Tokushima Hyozaemon Toshimasa (year of birth unknown) was a merchant living in Fukagawa, Edo (present-day Koto Ward, Tokyo), and was apparently an avid follower of the Nichiren sect with a wealth of business talent. In the first year of Kanbun (1661), when Hyozaemon visited Mt. Minobu, he learned that Nishigoori, Koma County had a large area of land that had been left untouched due to lack of water. As a result of a field survey later, he dug a weir from Kamitsuburai to Kajikazawa to allow water from the Kamanashi River to pass through, and collected water charges (water usage fees) from the newly developed rice fields and fields converted into rice fields. I made a plan to manage with a rebate of the annual tribute. The feudal lord of the Kofu domain (1600) After the Battle of Sekigahara, Senchiyo Tokugawa, the adopted son of Chikayoshi Hiraiwa, the governor of Kofu, entered the domain, but died young in the same year. Yoshinao Tokugawa (the 9th son of Ieyasu) entered the domain with 250,000 koku of rice, but in 1607, Yoshinao Tokugawa was transferred to the Owari Kiyosu domain for additional fiefs. In 1632, Tadanaga Tokugawa was dismissed for his bad behavior, and Kai Province came under the direct control of the shogunate. In 1651, the 3rd shogun. Tsunashige Tokugawa, the third son of Iemitsu Tokugawa, received Kai Province and established the Kofu domain. Since Tsunashige Tokugawa settled in Edo, the territory was ruled by the Kofu castle keeper. The Kofu castle keeper was Watanabe Buzen no kami, Toda Suo no kami, Watanabe Nagato no kami, Toda Awa no kami, and Okano Izu no kami work. In the spring of the 7th year of Kanbun, the water was successfully channeled for about 17 km to Kuruwada Shinden. However, when the construction was about to be completed, the contract was canceled by the Kofu domain and he was ordered to leave Koshu. His fate after that is unknown, but he remained deeply interested in the fate of the weir he had cut, and died in 1684. It was Mataemon Yazaki of Arino Village who took over Hyozaemon's work and completed the construction in 1911 at the command of the Kofu clan. The Kofu domain started construction of this weir. It was named Tokushima Weir after the person who built it. The Tokushima weir regenerated not only the villages that directly used the water, but also the land of the alluvial fan that spreads over the entire city of the Southern Alps, which was said to "burn even on a moonlit night." Hyōzaemon had the title Hidenori and his wife Myojo, and in 1658, they donated a statue of Shichimen deity with extraordinary spiritual powers, the guardian deity of the Nichiren sect, to Hoenzan Joshinji Temple in Fukagawa.

Basic Concept for Promoting Strengthening of Farm Management Base in Minami-Alps City: Purpose of Basic Concept Formulation and Review Management bodies are to take comprehensive measures to establish an agricultural structure that is responsible for a considerable portion of agricultural production in the region and to promote the strengthening of the foundation of agricultural management. For this reason, the six former towns and villages before the merger formulated a basic plan by 2000. Furthermore, after the merger, we reviewed in 2005, 2010 and 2014 and worked on various measures to strengthen the foundation of farm management. The plan reflects the review of management indicators accompanying the formulation of the Yamanashi Prefecture Agriculture Basic Plan, and the integration of the farmland utilization and accumulation facilitation business into the farmland intermediate management business accompanying the revision of the Agricultural Management Base Strengthening Promotion Act, which came into effect in April 2020. Based on changes in the situation, we will partially review the concept of Minami Alps City and update measures for the sound development of agriculture and farming villages in the city. We will strive to further enhance our services. Character and role of the basic concept: The basic concept is a promotion index to secure and develop certified new farmers, new farmers, certified farmers, agricultural corporations, etc. In addition to clarifying the target agricultural management for each region, we will promote the use and accumulation of farmland for these management bodies by utilizing the farmland intermediate management business, etc., and promote the strengthening of the city's agricultural management base. The basic policy of Yamanashi Prefecture shall serve as a guideline for formulating the basic concept of the city, and the planning period will be 10 years from 2020. Geography: Minami Alps City is a city located in the western part of Yamanashi Prefecture. The eastern part