April 14th is Orange Day. Along with this, it seems that a "mandarin orange train" with pictures of oranges of children entrusting the future is in operation. Orange Day is a memorial day that JA Zen-Noh Ehime registered with the Japan Anniversary Association as "a day to give oranges to foster love and deepen ties." For this anniversary and the promotion of citrus fruits, JA Zen-Noh Ehime will work with Iyo Railway Co., Ltd. (a major subsidiary of the Iyotetsu Group Co., Ltd.) from November to April, when Orange Day is held, from the 8th of each month. It seems that they are running a "mandarin orange train" decorated with pictures of oranges for one week only on the 14th. From February, the prize-winning works of the painting contest with the theme of mandarin oranges will be displayed on a monthly basis, and will run from April 8th to 14th. It is this Iyo Railway Company that Nobuchika has put the most effort into promoting the business. It seems that the society at that time had very little awareness of railway companies. At that time, the Kainan Shimbun said about the railway company plan, this plan is like fireworks, and although it should be truly pleased if you drive the railway, there is no expectation that it will continue for a long time as you see the fireworks, and the future of the company is jeopardized. It seems that it was a fireworks display. When it was difficult to raise funds for the establishment of the company and it seemed that the establishment of the company was up to this point, he succeeded in gaining the praise of Shiro FUJIMURA, who had been appointed as the governor of Ehime prefecture. It seems that Fujimura himself became a shareholder of 50 shares and showed a positive desire to establish a business. At that time, Denzaburo FUJITA, the president of Fujita group, who was a political entrepreneur, and the manager of the Besshi mine (closed in 1973), Hirose, who was in charge of mine management in Niihama, took over part of the stock. It seems that Denzaburo FUJITA was a person who attracted a lot of public attention. He was in the Fujita counterfeit bill case from 1878 to 1879, and he had been interrogated by the authorities as a suspect. The result was suspicious in this case, but on the other hand, the relationship with the officials became a problem, and it seems that he was a rumored person anyway.

Business start between Matsuyama and Mitsu on October 28, 1888. Met. After that, the route will be expanded. Nobuchika is the introducer of modern transportation in the local community, and at the same time, he is also the creator of light railways in the history of japanese railways.

It's a civil servant. In the event of an emergency such as an emergency, great defense is required. However, it seems that it is not efficient to maintain that defense power on a regular basis.
