【Major features】

The hero “Z-END (at the end of the 20th century, the ability to shake the world)” that appears in the work of Mr. Kenichi MURAEDA, a cartoonist who lives in Ashikita Town, Kumamoto Prefecture (representative works include Our Field, RED, Kamen Rider SPIRITS, etc.) Occurrence phenomenon “Alteration Burst”.

February 2022 with LINE Digital Frontier Co., Ltd. Due to the capital alliance, the listing of shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was abolished.) Part 1 was serialized as a web comic in the collaborative web comic magazine “Hero Crossline” advocating “creation of a new generation hero”. HXL AFTER MISSION : Announcement period October 31, 2007-March 11, 2009 on February 15, 2022, it seems that the Ashikita station accompanied a group of first-year students on the school road of the local Sashiki Elementary School. It seems to be part of the planned crime prevention awareness campaign. In line with the “Crime Prevention Day” on the 15th of every month set by the prefectural police in 2022, the station patrols at three elementary schools in the town and raises awareness to prevent “money” fraud by telephone. It seems that they are carrying out activities. About 20 people including officers and crime prevention association staff participated in the patrol on this day, and it seems that they watched the children’s return trips at school roads and intersections. At Sashiki Elementary School, Z-END is at the top. In addition, it seems that 25 first graders left the school together from the school to the nearby prefectural road. The children were excited by the bright red appearance and waved their hands at the time of parting. Amanatsu is a special product that has begun to be cultivated in the Ashikita region of Kumamoto prefecture, and boasts the highest production in Japan. Every year around December, the mountains turn bright yellow, and when the New Year is over, it seems that the harvest will start all at once in the cold. The former Sashiki Tunnel, which connects Tanoura Town and Ashikita Town with a tunnel located in the center of Yatsushiro City and Minamata City, started construction in 1901 and was completed in 1903. With a total length of about 433.5, a width of about 5.5 m, and a central height of about 4.4 m, it was the sixth longest in Japan at that time and the second longest in Kyushu, and it seems that it was an important road tunnel from a historical point of view. Stone pilasters, band stones, and brick portals were constructed on the left and right sides of the wellhead. The bricks are stacked in France, the arch inside the tunnel is the longitudinal stack of bricks, and the side walls are the British stack. The tunnel is about 15 minutes from the Ashikita interchange on the Kyushu Expressway. It is a brick tunnel and was designated as a registered tangible cultural property on August 21, 2002. It is designated as a registered tangible cultural property. During the construction of this tunnel, it seems that a cave-in accident occurred in the past and several people were killed. After that, the old Sashiki tunnel was opened safely. However, it becomes a psychic spot where ghost sightings and mysterious accidents occur frequently. The main reason for this is that it may be due to a psychic disorder that has been transmitted to me. It seems that a mysterious phenomenon is occurring in this tunnel with a high probability. Now that the new Sashiki tunnel has been built, it seems that few people use the old tunnel, but many people still visit for the purpose of trying their luck. Moreover, it seems that you have to be careful when driving because the road is narrow. In addition, it seems that there was a tendency to make the old Sashiki tunnel the final destination of life in search of a place to hang himself and die, including self-immolation in the heart of parents and children. If the specter and the spirit of a dead person walk, they must have been worshiped in the sense of a traveler’s guardian deity (traveller) long before we were born. とろりと白く膏を流した葦北の海の向ふには, 今沈む夕日を銜んで紫は濃く碧は薄く幾重にも重なり, 並ぶ凸凹の形面白い天草の島山. 登場の地の標柱, 1913. 9/30- 午後 徳冨蘆花 【死の陰に: In the shadow of death】Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy(露)の What to do? は, 半分讀みかけて抛り出してあつた. 決して閑却する譯でも, 蔑視する譯でもない. 否彼翁と自分の間はあまりに肖て居る. 讀む要はないまでに肖て居る. 讀まなくてもよいが, 顏は見たい.【小説 冨士: Mt.