of the city is flat, and the Midaigawa alluvial fan occupies most of it. Fruit trees are thriving in the alluvial fan, and farmers are concentrated in this area. In this area, the Tokushima Weir, the largest agricultural irrigation canal in the prefecture, reaching approximately 17 km (the right bank of the Kamanashi River) is located in the northwestern part of the Kofu Basin, at the foot of the Southern Alps. Straddling an alluvial fan, the northern part is a paddy field, and the southern part bears many fruit trees from spring to autumn. An indispensable part of this area is the prefecture's largest agricultural irrigation canal, which is about 17 km long. Tokushima, a person from Edo Fukagawa. Hyozaemon opened a waterway from Kami-tsuburai, Maruno Town (Nirasaki City) to Kajikasawa (Kajikasawa Town, Minamikoma County), the starting point of water transport on the Fuji River. , Shizuoka Prefecture) by boat, and construction began about 340 years ago, in February 1665, using Hyozaemon's own funds. In the waterway, a water intake was made with masonry, crossed several difficult places such as rivers, and two years later in the spring, water was allowed to flow to Iino Minami Bridge (former Shirane Town). Withdrawing his hand, the later construction was taken over by the Kofu castle owner, and construction was completed in 1670. His ship transportation concept was never realized, and it is unknown when he disappeared. With the completion of this construction, abundant water flowed, the development of rice paddies everywhere progressed, and the lives of local farmers achieved rapid development. Since it was named, it has undergone many restorations and major renovations in its history. In the Showa era, water supply and farmland irrigation facilities were improved, and the drought area, which was said to "burn even on a moonlit night," was changed. It has become possible to irrigate the water, and even today it supports agriculture and livelihoods in the area on the right bank of the Kamanashi River.) exists. Since then, several restoration and repair works have been carried out, and in the early Showa era, it became possible to irrigate the drought-prone area, which was said to be "burned even in the moonlit night," and it has become an important agricultural irrigation channel that supports today's fruit cultivation Note. The main crops in Minami-Alps City are fruit trees such as grapes, peaches, plums and cherries. Peach is the largest cultivated area in the city, followed by grapes and cherries. In addition, the number of management entities that cultivate peaches was the largest, followed by plums, grapes, and cherries. Furthermore, since the total number of crops in the city is smaller than the total number of management bodies of these four crops, one management body cultivates different crops in a complex manner. In Yamanashi Prefecture, in 2022, there were a series of mass thefts of fruits such as peaches and grapes, but in Minami Alps City in the prefecture, the installation of new sensors to prevent theft of fruits has begun ahead of the full-scale harvest season this year. On May 10, JA Minami-Alps City, which handles the introduction, released this new sensor to the media. In addition to adopting a system that combines a parent device and a child device, the new sensor is able to detect intruders in the entire fruit orchard by improving the performance of the sensor itself. In addition, conventional machines often mistakenly detect vehicles passing outside the orchard as intruders, but it seems that the detection range can be adjusted to prevent this. A new function has been added to notify relevant parties of the detection of an intrusion by e-mail, etc. JA Minami-Alps City has newly introduced 30 parent devices and 90 child devices for new sensors. According to the harvest season of cherries, peaches, grapes, etc., the orchards to be installed will be changed. Farmers are hoping that the new sensors will provide greater coverage and give them more peace of mind. The origin of "Japanese plum" is China. It has a long history, and it is believed that it was brought to Japan from China during the Yayoi period. At that time, it was for ornamental purposes, but in the Edo period, it became popular for eating, and after the Meiji period, orchard cultivation began, and it seems to have gained popularity. In the late 19th century, this excellent produce made its way to the United States and was crossed with American varieties. The current sumomo was re-imported and further improved. It seems that this is the reason why the name "plum" is generally established. "Taiyou plum'' is known as a late maturing variety, discovered about 53 years ago by