We have established a pesticide-free cultivation technique using local rice straw（坊さん坊さん, どこ行くの, わたしは田んぼへ稲刈りに, わたしも一緒に連れしゃんせ, お前が来ると邪魔になる,このかんかん坊主, 糞坊主, うしろの正面だあれ） and horse manure in an organic medium and moist underground water. The monk was on his way to the red-light district in the afternoon. During the Edo period, clothing was strictly regulated, and monks were not allowed to go out in plain clothes even on a regular basis. Therefore, no matter where you look at it, it’s a monk. If you go out in disguise, you will be subject to punishment just for that. The villagers saw through this and yelled at the monk who went to harvest rice without wearing field clothes and without a sickle, saying that he was a can-can boy and a shit boy.

In Miho Village, a notification system will begin in January 2023. In order to prevent fraudulent acquisition of copies of resident records, certified copies of family registers, etc., when a copy of a resident record is delivered to a person's agent or third party, the fact that the copy was delivered to a person who has been registered in advance must be confirmed to the person concerned. This is a system to notify the. Copies of resident records and family registers may be obtained by third parties if they meet the requirements. It seems that the identity notification system is not a system for refusing requests from third parties.

Miho Village, Inashiki District, Ibaraki Prefecture, is known as the JRA Japan Central Racing Association (Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato Ward, Tokyo, established on September 16, 1964, capital: 4.9 billion yen). 24,129,000 yen; fully funded by the government). The center was established in 1979. Mushroom production began in the neighborhood in 1982. This year is too close. It doesn’t seem like a mere coincidence. I’ve heard that mushroom cultivation is an effective use of the large amounts of bedding produced by the stables. It seems that this bed straw is essential for making delicious mushrooms. It seems that the discharged bedding is mixed with water, chicken manure, and lime at the compost center to make compost. It seems that this compost is used to make a medium and inoculated with a general mushroom inoculum for cultivation. JA Suigo Tsukuba in Ibaraki Prefecture will start a “food drive” from March 1, 2022 to collect food that is dormant at home in order to support single-parent households and other households in need. Collection boxes were set up at a total of 10 farmers’ markets within the jurisdiction, and it seems that the collected food items were distributed to needy households. Just like these people, we must take seriously the reality that single-mother households are becoming poorer. Excerpt from Yoshimoto Mushroom Co., Ltd. Founded in December 1987, business description Mushroom cultivation and shipping Number of employees: 300 (120 full-time employees, 180 part-time employees) ) Planned production volume for the entire group is 3,800 tons (2022). According to the president, mushroom cultivation is said to be particularly delicate and difficult among mushrooms. In addition to meticulous temperature control, sanitation management against germs and pests seems to be indispensable. Mushrooms are an honest ingredient that can change the scent and taste depending on how you grow them. Using pesticides makes management easier, but grown mushrooms smell like chemicals. At Yoshimoto Mushroom, we grow our mushrooms without the use of pesticides in order to deliver not only delicious mushrooms but also safe and secure mushrooms to our customers. Sparing no effort and effort, he grows delicious mushrooms one by one with affection like his own child. Also, although the consumption in Japan is still small, it is the most eaten mushroom in the world. Meat, vegetables, fish We are proud of being compatible with basically any ingredients. When it comes to mushrooms, both in Japan and around the world, most people think of white mushrooms, but it seems that brown mushrooms actually originate. It seems that you can enjoy a rich flavor that is different from the mellow taste of the white variety. Although they are all mushrooms, they are popular as ingredients with different characteristics and charms. In addition, it seems that each mushroom is called by a name depending on its size. 1, giga mushroom, 2, jumbo mushroom. One of its features is that skilled employees select and grow mushrooms that are likely to grow large. It seems that only about 1 out of 100 normal-sized mushrooms turns into a jumbo mushroom. It seems that you can enjoy the texture and rich taste that you can not taste with normal size mushrooms. In addition, like jumbo mushrooms, mushrooms selected by skilled employees are left and cultivated. It seems that one out of 100 jumbo mushrooms (1 out of 10,000 normal size mushrooms) is a giga (13 cm or more), a very rare product. It seems that the mushrooms that were hidden in the shadows and forgot to grow grew big, so they started cultivating them. Yoshimoto Mushroom sells mushrooms directly at the packing center in Adamadai, Katori City and at the Miho Plant. If you can contact us by phone in advance, it seems that it is possible to hand over the product without waiting. Mushrooms are grown all year round, so they can be purchased at any time, but it seems that we may not be able to meet your request from autumn to winter. In Miho Village, agricultural products are plentiful. Miho rice grown is high-quality rice cultivated using fully-ripened compost from the tressen straw and using as little chemical fertilizers and pesticides as possible. From 2006 to the present, it has been selected as one of eight brands of “Ibaraki’s proud Koshihikari series” based on production volume, cultivation method, taste, etc. as a representative of Koshihikari rice produced in Ibaraki Prefecture. Ko-itten rice is JA Inashiki’s brand rice Koshihikari, which is cultivated using fully-ripened compost from Toresen straw and using as little chemical fertilizers and pesticides as possible. In addition, as a drying method that is gentle on rice, a solar drying facility has been introduced to bring it closer to drying in the sun. The brand name of the figs is “Treasure Box of Clay”. Cultivated without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Rich in vitamins and minerals, this healthy fruit has a chewy texture and a sweet taste. The brand name of shiitake mushrooms is “Forest box”. Believing only in the power of trees, shiitake mushrooms grown completely pesticide-free using raw wood. Under the motto of “Freshly harvested flavor at the table”, it seems that pre-cooled shipment and garnishing are carried out. The strawberry variety is Tochiotome. Raised in fertile rice paddy soil, it boasts outstanding sweetness. Lotus root has long been popular as a food of perpetual youth and longevity. In Miho Village, cultivation is thriving, mainly in the Funako area on the lakeshore, and boasts a healthy and crispy texture. Nanko japanese ume is a good product with small seeds and thick flesh. Umeboshi, plum juice, and plum wine are popular. Paprika is a vegetable with excellent features such as capsanthin’s antioxidant power and nutritional value such as carotene and vitamin C. It seems to be cultivated in one of the largest paprika hydroponics facilities in Japan. As for processed marine products, smelt, whitebait, shrimp, etc., landed in Lake Kasumigaura in front of you, are processed at the processing plant in the village on the same day. It has inherited the traditional manufacturing method since the Meiji period, and features an old-fashioned handmade taste. As for livestock products, dairy farming, fattening cattle, and pig farming are popular. Compost is also used in gardening and agriculture. Eternity, Environment, Earnest. Using these three words starting with “E” as keywords, “We Think E, MIHO” seems to be the catchphrase of the village. This is based on the idea that villagers and the government will form a scrum to “implement resident activities that emphasize the ‘environment’ one by one ‘sincerely’ from their immediate surroundings in order to enable the ‘persistent’ development of the region.” Let’s go.” It’s a wonderful thing, and it seems we need to emulate it. The first of these activities is the branding of agricultural products. Regarding the unified branding, since the foundation of agriculture is the “power of the soil”, organically grown agricultural products that are pesticide-free and low-pesticides will be created from the “Treasure box of soil” and the “power of trees”. With the brand name “Forest box”, it is clear to consumers that it is an eco-friendly agricultural product. Miho Village in Inashiki County is located on the south bank of Lake Kasumigaura overlooking Mt. Tsukuba. A large-scale shell midden from the Jomon period, it is located on the island-shaped “Anju plateau”, which is thought to have been an island in Kasumigaura at the time. There are eight large and small shell middens left on the slopes surrounding a vast plateau with an area of about 0.03 km2. The shell mound dates from the early Jomon period (approximately 7,000 years ago) to the late Jomon period (approximately 3,500 years ago). In 1879, Chujiro Sasaki (1857-1938: born in the Fukui clan, entomologist in the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods. Pioneer of modern sericulture and silk-reeling studies), who was a student at the University of Tokyo, Kai Iijima (1861-1921: Born in what is now Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, was a zoologist and ichthyologist in the Meiji and Taisho eras. He has extensively studied sponges, birds, and parasites, and played a major role in advancing Japanese zoology. Founded by the Ornithological Society of Japan), this site was the first site excavated by Japanese people, and is said to be the origin of Japanese archeology. In 1998, researchers and the surrounding area A village rich in nature and history, where various activities by the development company and local residents have borne fruit, and it has been designated as a national historic site as a representative shell mound site, and efforts have been made to preserve it. It is also famous for its safe and high-quality agricultural products and marine products from Lake Kasumigaura. Geographically, it is close to Tsukuba Science City and Narita, and is famous as a “town” that is convenient for connecting to the Ken-O Expressway and Joban Expressway, which are being developed as roads connecting these core cities and the Tokyo metropolitan area. Taking advantage of this environment, preserving the lakeside culture that has been nurtured since ancient times, and sensitively feeling the winds of a new era, we will create a community where people can live, study, work, and play in Miho Village, and villagers’ cooperatives with the participation of villagers. We are promoting the development of a working town. Also, it seems that there are only two places in Japan where JRA training centers are located. The other is in Ritto City, Shiga Prefecture, which was opened in 1969 in the hilly area of the Kinkatsu mountain range with Lake Biwa nearby. Currently, it seems that Miura Village is the east base and Ritto City the west base for training racehorses. Taking advantage of these “Miho-ness”, we are promoting the development of a town that will open up the flower of lakeside culture. The Ritto Training Center (Ritto-Tresen) has six track-type training courses, a slope training course with a total length of about 1 km, and a racehorse swimming pool in a vast site of about 1.5 million square meters (about 40 Koshien stadiums). , Has various training facilities such as Shoyo long roofed passageway (originally having an earthen floor and used as a bridle path). It also has facilities such as stables for over 2,000 racehorses, a racehorse clinic, a conditioning room, and a riding garden, and it seems that they are operated daily to create strong horses that can compete in the world. Yoshimoto Mushroom Co., Ltd.’s mushroom cardboard inspection and certification system for organic foods: The organic JAS mark is a mark with the image of the sun, clouds and plants. It represents food produced by the power of the natural world without relying on chemical substances such as pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and is attached to agricultural products, processed foods, feeds, livestock products and algae. “Organic agricultural products” are those produced in paddy fields and fields that have been organically managed for at least two years (three years for perennials) before sowing or planting, without using prohibited pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetic modification technology. “Organic processed foods” are those that use 95% or more of such organic agricultural products and are manufactured in such a way that chemicals and non-organic raw materials and products are not mixed. It seems that it is prohibited to use the words “organic” or “organic” in the names of agricultural products and processed foods that do not have the organic JAS mark affixed. In addition, organic farming not only provides safe and secure food, but also maintains and enhances the natural circulation function, creates healthy and fertile soil, and considers environmental problems. Before the establishment of the organic JAS system, various expressions such as “自然”, “organic”, “有機”, and “natural” came to be used with the spread of organic farming, including what kind of production process actually went through. It seems that it was sometimes difficult for consumers to decide “which one is what I want”. In the midst of such confusion and the trend toward international standardization of organic agricultural products, I hear that the JAS Law (Act on Standardization, etc. of Agricultural and Forestry Products) was revised, and the “organic certification system” began. It seems that only those that have been inspected and certified by a “registered certification body” authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries can be labeled as “organic agricultural products” or “organic processed foods.” According to JA Group Ibaraki Agricultural Administration News, the situation surrounding domestic agriculture, etc., the Diet, the government, and the ruling party have decided to spend 3.5 trillion yen as a reserve fund to counter rising prices. On September 20, 2022, the government will spend a total of 3.5 trillion yen from the contingency fund for fiscal 2022 in order to allocate it to measures against rising prices and the development of the medical system for the new coronavirus. Cabinet decision to in addition to spending 1.3 trillion yen to fund fuel subsidies such as gasoline until the end of the year, he spent 800 billion yen to increase support grants that local governments can use to secure hospital beds for the new coronavirus. Financial resources for local governments to take countermeasures against soaring prices according to the actual situation of the region As a result, a new “local subsidy to support soaring prices of electricity, gas, food, etc.” He took measures of 600 billion yen. As examples of initiatives recommended to local governments, the government has shown measures to support the shift from soaring chemical fertilizers to fertilizers that make use of local resources, and countermeasures against soaring electricity costs for irrigation facilities in land improvement districts. Is it seems that he is scheduled to formulate a comprehensive economic package in October following this contingency expenditure, which will include countermeasures against soaring prices. In addition, the Board of Audit proposed a review of the operation of the government’s stockpiled rice. On September 14, 2022, the Board of Audit compiled the results of its inspection of domestic measures for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Regarding the government’s stockpile of rice, the amount of rice purchased exceeds the amount imported under the TPP quota, and it is a problem that it is an excessive measure, and has proposed an inspection and review. Agriculture Minister Tetsuro Nomura (born in Hayato Town, Aira District, Kagoshima Prefecture, appointed in the second Kishida reshuffled cabinet) seems to have indicated at a press conference after the cabinet meeting on September 16 that he has no choice but to reconsider. National Strategic Special Zone WG private sector member replacement. Private-sector members of the government’s National Strategic Special Zones Working Group, which discusses special provisions for farmland acquisition by general companies, are replaced. Agricultural Administration Information-No.52 (October 6, 2022).

In fact, mushrooms are the most consumed mushrooms in the world. In Japan, consumption is still low, so we are trying to boost the market by participating in exhibitions. Yoshimoto Mushroom Co., Ltd.’s market share of mushrooms in Japan seems to be ranked first and second every year. In order to make delicious mushrooms, we are very particular about making this medium and use the latest equipment from Holland to make fungal beds. Because the secondary fermentation and culturing of the bacteria are carried out in dedicated equipment, it is possible to deliver high-quality thick mushrooms that are packed with umami.

It has a rich flavor and aroma, and is suitable for simmered dishes and soups. It also has a longer shelf life than the white variety. With the P2P3 tunnel system of the culture medium manufacturing facility that started operation in 2020, we have achieved complete in-house production of culture medium. With the in-house production of the culture medium, we planned to expand the bacterium house.

