which extends to the north of Ehime Prefecture, is surrounded by the Shikoku Mountains and Chugoku Mountains in the north and south, and Honshu and Kyushu in the east and west. For this reason, the coastal area of the Seto Inland Sea always hits the leeward side of the mountains against the monsoons of summer and winter, so the annual rainfall is as low as 1,100 to 1,500 mm, and the annual average temperature is around 16 degrees Celsius, which is a relatively warm semi-ocean. It has a semi-inland Setouchi climate. On the other hand, unlike the Seto Inland Sea side, the Uwa Sea coastal area and mountainous areas in the southwestern part of the prefecture have relatively high annual rainfall of 1,600 to 2,000 mm, and there is also snow in winter, and this rain and snow have little rainfall. It seems to be a valuable water resource for the coastal area of the Seto Inland Sea. “Natsumi satsuma oranges” : ‘Kara（A variety announced in the United States in 1935, it is a fruit made by crossing “Owari Satsuma mandarin” and “King mandarin oranges”, and it came to Japan around 1955）Mandarin oranges’ whose parents were born in California, USA × Mating breeding of the native species ‘Yoshiura Ponkan Orange’ Oshima District, Yamaguchi Prefecture : Yashiro island ; Born at KOZO Yamamoto’s farm in Suo-Oshima Town. It has been cultivated since 1978. Blooms around May : Ripe on the tree for about a year until the fruits are ripe and harvested. It can absorb more nutrients than other citrus fruits, resulting in a rich taste. Originally, it has a high sugar content and is fully ripened on the tree : The sourness is settled and the sugar content is higher. It looks like Wenzhou. It has a slightly dark Orange color and the surface is slightly uneven. The skin is a little thick, and it is easy to peel off by hand, and it is easy to remove the tufts like Wenzhou. It contains a little seed, but the taste and flavor are rich and have a refreshing Aroma. The tree is strong and tends to bear fruit with one tree. A comfortable harvest can be expected during the best weather of the year-Harvest is from April to May. There are few kinds of domestic citrus fruits in early summer except for house oranges. Furthermore, it is a variety that is expected and attracting attention.

Natsumi oranges are said to be fully ripened on the tree for about one year from the time the flower blooms in May to the time the fruit ripens and is harvested. Therefore, it seems to be able to absorb more nutrients than other citrus fruits, resulting in a rich taste. It is famous as a citrus with a strong taste that is both sweet and sour at the same time. The richness of the flavor can be seen from the deepness of the color when sliced into round slices.

This excellent agricultural product is a spring citrus that is a cross between kala mandarin and ponkan mikan. Like the Wenzhou mandarin oranges that are sold in the fall, the skin is soft and the inner bag is firm. It is useful as a variety that can be easily peeled and eaten. The taste is characterized by a deep sweetness, followed by moderate acidity, and a refreshing flavor with seasonal scents.

Natsumi mikan has a soft outer skin like unshu mikan, and has the advantage that it can be easily peeled and eaten by hand. The bag inside is sturdy, so you can split it in two or eat one bunch at a time. The difference from Wenzhou mandarin oranges is the presence or absence of seeds. The development breeder’s farm is located in Suo-Oshima Town, Oshima District, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Yamamoto Citrus Farm grows about 50 kinds of citrus fruits, and in early spring, in addition to natsumi oranges, Yuge Hyokan Citrus (a type of pomelo citrus fruit that has existed for a long time) is also available. It is said to have come from Taiwan, and according to farmers in the Akehama and Tanohama districts, a similar variety had been grown long ago, and was called Karakan at the time). Varieties are in season. Natsumi oranges are harvested until the end of July, depending on the weather.