Kazumasa Amemiya in former Enzan city, Yamanashi prefecture. I heard that it was named around 1969. The characteristic fruit weight is about 100 to 150 g, and the shape of the fruit is round, and when fully ripe, it turns purple. The flesh is milky white and dense. With a sugar content of 13-14%, it has a long shelf life and is of excellent quality. "Hollywood Plum" seems to be a good pollinator. It has a high sugar content and a lot of fruit juice, and is characterized by a deep crimson peel. Yamanashi Prefecture has a long history of cultivating plums, dating back to the Edo period. There are records of cultivation in At the time, it was called "koshu daihatankyo,'' and in 1870 this plum came to the United States (Charter city: Alameda County, California, USA) in "Anglo-Saxon civilization: Westward the course of the Empire takes its way: George Berkeley", Kelsey Farm (Berkeley, Alameda County, California) repeatedly improved the variety and returned to Japan at the end of the Taisho period as "Kelsey Plum", where it continues to this day. I heard that "plums'', which were originally grown in the Japanese archipelago, migrated to the United States in the Meiji period and returned as "plums'' after selective breeding. Yamanashi Prefecture's high-quality agricultural products seem to have a certification system called the Yamanashi brand, 'Fuji no Kuni Yamanashi Special Agricultural Products'. Yamanashi Prefecture is proud of Minami Alps City, located in the western part of Yamanashi Prefecture. Due to its inland climate, the temperature difference is large, making it a suitable climate for fruit production. It seems that the soil is very well drained because it is located on the alluvial fan of the Midaigawa River, which will appear later. I hear that these soil and climatic conditions make it one of the most suitable production areas for fruit production in Yamanashi Prefecture. The Minami-Alps City is the largest producer of plums in Japan and has a long history. This great district is famous for producing plums called Yamanashi No. 1. The vast field of more than 100 hectares seems to be filled with plum blossoms during the flowering season, creating a dream-like scene. The Ochiai area, where the JA Minami-Alps City Common Election Center is located, is one of the leading plum production areas in the same JA. It is a large ball Okute variety, which is said to be a mutant strain that was discovered in "Kiyo Plum" in its own garden seems to be the most in the same JA. In a typical year, Wase Oishi plums, Soldam plums, Summer Angel plums, Kiyo plums, Taiyo plums, etc. will continue to be sold until the end of August. From the latter half of February 2022, the low-alcohol wine Picket (in English, workers in dispute, etc., in English, prevent strike breaking) using the squeezed grapes from wine making and the hot spring water of Isawa Hot spring in Yamanashi Prefecture. Refers to watching, to watch. Derived from the French word “stab” for a slight fizz of the drink, it seems to date back to ancient Greek and Roman times. Considered a poor and cheap drink made from winemaking scraps, It seems to have been given to slaves and field workers. In France, it was a favorite drink for vineyard workers at lunch because low alcohol promoted post-lunch productivity, rather than alcohol-fueled turmoil. It is said that it was there.) The production has begun in the city of the Southern Alps. Picket is a drink made by adding water and yeast to the grape squeezed from the process of making wine and fermenting it. It has an alcohol content of about 5% and is characterized by a refreshing taste of fruits and carbonic acid. On February 24, bottling work was carried out at a winery in Minami Alps City, Yamanashi Prefecture, and it seems that the owner of a liquor store in the Isawa Onsen district joined in and plugged the bottle with a crown. Of these, 350 bottles are warmed in the hot spring water of Isawa Hot Spring in March to promote fermentation, and it seems that they will be ready to drink in early April. Manufacturing is almost unheard of in Japan, and wineries and other products seem to be looking forward to the future as new local specialties and special products. The city of Minami-Alps is located at the foot of the Southern Alps on the west side of Yamanashi Prefecture. The city is an area surrounded by beautiful nature. The total area is 264.14 km2, which seems to occupy about 5.9% of the area of Yamanashi prefecture. It has an elongated shape from east to west with Mt. Kitadake, the main peak of the Southern Alps, as the apex, and has an inland climate peculiar to the basin, with severe cold in winter and high temperature in summer. By the time the boat