In Sakata, which faces the Sea of Japan, various seafood is landed at the port every day, and fresh seafood is jostling throughout the season. In the Edo period, it prospered as a port of call for western-route shipping, and has benefited from the blessings of the sea. Surrounded by the sea, Japan seems to have been fishing and eating fish since prehistoric times. At the Koyamazaki Site (Yuza Town, Akumi District), a site from the early Jomon period, a “fishhook” made of bone was excavated. Spindles (weights attached to nets) that are thought to have been used for fishing and floating pumice stones have also been unearthed, and various types of shells have been unearthed from the Fukura site. It seems that the diet of the people at that time was rich, and many bones of animals that served as food have been excavated.

Regarding Sakata City's indoor skating rink, which will be abolished at the end of 2023, Sakata City Mayor Akiko Yaguchi announced at a press conference on December 4 that she is considering constructing a bridge facility that utilizes existing equipment. I have to. The city has decided to abolish the Sakata City Gymnasium, which is the only indoor skating rink in the prefecture, at the end of 2023 due to safety concerns and aging. As for alternative skating rinks, a council formed by local governments in the Shonai region is calling on the prefecture to construct a new skating rink near Shonai Airport, but no decision seems to have been reached yet. Even if construction were decided, it would take time to complete the project, so at a press conference on the 4th, it was revealed that they were independently considering an alternative facility that would serve as a "bridge（Tsunagi）" using the existing facilities.