Trademark registration means registering the naming and logo attached to products and services with the Japan Patent Office, which is an external agency of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan. It seems that not only the product naming and logo but also the company name may be registered as a trademark. When you apply for trademark registration with the Japan Patent Office, an examination will be conducted as to whether or not the trademark registration can be approved. If, as a result of the examination, it is determined that the trademark registration may be permitted, the trademark will be registered by paying the registration fee to the Japan Patent Office. If it deserves approval, the trademark right will be granted to the applicant who applied for trademark registration. The applicant is a trademark owner in the sense that he / she has the trademark right. In addition, the trademark right is the right to use the registered trademark exclusively for the goods and services specified in advance. A third party who is not the trademark owner may not use a trademark that is the same as or similar to the registered trademark for the designated goods / designated services that are the same as or similar to the designated goods / designated services. If a third party who does not have any rights uses a trademark that is the same as or similar to the registered trademark for the designated goods / designated services that are the same as or similar to the designated goods / designated services, the trademark rights will be infringed. In addition, if a third party infringes the trademark right, the trademark owner may file a claim for damages or an injunction against the third party in court. For example, for trademark infringement acts, as relief by civil proceedings in court, seeking injunction of infringement acts, claiming damages, claiming return of unjust enrichment, for credit recovery It is possible to request measures, etc. Apart from this, if it is a criminal case, criminal penalties may be applied as a result of the trial. The injunction request has the following injunctions against trademark infringement (Article 36 of the Trademark Law). Requests for infringement to stop the act, requests for prevention of infringement for those who may infringe, disposal of the infringing material, removal of equipment used for infringing, and other infringement Request for measures necessary for prevention. Of these, 3 can only be billed with 1 or 2. Also, when requesting an injunction, it is not a requirement that the infringer have intentional or negligent infringement. Regarding 3, if the infringer uses a registered trademark or a trademark similar to it only for the product tag, the question is whether it is possible to request the disposal of the removed product, but the product and the tag are Regardless of the circumstances that make it inseparable and inseparable, if the product itself does not have a trademark at all and can be easily separated, even the product with the tag removed is requested to be discarded. It’s difficult. If trademark infringement has already become a reality and there is an urgent need to do so, such as when there is a possibility of significant damage if left unchecked, a provisional disposition will be given to the court to suspend the infringement. It is possible to file a petition. A claim for damages can be made against a person who manufactures, sells, or imports a counterfeit product that infringes a trademark right. In order to claim damages, it is necessary to prove many facts, but it is often difficult to prove the facts, so the law provides a calculation rule for the amount of damages (Article 38 of the Trademark Law). In addition, regarding the intentional or negligence of the infringer, which is necessary as a precondition for claiming damages, it is presumed that there was negligence in the act of infringement (Trademark Law, Article 39, Patent Law, Article 103). It facilitates claims for damages against infringers. Provisions for calculating the amount of damages Part 1 (Relief pursuant to Article 38, Paragraph 1 of the Trademark Law): Article 38, Paragraph 1 of the Trademark Law stipulates the method for calculating the amount of damages based on the recognition of lost profits. In cases where counterfeit products are sold, trademark owners, etc. are within the range of their own ability to use, etc. (1) Lost profits due to a decrease in sales volume, and in the part beyond the range of ability to use, etc. (2) Lost profits due to loss of licensing opportunities are recognized. Based on this idea, this provision refers to the amount of profit per unit quantity (generally, so-called marginal profit) of a product that the trademark owner, etc. could have sold without infringement. The amount obtained by multiplying. By the quantity of the counterfeit goods transferred by the infringer according to the ability of the trademark owner, etc. (referred to as the “use-appropriate quantity”) (loss margin of (1)) And, if a quantity of counterfeit products exceeding the quantity suitable for use is transferred, the license equivalent amount (lossy profit of (2)) for this quantity can be calculated and the total can be used as the damage amount. There is. However, if there are circumstances in which the trademark owner, etc. cannot sell all or part of the transferred quantity, the quantity corresponding to the circumstances (referred to as the “specified quantity”) is the calculation of lost profits in (1). It is deducted from the quantity that is the basis of (2) and is used as the basis for the calculation of lost profits. This “circumstances where it cannot be sold” is, for example, recognized that the infringer’s sales are mainly due to the infringer’s own sales efforts, and that all demand for counterfeit products goes to genuine products due to differences in quality and price. It cannot be done, the original trademark is used in addition to the trademark similar to the counterfeit product, and the consumer purchased it because it is an infringer’s product, the existence of competing products and their influence, and the trademark is a counterfeit product. It is planned that the infringer will claim and prove it because it contributes only to a part of the total added value of. In addition, if the trademark contributes only to a part of the total added value of the counterfeit product, or if it is not recognized that the trademark owner, etc. could grant the license to the infringer (No. 2 parentheses in the same paragraph). As a result, the amount of damage in item 2 may not be recognized. In certifying the amount equivalent to the license in Item 2, the amount that will be agreed between the parties on the premise of the fact of infringement can be taken into consideration (paragraph 4 of the same Article). “Damage amount” = (“Infringer’s transfer quantity within the limit of use-appropriate quantity”- “Specific quantity”) x “Profit per unit of right holder” + “Quantity exceeding use-appropriate quantity or specific quantity” License equivalent amount * If it is not recognized that the trademark owner has granted the license to the infringer, the damage amount will not be recognized. 