was transported on the Fuji River, it seemed to have prospered as a transportation hub to Shinshu. Fruit trees are actively cultivated in the alluvial fan of the Midai River and the lowlands that follow it, and the orchards that produce a lot of fruits from spring to autumn are said to be representative of this area. People’s footprints can be seen in the city dating back to the Old Stone Age 20,000 years ago. During the Jomon period, many clusters were created around the Ichinose plateau, and the pottery and earthen figures found at the Imojiya archaeological site in Shimoichinose now seem to be important cultural properties of the country. In the Yayoi period, it seems that villages began to run along the spring line at the end of the Midai River alluvial fan in the southern part of the city, which is suitable for paddy cultivation. During the Kofun period, many tumuli, including the Monomizuka tumulus, which is a cultural property designated by the prefecture, were built in the city area. In the Heian period, even in the fan center area of the Midai River alluvial fan, where people could hardly see the footprints until then, development progressed, such as the establishment of a large-scale cow and horse breeding facility called “Hatta Mimaki”. That’s it. In addition, further development of agricultural infrastructure has progressed in the paddy fields at the end of the alluvial fan. In the Kamakura period, Tomitsu Kagami, the fourth son of Minamoto no Kiyomitsu, the grandson of Minamoto no Yoshimitsu, who is said to be the ancestor of Kai Genji, set up a base in the city and his child, Mitsutomo Akiyama, against the background of such an economic foundation. It is said that Nagakiyo Ogasawara and others were placed in the surrounding area to solidify their power. Of these, Mr. Ogasawara is symbolized by “Religion: The word Ogasawara style religion was registered as a trademark by the NPO Ogasawara style / Ogasawara classroom (Japanese horse-back archery technique Ogasawara style) in 1992.” Later, it made a leap all over the country. During the Warring States period, it has been confirmed that the history of “Tokaichi”, which is famous as a festival that nurtures Mrs. Ooi, the mother of Shingen Takeda, and announces spring to the Kofu basin, dates back to at least this period. In addition, “Japanese chess head” and “Stone walling”, which are now designated historical sites of the country, were built on the Midai River, where the legend of hydraulic control of Shingen remains, and the Japanese chess head flooded the Mujina district and downstream villages. In addition to protecting it, Stone walling seems to have functioned not only as the village where Arino was built, but also as the cornerstone of hydraulic control that protects almost the entire area of the Midai River alluvial fan, including the village. In the Edo period, the Midai River alluvial fan had Tokushima dam (the right bank of the Kamanashi River is located at the foot of the Southern Alps mountain range in the northwestern part of the Kofu Basin, straddling the stepped hill alluvial fan of the Kamanashi River and the Midai River alluvial fan. The northern part is a paddy field, and the southern part bears a lot of fruit trees from spring to autumn. The largest agricultural waterway in the prefecture with a length of about 17 km is indispensable in this area. The waterway from Kamitsuburai (Nirasaki City) to the starting point of the Fuji River boat transport, Kajikazawa (Kajikazawa Town, Minamikoma District) was excavated, and the newly reclaimed rice field was developed in the wasteland and Koshin Suruga Mikuni (currently Yamanashi and Nagano prefectures). It was planned from a far-reaching concept of connecting Shizuoka Prefecture) by boat, and it seems that construction was started by Hyozaemon’s private property in February 1665, about 356 years ago. Most of the waterways are earthen waterways and masonry. In the spring of two years later, the water was passed to Iino Minamibashi (former Shirane Town), but in the spring, Hyozaemon suddenly withdrew from the construction and suddenly withdrew from the construction. Later construction was taken over by Kofu chamberlain, and it is reported that the construction was completed in 1670. The ship transportation concept of Hyozaemon was never realized, and it is unknown where it disappeared, but this construction With the completion, abundant water flowed, the development of productive fields progressed everywhere, and the lives of local farmers achieved dramatic development. It seems that many restorations and major renovations have been carried out in the history of the river. , It seems that it still supports agriculture and