Sakata City Regional Abandoned Cultivation Land Countermeasures Council, Farmland Refresh Communication (No. 39) (2012.10.5) P01, implementation period: June 28, 2011 to April 10, 2012, Target area: 1.7 ha (field), work content: removal of obstacles, plowing, land leveling, soil improvement, summary of efforts: summarize the results of this effort, and create a model of agricultural management and production methods for the region. Community farming group By showing it in the weave, etc., we aimed to prevent and eliminate the occurrence of abandoned farmland and foster the bearers. Effort main body: Sakata City Sodeura Agricultural Cooperative (cultivated crops: chives) JA’s case of reusing abandoned farmland Coordination process: Under the cooperation of JA and the regional council, JA staff visited land owners directly and conducted land use coordination. As an overview of JA’s efforts, the number of abandoned farmlands is increasing due to labor shortages due to the aging population and concerns about capital investment due to sluggish agricultural product prices. In March 2009, we started regenerating the farmland to prevent the adverse impact on the surrounding environment caused by turning the farmland into a wilderness. We are working on new production methods and efficient farm management models, and donate some of the harvested vegetables to local elementary schools as school lunch materials. JA, which had been searching for a solution to the increase in abandoned farmland, took this opportunity to strengthen its efforts. As a result, abandoned farmland was selected, an outline of the project was explained to the landowner, and the initiative seems to have materialized. The Sodeura area of Sakata City, located in the Shonai Sand Dunes, is the most popular area for growing Chives in the Shonai region. It seems that the producers in this area have inherited the bulbs of this excellent agricultural product from generation to generation in their own homes, and have grown and shipped them as an important source of income in the winter. Recently, with the aim of further expanding consumption, we have brought Chives to the Tokyo Central Wholesale Market and held tasting parties for those involved in the market. It seems to be highly rated for its spiciness and crisp texture. Chives, which are popular as a winter delicacy in Shonai, are one of the valuable native crops that remain in this region. It is originally a perennial plant of the genus Allium of the Liliaceae family that grows naturally in various parts of Japan. It is a plant with a strong vitality, and since it is a bulb, it is difficult to crossbreed, and it seems to prefer a sunny and moderately well-watered land. Since ancient times in Shonai, people dug up the underground parts of Chives that seemed to have died completely during the harsh winter when the snow blew, and picked and ate the yellow sprouts inside as a valuable source of vitamins. It seems that a lot of the grown ones are being shipped. The bulbs are dug up in June, dried in the shade, and replanted around August. The bulbs split during autumn, and the leaves wither in winter, but the new shoots seem to grow little by little without dormancy. Carefully dig up the roots, place them in a flat box with the roots facing down, and place them in a plastic greenhouse at a temperature of about 18°C for a week to 10 days. It seems to remove old leaves. After being washed thoroughly with cold water to remove sand, they are shipped mainly to markets in Tokyo and its suburbs from December to March every year. I also heard that the name comes from the fact that it is used when the leaves are still lightly colored, before the leaves turn green. There is also a theory that it is less spicy (lighter) than garlic (hirutsuki: Japanese-made thing made by crushing garlic). In the Shonai area, it is also called “Kimoto”. It grows naturally in Hokkaido and the Tohoku region, which I longed for, and around Sakata City, it seems that they have selected relatively thick and delicious ones and cultivated them in sandy soil for food. Cultivation seems to take time and effort, such as planting the bulbs in August, digging up the grown stocks in the winter, and warming them in a greenhouse for about a week to 10 days so that new shoots will sprout. It is often used as a condiment, but in Yamagata Prefecture, it seems that it is standard to boil it and eat it with vinegared miso to take advantage of the bitterness and spiciness that you can feel in the unique sweetness of the sprouts, and the crunchy texture and fragrant flavor. Among them, the Jurizuka area, which utilizes sand dunes for cultivation, is a large production area. It is also said that when you enter the village, you can smell the green onions. For those who like it, it will be unbearable. Green leaves appear in autumn and wither in winter. Harvest the shoots in the ground. The dug out Chives are arranged in flat boxes and transferred to the greenhouse. It seems to be watered every day, allowed to grow for about a week, washed with water, cut off the hair roots, peeled and shipped. Chives may be thought to be expensive, but they seem to be an agricultural product that takes a lot of work and cannot be produced with ordinary effort. It seems that it was after 1955 that the government’s administrative intervention in the regional economic structure of the Shonai region of Yamagata Prefecture began in earnest after the war, with regard to the wide-area distribution of fruits and vegetables and the distribution system. Especially after 1960, when the rapid economic growth started, the price of perishable food rose significantly and became a social problem because agricultural production did not keep up with demand, even though demand increased greatly. It seems. With this as an opportunity, the reason why production did not expand was that production was not stable due to price instability, and that the development of distribution channels was delayed. There seems to be a strong demand for it. In response to this situation, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry implemented a fruit and vegetable price stabilization project in June 1962, and in 1963 started a designated production area project in an attempt to stabilize supply and demand by linking large-scale production areas and large-scale markets. It seems that this was later codified as a designated production area business. Furthermore, in July 1963, the Cabinet of Hayato Ikeda (1899-1965: born in Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, 59th Prime Minister) issued the “Guidelines for Improving the Distribution of Perishable Foods” As materials, we will newly investigate the distribution structure, distribution volume, price, distribution loss amount, distribution costs, etc. of perishable foods at each transaction stage from the shipping stage to the retail stage, and improve the distribution statistics of perishable foods. In July 1966, the “Vegetable Production and Shipment Stabilization Law” was enacted. This is to promote the modernization of the production and shipping of designated vegetables in certain production areas in a planned manner. This law was enacted with the aim of contributing to the sound development of vegetable agriculture and the stability of the consumer lifestyle of the people. During the decade from 1960 to 1970, the urbanization of Tokyo and its surroundings progressed, and vegetables had to be supplied from remote areas. As a result, the situation of vegetable distribution changed completely to the modern long-distance transportation distribution of vegetables. A new distribution structure he called the wide-area distribution market system was established mainly in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. Developed mainly in the central wholesale markets of the three major cities of Furthermore, after the enactment of the Wholesale Market Law in 1971 (recently, the Wholesale Market Law and the Food Distribution Structure Improvement Promotion Law were partially amended), during the next ten years until the country entered a period of low economic growth, the central governments of provincial cities With the rapid increase in the wholesale market, the expansion of designated consumption areas, the expansion of designated production areas, the progress of agricultural co-operative sales, and the rapid expansion of mass retailers in the retail sector, the wide-area mass distribution system has grown. It seems to have expanded nationwide. On November 30, 2022, the prefecture and five cities and towns in the Shonai region held the first meeting to exchange opinions on the publicization of Tohoku University of Public Service and Arts, and agreed to aim for early realization. The first meeting to exchange opinions was attended by the Vice Governor of Yamagata Prefecture and the chiefs of five Shonai municipalities. The public interest university in Sakata City was established in 2001 as a “publicly established and privately run” university funded by the prefecture and local governments in the Shonai region and operated by a private school corporation. The city of Sakata and the university have asked the prefecture to “make it a public institution”, saying that it is necessary to stabilize management in anticipation of the declining birthrate in the future. Oga Shrine and Harunire Tree (Hirooka Shinden): The enshrined deity is the Uganome no Okami. On November 25, 1922, seven years after the death of Takizo Sato in Sakanobe Shinden, Sodeura Village (now Sakata City), a ceremony was held at the Sato family centered on Mr. Kyuzo, the then head of the Sato family. At the meeting, Choryo Sakai (1848-1926), who devoted himself to the development of agriculture and was also famous for the cultivation and spread of Shonai persimmons, seems to have dedicated the following rites in recognition of his achievements. (Omitted) Sakanobe Shinden reconciled the turmoil between the public and private sectors with the unendurable power of the old man, and the traditional Kaen Hundred-odd Town Walks show steady progress year by year, among which persimmons. We have 10,000 trees and 20,000 or 30,000 peach trees. As seen in the Choryo ritual, it is said that Takizo’s old man’s efforts contributed to the widespread cultivation of fruit trees in this area and the increase in profits from persimmons, peaches, and apples. They are descendants of Taroemon Sato, who made great achievements in planting and developing the sand dunes of Shonaigawa Minami, and founded Hirooka Shinden (now Sakata City) and Sakanobe Shinden. Born in the family of New rice field head, he seems to have inherited his ancestor’s will and became “Kyodentsuu-Shokutsuki-Goyominarai” in 1859. In 1863, he was dispatched by the Shonai clan to guard the coast against foreign ships. He also worked on construction of 30 houses for the clansmen, how to handle rice for the clansmen, monitoring of gunpowder storehouses, and investigation of new rice field development. There is Apart from the migration of Shonai feudal retainers to this area, it seems that his efforts also played a major role in the development of Koya-Yachi and the opening of Iimoriyama Village by immigrants from Sakanobe Shinden. One of his achievements is the government-owned forest refund campaign. With the 9-year land tax reform every hour, the privately-owned forests in this area were incorporated into the government-owned forests. In 1890, each village in Sodeura launched a campaign to sell government-owned forests free of charge. Hirooka Shinden and Monzo Kubo, Jurizuka and Tamizo Takahashi, Kuromori and Tamizo Sato, and Sakanobe Shinden’s Takizo are said to have played a central role. In 1904, when the sale of the government-owned forest was rejected, in 1905 Keigo Kiyoura (1850-1942: born in Yamaga City, Kumamoto Prefecture. 23rd Prime Minister of the Empire of Japan.) filed an administrative lawsuit against Minister of Agriculture and Commerce. Waking up Takizo, Tamizo, and others traveled to Tokyo several times as part of their campaigns, and apparently held oral arguments dozens of times. On July 10, 1912, he finally won the lawsuit against private land being pulled back from public land. The black pine forests of the Shonai Sand Dunes are one of the largest in Japan, with a total length of about 33 km and an area of about 2,500 ha, from Fukura in Yusa Town to Yunohama in Tsuruoka City. This Pinus thunbergii Parl forest has a history of about 300 years and is a great heritage inherited from our predecessors. Currently, desertification due to deforestation is progressing on a global scale, but in the Shonai region, the forest disappeared and desertified during the Warring States period about 500 years ago. For this reason, it is exposed to the ferocity of flying sand, and damage such as flooding due to the burial of farmland and the burial of rivers occurs frequently. Afforestation of the Shonai Sand Dunes began with the conclusion that the only way to prevent these damages was to restore the forest to the sand dunes. , regenerating lush forests into barren dunes. Afforestation on sand dunes began in earnest in the 18th century, and since Mitsuoka Honma (1733-1801: wealthy farmer and great merchant capitalist in the late Edo period) is especially famous, there is a misconception that all of the afforestation was done by the Honma family. Although it is sometimes done, the planting of vast sand dunes seems to have been achieved through the efforts of many pioneers and people. And most of the black pine forests we see today are from the feudal era, and most of them seem to have been planted after World War II through the efforts of the government and local communities. The history of the black pine forests of the Shonai Sand Dunes is not a tale of the past, but rather a 300-year history of steady public interest that has continued uninterrupted to the present day. The road is not smooth, and there seems to be a repeated history of failure and rebirth, destruction and reflection. During the feudal era, the forests were planted by the domain and pioneers, and in modern times, by the government. Currently, not only administrative agencies, but also local residents, students, and other volunteers work together to protect and nurture the black pine forests, and engage in forest environmental education in the field of black pine forests. It seems that Disappearance of Natural Forests and Desertification: The Shonai Sand Dunes were covered with natural forests, mainly broad-leaved trees, until the Middle Ages. , in the barren sands It is said that As fuel for salt production was exhausted, firewood called shiogi (fuel used to boil seawater in salt pans) was transported by boat from the forests upstream using rivers. Barren sand dunes are blown up by the wind and become terrifying “moving sand dunes”, burying river mouths with sand and causing frequent floods. Due to the loss of forests, people suffered from the double affliction of “sand blowing” and “flooding.” Afforestation on sand dunes: Initially, various tree species were planted, but only a limited number of tree species could grow on the harsh coastal sand dunes. It was not until the middle of the 18th century that trees were planted. After dividing the area produced many leaders called predecessors. Struggle with sand after World War II: Sabo forests, which had been created through the efforts of our predecessors, declined due to the chaos during and after the war. In the villages by the sea, sand blew into the houses, and people used to eat under umbrellas. Also, when the house was filled with sand, all the villagers dug the sand, packed it in a “sand box”, and carried it on their backs to throw it out to the sea. This lifestyle seems to have continued until the late 1955s. Kobo Abe’s (1924-1993) novel “The Woman in the Sand”, published in 1962, seems to have been inspired by life in the Shonai sand dunes. Large post-war erosion control afforestation project: In the local area, which suffered from blown sand, privately owned forests on the front of the sand dunes were donated to national forests Start. Many local people were employed in the work, and by using local materials such as straw, bamboo, and reeds for planting trees, they played a major role in post-war reconstruction. Fuel revolution, changes in lifestyles, changes in forests In the 1960s, there was a rapid shift from forest-dependent fuels such as firewood and charcoal to fossil fuels such as gas and oil. The relationship between forests and people rapidly faded away, and devastation due to lack of maintenance of forests and damage by pests such as pine weevils (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) spread. Passing on a Great Heritage to the Future: The black pine forests of the Shonai Sand Dunes are a heritage inherited from our predecessors and are an indispensable treasure for the region. Now, we will reconsider its history and functions, and protect and nurture it without destroying it in our generation. It seems that activities to connect to the future are being actively carried out. On the way to the melon production area of Shonai Sand Dunes, there are many large sake breweries. The famous Hamanaka district of Sakata City and the Oyama district of Tsuruoka City. There is good quality underground water in this area, which is said to be the source of high-quality sake. And melons are grown in the adjacent sand dunes. Well-drained sand dunes are favorable for melons. If there is a lot of moisture, the melon will absorb it and the sugar content will not increase. And the strong sunshine during the day, the coolness at night, and the best groundwater. It seems that many conditions are met. On the sand dunes protected by pine forests that block the sea breeze, melon fields spread out like an oasis in the desert and soothe us. During the midsummer daytime, the temperature is high enough to burn the soles of the feet (inflammation), while at night the wind from the sea makes it very cold. This temperature difference produces a rich sweetness, and the Shonai Sand Dunes Melon is a specialty product that boasts an overwhelming shipment volume as a melon that reaches its season in summer. Taroemon Sato, who was introduced earlier, is one of the people who has made great achievements in planting and developing the Shonai sand dunes. In 1706, Taroemon’s grandfather, Zengoro, developed 309 koku of rice in Hirooka Shinden Village (now Sakata City). His father, Taroemon, moved to Hirookashinden with the villagers of Nishichihara and Ibarashinden (present-day Tsuruoka City) the following year, and formed a village of 16 households, serving as a steward. As with Kawakita, the sand dunes in Kawaminami were also badly damaged by flying sand, and Hamanaka Village (currently Sakata City) began planting trees in the middle of the Genna era, but it took a long time to see success. It seems In 1707, the teenage Taroemon was appointed Gorin no Kami along with Yoroku and Kiemon of Hamanaka Village. In 1728, Gorin no Kami, such as Taroemon, issued a petition to monitor illegal cutting of sand protection forests and to control Gorin, thus protecting the forests. Even though it was developed, Hirooka Shinden Village at that time was suffering from heavy sand and poor drainage, and the villagers were having a hard time. So he bought the saplings himself and planted them in the field, and when they grew, he consulted with his younger brother Kyutaro. In 1732, he dug a new river to Shimotori Karasumakibuchi in Kuromori Village (present-day Sakata City) in order to save the villages in this area from flood damage. As a result, the yield has increased, and it seems that all the borrowed rice can be paid on top. They planted millet and oak, and also purchased seeds of Yoshino cedar, Akita Noshiro cedar, Kiso cypress, and Noto pine at their own expense, and planted them in the villages of Hamadori, Mt. In 1745, he became a planter of Kyodentsuu, and in the same year he created a bamboo grove of 25 square meters in Hirooka Shinta village and provided bamboo for construction. In 1749, he began planting pine trees on Mt. Iimori, and from Mt. It seems that it has come to do. Taroemon further planned to plant trees on the entire sandy land up to Miyanoura Village (present-day Sakata City), and particularly on Mt. Sakanobe, where the wind was incomparably stronger than in Hirooka, and it was too far to commute from Hirooka. , Sakanobe’s valley and fields were entrusted to him, and he requested that he build a house here, create a village, and plant plants there. Permission was granted in 1762, and Taroemon himself moved to this area and opened Sakanobe Shinden Village (now Sakata City). He also planted more than 1.81,818 km from Mt. Saigogumi Komayama to Mt. Hashiki, but the planting continued after that, and by 1800 in the generation of his grandson Yuiemon, the number of trees planted was 850,000. I have reached the limit. The main character of imoni, a famous Yamagata dish. In Japan, it is said that taro, which has been cultivated since the Jomon period and was a staple food before rice cultivation, is said to have been named taro because it is cultivated in villages, as opposed to yam that grows naturally in the mountains. Imoni party（People in northeastern Japan hold a Imoni party at a riverside and they eat Imoni and drink alcohol together）, one of the representative local dishes of Yamagata Prefecture, is originally suitable for cultivation in soil with abundant moisture, but we have established a cultivation method that improves the taste and quality even in sandy soil with relatively low water retention capacity. Did It came from the fact that “Wase Yamato Taro” is suitable for cultivation in sand dunes in the prefectural test research. Due to the difference in soil, it has a smooth and soft texture compared to taro produced in fields in inland regions with high moisture content. Since it is grown on sandy soil, it is easy to remove dirt and moisture from the surface, and there is little risk of post-harvest rotting and the hassle of removing mud. Influence of Settlement Time on Early Digging Cultivation of Taro in Shonai Sand Dunes : Yamagata Prefectural Shonai Comprehensive Branch Office Production Area Laboratory, Yamagata Prefectural University of Agriculture and Forestry) , In the sand dunes in the Shonai region of Yamagata Prefecture, irrigation facilities have been developed, and melons and Facility cultivation such as cherry tomatoes The cultivation of open-air vegetables such as open-air tunnel melons, Japanese white radish, and red turnips is popular. However, in recent years, due to the effects of labor shortages due to the aging of farmers, outdoor vegetable cultivation The area is decreasing, and idle farmland seems to be increasing. For this reason, the introduction of new land-use crops that require relatively little cultivation management effort has become an urgent issue. By the way, taro, which is a land-use product, is in high demand in Yamagata Prefecture as a main ingredient in imoni, a local dish. There is not enough, and the situation is responding to outside the prefecture. On the other hand, the production of taro is low nationwide in August, and the market price is relatively high, so labor productivity is expected to be secured. Regarding his August / September shipment of this excellent produce, he seemed to indicate that in the Murayama area of Yamagata Prefecture, he could plant in early to mid-May and harvest in mid-September. To speed up the harvest, plant It seems that it is important to speed up the timing. One of the characteristics of the Shonai sand dunes is that the snow melts quickly, making it possible to prepare the fields quickly, and the ground temperature rises quickly in early spring. The possibility of securing a yield of 1,000 kg or more per I seem to have shown. Therefore, we examined the suitable planting time for his early digging cultivation in the Shonai sand dunes in late August. Wild Chives can be seen widely in the Tohoku region and Hokkaido, but especially around Sakata City, we select those with good shape and taste. I love the history of cultivation in the sand dunes and the love of our predecessors.