livelihoods in the area on the right bank of the Kamanashi River.) It seems that you can see the traces of the efforts of people who have been suffering but have improved their lives. Even in the modern era, the fight against water continued, and in the Meiji era, the first prefectural sabo work in Yamanashi Prefecture, “stone levee of Ichinosegawa,” and in the Taisho era, Japan’s first full-scale concrete under the direct control of the country. It seems that the “Ashiyasu dam”, which is a dam, was built. On the other hand, in the drought area, which was said to be “burnable even in the moonlit night,” the Noro River water supply was opened and the land improvement enterprise on the right bank of the Kamanashi River was finally established after the war, and it seems that it was released from the chronic water shortage. In addition, even in the southern part of the city, where there was so much flooding that it was said to be “cloudy and three-dimensional” (even if it was cloudy, the water overflowed), flood control measures were taken by improving the gutter gate and drainage pump station. In the Midai River fan-shaped area, which was not suitable for rice cultivation, as you can see from the fact that a tobacco sales office was set up in the Meiji era, upland crops have been actively cultivated, and a culture of commerce has been created. It is said that it became the soil for producing Ippei Wakao（This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Ippei Wakao (born January 9, 1821), a representative of the Koshu conglomerate. Wakao started out as a merchant with a single balance pole, and in the Meiji era, he was the first mayor of Kofu and a member of the House of Peers, a large taxpayer. As a businessman, he gained the management rights of companies that carry important infrastructure in the imperial capital of Tokyo, such as Tokyo Electric Light and Tokyo Stagecoach Railway, and made the name “Koshu Conglomerate” roar throughout Japan.）, a former Koshu merchant. Also, in 1839, the Nishino Shoseido (penmanship place) was opened by the villagers ahead of other areas, and it seems that it was an area that realized the importance of “human resource development” from early on. This area, which was divided into 62 villages in the first year of the Meiji era, became 6 towns and villages of Hatta village, Shirane town, Ashiyasu village, Wakakusa town, Kushigata town, and Kosai town after the merger of Meiji and Showa, April 1, 2003. It is said that the city of the Southern Alps was born by the merger of these six towns and villages, and continues to this day. Yamanashi Prefecture has the highest peach yield in Japan. Production is flourishing in the city, and every spring, peach blossoms bloom like a pink carpet, attracting athletes and tourists from outside the city at the paradise on earth marathon, which is a major event in the city. Also, it is said that peaches were used not only for food but also for rituals. The oldest peach kernel in the prefecture has been excavated from the Daishi Higashitanbo site (Kosai district) in the middle of the Yayoi period (2000 years ago), and it seems that it is deeply related to the city from a historical point of view. The Iris sanguinea community on Mt. Kushigata is famous nationwide and is highly regarded academically. It seems that it was designated as a natural monument in Yamanashi Prefecture in 2002. In the city area, iris raising associations and citizen groups carry out planting activities mainly along the Takizawa River, and the iris fair is held every May, which is said to be familiar to the citizens. Lagopus muta seems to have inhabited widely in the cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere, but it is a creature left in the high mountains by moving south from the continent to the Japanese archipelago during the ice age. It was designated as a national special natural monument in 1955. Due to recent warming and the movement of animals that did not live in the alpine zone to aim for grouse, it seems that the number is decreasing year by year around Mt. Kitadake. It is said that it is also the logo mark of the Southern Alps UNESCO Eco Park. When selecting the symbols, in addition to trees, flowers, and birds, we asked for symbols that image the city of the Southern Alps, and “Mt. Kitadake” was selected. Mt. Kitadake is the second highest peak in Japan (elevation 3193 m) and is one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan and 100 famous mountains in Yamanashi. In 2014, the Southern Alps, including Mt. Kitadake, was registered in the UNESCO Eco Park, and the surrounding area is set as a core area to be strictly protected. The city seems to be working towards sustainable development by preserving the rich ecosystems and biodiversity of the region. It’s located in the western part of Yamanashi Prefecture, and has a long shape in the east and west located at the foot of the Southern Alps. 