The coastal area centered on the Shonai Plain has the characteristics of an oceanic climate, with heavy rain and high humidity. In winter, the amount of snowfall is small, but the northwest monsoon is strong and sometimes snowstorms occur. It is famous as a granary of mild climate from spring to autumn. In the Shonai region, it seems that people have dug up the underground parts of Chives during the harsh winter when snow blew since the Edo period, and picked and ate the yellow sprouts as a valuable source of vitamins. In recent years, it has also been shipped to the Tokyo metropolitan area.

The Shonai Sand Dunes are elongated sand dunes that stretch about 34 km from north to south and are four times larger than the Tottori Sand Dunes. Shonai’s sandy beach was created by the action of rivers and wind. The earth and sand carried by the Mogami River, the Gekko River, and the Hyuga River to the sea are blown back to the beach by strong seasonal winds, forming high sand dunes. Western sand dunes from the sea side, The dunes are divided into three rows, the central sand dunes and the eastern sand dunes, and are higher in this order. Western sand dunes are divided into artificial sand dunes and Meiji sand dunes. The artificial sand dune is the newest, and it seems that it was built by the government after 1945 to prevent damage from flying sand. The Meiji sand dunes were formed by the construction of erosion control fences, planting trees, and other erosion control projects during the Meiji period to protect farmlands. The altitude of this dune is around 20 m.

Chives is a plant of the Allium genus that originally grows naturally from Hokkaido to Honshu and Shikoku. Although it is used as a wild vegetable nationwide, it has been cultivated for a long time in Shonai. It has been cultivated with great care as a valuable raw vegetable from winter to early spring when there are few vegetables. In addition, it has a long history and has been used since the Heian period, and it seems that it was also cultivated in the Edo period.

Preventing the damage of prejudice and discrimination against the patient’s family: Mycobacterial infection, which mainly affects the skin and peripheral nerves, currently has a certain number of patients mainly in developing countries, but in Japan, several new patients are diagnosed every year. Mycobacterium leprae (Mycobacterium genus, same as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacteria contain mycolic acid (wax component: about 60 to 90 carbon atoms (C60H122 to C90H182)). It is covered with a characteristic membrane structure and is highly resistant to alkalis and acids), and it prefers to attack the skin because the optimal temperature for growth is around 31°C.

Characteristic investigation of new peach varieties - Part 1 - Mr. Hagiwara, Hirohiko Ikeda, Akira Tomita, Katsuhiro Shintani, Michiko Yamashita, Yamanashi Prefecture Nakakita Agricultural Office Variety, growth characteristics, fruit quality, peach production in Yamanashi Prefecture Ranked 1st in terms of cultivation. The area is 3,410 ha, which is used for grapes in fruit cultivation in the prefecture. It has the second largest area and is one of the main fruit trees in Yamanashi Prefecture. The optimum harvest period for each type of peach is short, and the fruit does not last long, so the harvest times are different at production sites. We are extending the shipping period by combining a large number of products. According to the 2015 survey on the dynamics of specialty fruit trees, There are 18 varieties that have a cultivation area of 10 ha or more. It can be seen that many varieties are cultivated. However, among the varieties currently cultivated, wase varieties generally have small balls, low sugar content, and often suffer from core cracking. In addition, although mid-late varieties have excellent fruit quality, there are many varieties that lack pollen and require artificial pollination, and varieties that have difficulty cultivating, such as conspicuous cracking and fruit drop. In addition, the appearance of major varieties. Following varieties that complement the period of low stock and late maturing varieties. There is also a need for an abundance of very late-maturing varieties that can be harvested quickly. For this reason, there is a need for new superior varieties that can replace or complement existing varieties, and new varieties are being actively cultivated both in the public and private sectors. However, for the varieties bred in recent years, detailed characteristics and suitability for cultivation in Yamanashi Prefecture have not been fully clarified. This is a barrier to introducing new varieties. Therefore, in this test, we will focus on the Research on the characteristics of cultivated varieties and their suitability for cultivation within the prefecture Implemented. In the 2006-2010 characteristic survey, we focused on the wase variety, which is expected to be of good quality, the extremely wase variety, which is harvested after late August, and the yellow-fleshed variety, whose cultivation has increased in recent years. In addition, in the 2011-2015 characteristic survey, we focused on early maturing varieties that mature at the same time as 'Hikawa Hakuho' and mid-maturing varieties that are expected to have excellent cultivability. We will report on the characteristics of the variety.

According to Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, leprosy (alpho: from the Norwegian Dr. Gerhard Hansen (1841-1921) who discovered Mycobacterium leprae) does not appear to be a contagious disease. In handling outpatients, examinations, and hospitalizations, the same caution as HBs antigen-positive (HBe antigen-negative: HBV has strong proliferative and infectious power, suggesting the possibility of severe liver damage if hepatitis develops) is required. It seems to be enough. No need for isolation, use of private rooms, or special disinfection of equipment. However, it seems better to avoid direct contact between infants and infants with L-type leprosy patients who have not received any treatment. It appears to be a treatable disease with a good prognosis. However, there are still some social prejudices that have not been wiped out, and special attention should be paid to protecting privacy. The lesions and clinical symptoms of Hansen’s disease are sometimes difficult to understand because they consist of both direct tissue destruction caused by the proliferation of M. leprae and secondary tissue destruction caused by the body’s immune response to M. leprae. It seems that there is something. It shows various symptoms depending on the disease type. Type T (Tuberculoid type), in which cell-mediated immunity to Mycobacterium leprae is almost normal, occurs when the immune system is weakened for some reason and the patient becomes infected with the bacterium. Many disorders occur, and it seems that diagnosis is mostly made from clinical symptoms such as neuropathy.), a few white spots or erythema accompanied by hypoesthesia, peripheral nerve hypertrophy and paralysis, and leprosy is hardly detected. Type L (Lepromatous type, type I) in which cellular immunity against Mycobacterium leprae does not work: A yellowish-brown to reddish-brown rash and raised nodules appear symmetrically on the whole body. The most common sites are the face, hair, and eyebrows. In severe cases, facial deformation may also occur )), erythema, papules, and nodules occur frequently on the face and extremities. It seems that it can be done. As L-type progresses, glove / sock-like hypoesthesia appears. Type B (borderline type), in which cell-mediated immunity is unstable, appears to show polyneuritis accompanied by eruption. In neuropathy, the sensory nerves (ulnar, radial, sural, major auricular nerves, etc.) in low-temperature areas such as the extensor sides of the extremities and the face are damaged singly and violently (T type) or multiple times and slowly (L type). Hypersensitivity and hypoesthesia seem to occur. In type B, the symptoms of polyneuritis are often strong from the beginning. When inflammation reaches the motor nerves, motor paralysis and deformation occur in the periphery. Palpation is important because the above nerves are prone to nerve hypertrophy and tenderness. Lepromin (Mitsuda Reaction), an intradermal reaction to M. leprae antigens: Kensuke Mitsuda (1876-1964): A doctor who devoted himself to leprosy relief in Japan. After graduating from school, he studied pathology at the University of Tokyo elective course.Healthy people and neuroleptic leprosy patients show positive.The judgment method is tuberculin (substances (several kinds of proteins) separated and purified from the culture solution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis). However, since April 2005, direct BCG vaccination has been introduced and the tuberculin skin test has been omitted. When BCG vaccination is given at a medical institution as a voluntary vaccination beyond that, a tuberculin reaction test may be performed at the discretion of the doctor), and the reaction is negative for L-type. , T-type is positive, and serum anti-PGL-I antibody is high in L-type and low in T-type. It seems to be useful in classifying disease types. The WHO defines leprosy as any case that satisfies one or more of the following three criteria. Depigmentation or red rash (single or multiple) with apparent anesthesia. Peripheral nerve disorder, with obvious peripheral nerve hypertrophy with anesthesia. An acid-fast bacilli smear test from the skin was positive. Hansen’s disease used to be treated in specialized medical institutions (leprosy sanatoriums, dermatology outpatient clinics at certain universities, etc.), but today, as with other common diseases, general clinics and hospitals around the world do not treat leprosy. are treated with In Japan, too, it is recommended to receive treatment at an outpatient department of dermatology or neurology at a general hospital. Partly because of the history of the disease, doctors with extensive experience with Hansen’s disease tend to be unevenly distributed in a small number of medical institutions in Japan. It seems to be ideal that these doctors and the medical institution where the patient wants to receive treatment cooperate with each other. Also, from April 1996, it seems to be covered by health insurance. Treatment takes a few months at the shortest, and usually a few years, so it seems that you need to be prepared to sit down and deal with the disease without panicking. Kasugai Town is said to be the oldest capital of Kai Province. Based on the theme of “Ancient Kai no Sato,” historical materials related to history and culture are exhibited, including a restored model of a three-storied pagoda, which is said to have existed at the Teramoto Abandoned Temple, which was located near the Folk Museum. In addition, special exhibitions are held two to three times a year, and the annual “Wagamachi no August 15th Exhibition” displays more than 1,000 photographs and relics of the war dead in Fuefuki City, which is highly acclaimed. Seems to be getting Also, Masako Ogawa (1902-1943: After graduating from Tokyo Women’s Medical College (currently Tokyo Women’s Medical University), he became a medical officer at Nagashima Aiseien, a national sanatorium in Okayama Prefecture, where he treated and examined patients. Kojima no Haru（Adapted by Yasutaro Yagi and directed by Shiro Toyoda, Masako Ogawa’s memoir of the same name, which records the journey of a patient with leprosy (leprosy) to a national sanatorium. The story of a female doctor who dedicated her life to treating leprosy, published in 1940.）became a bestseller and was later made into a movie and widely known. The work depicts the state of the medical examination and the scene of the patient’s farewell from his family in an elegant style. In 1943, Miss died of tuberculosis in her hometown of Kasugai, Yamanashi Prefecture, at the age of 41. However, heq compassionate actions are still etched in the hearts of many people to this day. It is said that Ogawa was the impetus for him to go on the path of helping Hansen’s disease patients. Once the sanatoriums were established, the demand for medical personnel to work at the sanatoriums increased rapidly, but it seems that there were not many doctors who wanted to work at such facilities. In the era when the leprosy went to war, many of our graduates, like Miss, played a major role in helping Hansen’s disease patients.) The memorial hall is dedicated to Kasugai Town, who dedicated his life to helping alpho; Hansen’s disease（Mycobacterium leprae is a chronic infectious disease that mainly attacks the skin and nerves, but it is a curable disease in modern times with established treatment methods. Named after the Norwegian physician Armauer Hansen, who discovered the bacterium leprae in 1873. The growth rate of M. leprae is very slow, and the incubation period is about five years, but it seems that in some cases it takes as long as 20 years to develop symptoms. The first sign is patches on the skin, accompanied by loss of sensation in the affected area. The route of transmission is still unclear, and it is believed that the virus is transmitted through droplets from the nose and mouth through frequent contact with untreated patients. It is also less contagious and most people have natural immunity. Therefore, it is said to be the least infectious disease.）patients. Established to honor the achievements of Ms. Masako Ogawa, the town’s first doctor, and pass it on to future generations. On the morning of June 15, 2022, a farmer noticed that a large number of unharvested peaches had disappeared from a field in Fuefuki City, and a total of about 1,400 peaches were stolen from four adjacent fields, according to police. I know from my research. The police suspected that it was stolen from the morning of the 14th to the 15th of the same month and investigated it as a theft case. Around 7:00 am on the 15th, a farmer in Kuwado, Kasugai Town, Fuefuki City, noticed that a large number of peaches he had been growing had disappeared and reported to the police. According to police and forensic investigations, about 1,400 peaches of a cultivar called “Hikawa Hakuhou Peach”, which had been cultivated in four adjacent fields and had not yet been harvested, were lost, and the damage was worth about 420,000 yen. seems to have climbed to According to the police, it was confirmed that there was no abnormality in the field when the farm work was finished around 11:00 am on the 14th, so the police said that someone invaded the field from around noon on the 14th to the morning of the 