日本第2位の高峰北岳（白峰三山: 鳳凰山, 夜叉神峠, 奈良田, 仙丈ヶ岳, 間ノ岳;「白峰, 此山本州第一ノ高山ニシテ西方ノ鎮タリ. 国風ニ詠スル所ノ, 甲斐ヶ根コレニシテ, 南北ニ連ナリテ三峰アリ. 其北方最モ高キモノヲ指シテ, 今専ラ白峰ト稱ス: 甲斐國志（1814年）小笠原長恒の次男, 松平貞次郎定能: 官位: 従五位下伊予守,（養父, 松平定則）編纂, 家系, 久松松平家氏: 知多半島阿古屋（半田市付近, アコヤ貝で著名）発祥）がある. 南には, 日本の堂々, 第1位の富士山, 北には八ヶ岳（南: 編笠山 (2,524 m), 西岳 (2,398 m), 三ッ頭 (2,580 m), 権現岳 (2,715 m), 赤岳 (2,899 m), 中岳 (2,700 m), 阿弥陀岳 (2,805 m), 横岳 (2,829 m), 硫黄岳 (2,760 m), 赤岩の頭 (2,656 m), 峰の松目 (2,567 m), 夏沢峠, 北, 箕冠山 (2,590 m), 根石岳 (2,603 m), 天狗岳 (2,646 m), 中山 (2,496 m), 丸山 (2,330 m), 麦草峠, 茶臼山; 長篠合戦, 織田信長, 徳川家康の連合軍（陣が前）対 武田勝頼 (2,384 m), 縞枯山 (2,403 m), 北横岳 (2,480 m), 大岳 (2,381 m), 双子山 (2,224 m), 大河原峠, 蓼科山; 諏訪富士: 諏訪御料人（勝頼の母）父, 諏訪頼重 (2,530 m), 八子ヶ峰 (1,833 m)）が望め, 美しい自然に囲まれた地域である. Located in the west of the Kofu basin, it has an inland climate peculiar to the basin, with severe winters and cold summers. The name of the city of the Southern Alps was selected in September 2002 after a public offering. There are several main reasons why this city name was chosen. In addition, it is the second city to use katakana in the city name after the former name of Koza city in Okinawa city, and it seems that the city name using foreign words is the first in Japan. This area, located at the foot of the Southern Alps, can be imagined geographically. It is consistent with the characteristics of the natural environment, such as the rich nature and clear air of the Southern Alps shared by the six towns and villages (Ashiyasu Village, Kushigata Town, Kosai Town, Shirane Town, Hatta Village, Wakakusa Town). It is a name that has a bright and fresh image as a tourist city. Kiwifruit is a fruit that originated in China and was improved and made famous in New Zealand. There is also another name, Actinidia chinensis. In Japan, it is often called kiwi for short, and in English-speaking countries, it is also called chinase goose berry. It is said that the name comes from the fact that the shape of the fruit is similar to Kiwibird, the national bird of New Zealand. It seems that there are many varieties, but it seems that the varieties with green flesh called Hayward introduced this time are the most popular. In recent years, from around 2000, yellow kiwis with yellow flesh from New Zealand called gold kiwis and golden kiwis have begun to be distributed. Regarding cultivation, I heard that it is an attractive fruit tree because it grows vigorously, there are almost no pests, and it can be cultivated completely without pesticides. It seems that it can be cultivated outdoors all year round in the west of the Kanto region. It is said that the number of years of fruiting is 1 to 2 years for seedlings and 3 to 8 years for seedlings. As I forgot to say, male and female catabolic strains are different from male and female, so it seems that two trees, a female variety and a male variety, are needed. I’ve heard that you can’t get fruit with just one. Again, Hayward is the most popular variety in the world. It is large and has excellent storability. After harvesting, it seems that it can be stored in the refrigerator for 6 months. Although it has a relatively short history, it seems to be produced in various parts of the jurisdiction. Kiwifruit requires ripening after harvesting. At first, it is hard even when pressed and has a strong acidity, but when it is ripened, it tends to become elastic and weaken. Although it is considered to be a climberic fruit, few individuals naturally increase ethylene production after harvesting, except for disease-damaged fruits, and many seem to wither without ripening. By elucidating the ripening mechanism of kiwifruit, and by comparing various kiwifruit varieties introduced from China in recent years with Hayward from the viewpoint of inducing an ethylene production system by ethylene, Hayward In recent years, NARO seems to have clarified the reason why it is difficult to ripen. Around 1990 to 1994: During ripening, physiological changes such as induction of ethylene production system involved in ripening, softening of pulp, saccharification of starch, increase in respiration, decrease in acid, and production of aroma are likely to occur. All of these have in common that they are promoted by ethylene, but there seems to be a difference in their reactivity with them. It seems that sufficient contact with ethylene is necessary for the induction of the ethylene production system and the generation of aroma. On the other hand, it was found that other physiological changes can occur even with inadequate contact. However, it seems that