15th. It is suspected that he took it away and was investigated as a theft case. The other day, about 1,000 peaches about to be harvested were stolen from an orchard in Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture, and the police investigated it as a theft case. Around 5:00 am on July 11, at an orchard in Kamata, Fukushima City, about 1,000 unharvested peaches were found missing from the trees and reported to the police. According to the police, some of the large orchards near the road were targeted, and the damage amount seems to be about 160,000 yen. The police are investigating the theft as someone stole it during the 10 hours from the end of the work around 6:30 pm on the 10th to the start of the work on the 11th morning. A female parliamentarian elected from another prefecture is using SNS to post about the theft of agricultural products, which has become a serious problem in recent years. I’ve been receiving a lot of consultations for a long time, and I’ve been moving to see if I can do something about it. However, the problem is complex and no breakthrough has been found yet. For example, since the introduction of cameras to capture evidence is a particularly heavy financial burden for small-scale farmers, we are discussing whether it is possible to provide assistance that also serves as a countermeasure against wildlife damage. After being arrested for red-handed crime, we have heard from elderly farmers in rural areas that, even if they witness the scene, they cannot move because they are afraid of counterattacks if there are multiple young foreigners. There are patrols and other measures in the area, but there is a limit without manpower. We must take measures that do not increase the burden on the victim’s side. When I found it, I immediately reported it, and when I actually talked to the small-scale victim, I said, Are you a technical intern trainee at some farmers? In the countryside, people understand human relationships and circumstances, so some people give up reporting and fall asleep. It seems difficult to mercilessly ask for a report. Even if you report and catch it, you will not be prosecuted, which is really frustrating and a problem for thieves. Lawmakers cannot intervene in the prosecution’s decisions, but too many cases are not prosecuted. Don’t you take the theft of agricultural products lightly? Even if you are on camera, you will not be prosecuted. Foreigners who have committed criminal acts should be prosecuted and brought to justice, and should be immediately deported stop selling. Large-scale thefts are stolen because they sell, so it is necessary to stop the sales route. For example, I understand that there are formal people, such as street sales where the provenance is unknown, and sales on Mercari, etc., but if they are used as a destination for handling stolen goods, it is not possible to introduce sales qualifications such as identity guarantees for agricultural product listings. It seems that I am looking for it. In my opinion, people who commit crimes are the worst and cause a lot of trouble. However, there are many fundamental problems, and they are piling up. In the first place, there are countless reasons why agriculture has not developed (Special class (treatment) of agricultural workers（The number of household members engaged in self-employed farming as a regular job among the farming population. Since 1985, the number of commercial farmers (farmers with farmland of 30 a or more or annual sales of agricultural products of 500,000 yen or more)）, declining birthrate, aging population, soaring fertilizer prices, immigration policy, exclusively defense posture, japan’s economic stagnation for about 30 years, etc.). I think it’s still meaningful for young politicians to send out information, but the original point is what to do in order not to make more people sad. Japan’s rank has fallen among the developing countries, the happiness ranking has dropped significantly, young people are worried about their future, and they are trying to break through vested interests. In Japan, where there is no leeway, the question is what to do if Japanese politicians and governments torture Japanese people any further. Without flattering authority or status, I would like you to pay attention to gradually reduce the number of people who say that if only they are good, they don’t care about others. In order for children and young people with a bright future to become shameless politicians and adults, why don’t the government lift its weight and release the policies that oppress the people? On August 9, 2022, a conference made up of peach-producing regions nationwide, such as Fuefuki City, will be held online. It seems that the mayors of Fuefuki, Yamanashi, Koshu, Fukushima, and Kinokawa in Wakayama Prefecture participated in the meeting. It has been confirmed that they will discuss the United States’ request to Japan to lift the ban on imports of peaches, and cooperate with related organizations to collect information on the quality and price of American peaches. In addition, it seems that they have decided to hold a “National Peach Summit” in Yamanashi City next year in 2023, where people involved in the production areas will gather to discuss how to respond to the request to lift the ban on imports. When the six towns and villages (Isawa Town, Misaka Town, Ichinomiya Town, Yatsushiro Town, Sakaigawa Village, Kasugai Town) merged on October 12, 2004, the name of the new city was solicited. It was narrowed down to two points, “Kyoto City”, and as a result of the final vote, it was decided to be Fuefuki City. Just as the water flowing through the six merged towns and villages gathers in the Fuefuki River, a number of streams became a big flow triggered by the merger, and the name was raised to become the center of Yamanashi, and it became a big swell and the ocean. It is a name with a wish to make a leap forward (nationwide), and as the name suggests, it is widely known. In addition, on August 1, 2006, it was merged with Ashigawa Village and became the current city of Fuefuki. The city’s soil is fertile and well-drained, with long daylight hours and a large temperature difference between day and night, making it an excellent location for fruit tree cultivation. According to the fruit tree production and shipment statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, it is confirmed that the cultivated area, yield and shipment amount of peaches and grapes are all the highest among the municipalities in Japan. In praise of the achievements of the ancestors who have led the cultivation of historic Japanese fruit trees, we pledged to protect and further develop the wonderful fruit villages that we can be proud of throughout the country. On April 10, 2014, he declared “Japan’s No. 1 Taoyuan Township”. In addition, the city has many diverse and valuable historical and cultural resources. The artifacts excavated from the Shakado and Ichinosawa sites during the Jomon period have been designated as important cultural properties, and valuable remains such as the front and rear burial mounds and stone mounds of the Kofun period remain. In the subsequent eras, Teramoto Abandoned Temple, the oldest temple in Yamanashi Prefecture during the Hakuho period, Kai Kokubunji Temple and Nanji Temple during the Nara period, and Isawa no Mikuri, the only Mikuriya（Kitchen: Jinryō, a manor of an ancient and medieval shrine）in Kai Province, were built. The city has been the center of Kai Province for about a thousand years from the establishment of ancient Kai to the relocation of Takeda’s building to Kofu in 1519, and it was truly the “City of Kai Province Millennium.” Isawa hot spring Village and Kasugai hot spring Village, which are one of the best hot spring villages in Japan, welcome many tourists throughout the four seasons as tourist accommodation bases in Yamanashi Prefecture, and the city’s public hot spring facilities and footbath facilities that utilize the blessed hot spring resources are It is crowded as a place of healing and charm for many people including citizens. It seems that we will continue to nurture “hospitality hot spring village” through the scenery and festivals that color the seasons. Located slightly east of the central part of the Kofu basin, this area collects water systems flowing from the mountainous hills in the northern, eastern, and southern parts of the basin, and the Fuefuki River flows southwest through the central part of the basin. Alluvial fans such as Hikawa, Kanagawa, Asakawa, and Sakaigawa and alluvial plains at the bottom of the basin spread, and agricultural land mainly composed of fruit trees is distributed from the foot of the mountain to the flat land. Behind it is the Misaka Mountains, and there are villages scattered along the Ashi River that flows from east to west in the mountains. In this way, this area is famous as an area with a relatively cohesive terrain sandwiched between north-south hills and mountainous areas, centered on the flat land that extends along the Fuefuki River. The area is 201.92 square kilometers. It is the “Japan’s number one peach producing area” where 23,000 tons of peaches are harvested annually, and many peach trees are planted in the city, and they bloom all at once in the spring.

Yamanashi Prefecture is one of the top producers of peach, which is the season word for autumn in Haiku poetry. In particular, the peaches from Kasugai Unification Kyosenjo, which is famous for its high quality, are exceptional. We are committed to uncompromising peach production in all production areas, and as a result, we have become a top brand in Japan that is recognized by both ourselves and others. Kasugai’s peaches are evolving every year in order to meet the expectations of peach lovers, who are particular about quality and size. Okute peaches and Sachiakane have a different taste than Wase peaches (such as Hakuho Peach). Freshly harvested peaches have a firm flesh, so you can enjoy a deep apple-like texture. In addition, if you store it in a cool and dark place for several days, the flesh will soften a little and you will be able to enjoy the chewy flesh.

A long time ago, the former Kasugai Village was also known for its thriving sericulture industry. The area of Kasugai area is small, and the farmland is smaller than other areas. Through trial and error, he thought about fruit tree cultivation, which would be more profitable than sericulture, and arrived at peach cultivation after considering the soil and climate. It dates back to the Taisho period. Before World War II, peach cultivation flourished, but during the war, peach trees were felled due to planting control orders, and they disappeared once. It gradually revived around 1950, and in 1961, it gained the trust of the market with the introduction of hand-packed box sorting, which can be called craftsmanship. It sounds like you had a lot of trouble when you started. In an era when there were few cars without refrigeration technology, the current Kasugai Town Station on the Chuo Line was built as a freight train station in order to quickly transport peaches to Tokyo Tsukiji-Toyosu Market Station. Confidence seems to have improved.