the fruit will not be fully ripe unless the ethylene production system involved in ripening is induced. From these facts, I heard that it became clear that ethylene production needs to be induced for kiwifruit to ripen. Comparing the difficulty of inducing the ethylene-forming system involved in ripening in Hayward with the varieties introduced from China in recent years, there is a considerable difference in the difficulty of inducing the ethylene-forming system. It seems that it was recognized. I have heard that it has become clear that Hayward is significantly less likely to be induced, whereas it is easily induced in some Chinese varieties. From this result, it seems that it was clarified that the difficulty of inducing the ethylene generating system involved in ripening makes the ripening of Hayward difficult. By searching for varieties that are highly sensitive to ethylene, it is thought that varieties that do not require ripening can be found. It was said that ethylene treatment was indispensable to obtain a delicious ripe Hayward. Measures against successive fruit thefts in Yamanashi Prefecture with the latest technology. JA Minami Alps City has introduced high-performance security equipment that can grasp the situation of the field even from a distance. 500 security cameras are on the rise. Crime is never allowed. According to the Japan Security Equipment Association, located in Hamamatsucho, Minato Ward, Tokyo, security equipment is used to protect people and things from crime in target buildings, shops, and streets. In particular, security cameras, digital recorders (for crime prevention), and LED security lights are used to "deter crime," "increase a sense of security," "quickly resolve incidents and accidents," and "prepare to prevent crimes from reoccurring." It's like a security device used to achieve a purpose. For example, RBSS (Excellent Crime Prevention Equipment Certification System) certified equipment is equipment that has passed the examination based on the association's certification standards that meet the purpose. RBSS seems to have certified many security devices since 2008. It seems that the certification standards dictate the contents of the instruction manual so that the user can use the product for security purposes, and that the measurement method is restricted so that the performance is not exaggerated. There seems to be an increasing number of customers who use criteria such as "being RBSS" or being compliant with RBSS.
A hybrid of Japanese plum and Japanese plum. The peel is green and the flesh is red. One of the main plum varieties in Japan. Soldam is the main variety of plums from Yamanashi Prefecture. It looks green, but the flesh is red, and it is famous as a delicious variety with a unique combination of sourness and sweetness. The harvest period is long, but the best time to eat them is from mid to late July.
The origin of "Japanese plum" is said to be China. It has a long history and is believed to have been brought to Japan from China during the Yayoi period. At that time, it was for ornamental purposes, but in the Edo period, it became popular for eating, and it seems that orchard cultivation began after the Meiji period. In the latter half of the 19th century, this "Japanese plum" was brought to the United States and crossed with American varieties. The current sumomo was re-imported and further improved. The bright red flesh of the beautiful Soldam leaves a strong impression with its rich sourness and sweetness.
On June 12, 2023, at the JA Minami Alps City Ochiai Common Selection Office, which is the largest plum production area in Japan. Three days earlier than last year, the co-selection of the extremely early-maturing Japanese plum "Wase Oishi'' has begun. On June 14, when the shipment volume increased, plums with colored plums were brought to the common election office one after another, and about 5.7 tons were shipped to markets nationwide. Agricultural instructor Tezuka of the joint selection office inspected the collected plums for their coloration, size, and whether they were damaged by rubbing leaves. The Ochiai area is one of the prefecture's leading plum production areas, producing many varieties such as 'Soldum' and 'Summer Angel'. In addition, high-class large ball varieties "Kiyo" and "Koju" (similarly large ball plum "Kiyo" branch varieties. The breed was registered in 2012 and is growing in the same JA jurisdiction. Compared to "Kiyo", the harvest period is It is characterized by a delay of about a month, and has almost the same characteristics as Kiyo, such as a sugar content of 15 to 18 degrees and a large one exceeding 300 g.）The JA is planning to sell 1,400 tons of plums this year.