2) Provisions for calculating the amount of compensation for damages Part 2 (Relief pursuant to Article 38, Paragraph 2 of the Trademark Law): Article 38, Paragraph 2 of the Trademark Law states that when an infringer is benefiting from an infringing act, the profit is It stipulates that the amount is estimated as the damage amount of the right holder as it is. In order to calculate the damage according to the same paragraph, it is necessary that there is a situation that profit would have been obtained if there had been no trademark infringement by the infringer. In addition, the profit gained “by the act of infringement” is limited to the portion (the portion that contributed) that the trademark contributed to the sales of the counterfeit product. Therefore, the ratio of the contributed portion (contribution rate) may be taken into consideration when calculating the amount of compensation for damages. “Damage amount” * = “Profit gained by infringer” * Contribution rate affects the calculation of damage compensation amount. Provisions for calculating damages No. 3 (Relief under Article 38, Paragraph 3 of the Trademark Law): Article 38, Paragraph 3 of the Trademark Law states that even if the infringer did not benefit from the infringing act, or something. It stipulates that even if the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of the same Article cannot be applied for some reason, the infringer can be claimed for damages equivalent to the license fee. Paragraph 3 of the same Article is considered to be a statutory provision for the minimum amount of damage. Therefore, it may be realistic to make a claim based on this section due to the difficulty of proof. In addition, when certifying the amount equivalent to the license, the amount that will be agreed between the parties on the premise of the fact of infringement can be taken into consideration (paragraph 4 of the same Article). However, if the infringer proves that the use of a mark similar to a registered trademark did not contribute to attracting customers at all, it may be considered that no damage has occurred. “Damage amount” = “License equivalent amount” Example: “Transfer quantity of infringer” × “License equivalent amount per unit of right holder” “Sales of infringer” × “License fee rate” there is a possibility. Provisions for calculating the amount of damages Part 4 (Relief pursuant to Article 38, Paragraph 5 of the Trademark Law): Under the “TPP Agreement”, the introduction of a statutory damages system for trademark rights or an additional damages system is required for unauthorized use of trademarks. There is. Along with this, Article 38, Paragraph 5 of the Trademark Law stipulates that the amount equivalent to the cost normally required for acquiring and maintaining a trademark right can be the amount of damage suffered by the trademark owner, etc. There is. The scope of unauthorized use of a trademark under the “TPP agreement” is to mutually change the display of the trademark, hiragana: japanese cursive characters, katakana, and romaji: latin alphabet characters consisting of the same characters with only the typeface changed, and the same names and ideas. This is the case when a trademark that causes the above, a trademark that consists of figures that are equated in appearance, or any other trademark that is recognized as the same as the registered trademark is used. Unjust enrichment claim: If a trademark right is infringed, it may be possible to exercise the unjust enrichment claim. Request for Credit Restoration Measures: For a person who has damaged the business credit of the trademark owner, the court may order the measures to restore the credit at the request of the trademark owner (Article 39 of the Trademark Law). , Article 106 of the Patent Law). Specifically, if it can be evaluated that the infringer’s inferior goods have damaged the business trust of the trademark owner, measures such as posting an apology advertisement can be requested. Pursuit of criminal liability: A person who infringes a trademark right is punished by imprisonment with work for not more than 10 years or a fine of not more than 10 million yen, so if the trademark right is infringed, the pursuit of criminal liability can be considered. (Article 78 of the Trademark Law). In addition, imprisonment and fines can be imposed (both are imposed). For corporations, there are so-called punishment provisions that, in addition to the punishment of the performer, a fine will be imposed on the corporation that is the business entity if the infringement is committed in relation to the business (trademark). Law Article 82). From the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan Patent Office website, as of April 2021. In other words, requesting other companies that have used their registered trademarks to compensate for damages caused by infringement of trademark rights, or to stop selling products or services that use the trademarks. Can be done. Conversely, if you infringe the trademark rights of another company, the trademark owner will request you to compensate for the damages or stop selling products or services that use the trademark. To put it simply, trademark registration means registering a name or logo attached to a product or service so that only the company can use the name or logo. Is there a lot of disadvantages such as pay attention to public opinion? It may take nearly a year from trademark registration application to acquisition of rights in recent years. However, if certain conditions are met, it seems that it can be shortened to about 3 months by requesting an accelerated examination. It costs money to acquire and renew the rights. Depending on the conditions at the time of filing, it often costs a little less than 100,000 yen to 100,000 yen from application to registration. There is also a cost to renew the rights period every 10 years. However, there are cases where various subsidies from local governments and ministries can be used. The cost required to acquire the right is not cheap, but considering the cost when the store name, product name, etc. cannot be used and the product has to be changed, I think that the cost is worth the 訴訟費用. Now, I would like to introduce the production area (wholesale area) and the neighboring local governments, though it is simple. “Ashikita Town, Ashikita District, Kumamoto Prefecture”, Located in the southern part of the prefecture.

Approximately 40 works by Chikuden TANOMURA and others who were active in the latter half of the Edo period were lined up, and it seems that the visitors were admiring the works. This is the 6th exhibition in 2022 entitled “Exhibition of Collection in Washima Area and Neighborhood”. Izumozaki Town, Santo District seems to be distributing the local manhole card of the town promoting the annual New Year event “Lion Dance” for free at the roadside station “Echigo Izumozaki Tenryo Hometown”. The card is issued by the “Sewerage Public Relations Platform” created by the national government and water companies in cooperation with local governments nationwide. On January 15, 2022, the design of manhole lids for 41 local governments including Izumozaki Town was newly added, and it seems that there are a total of 607 local governments and 837 species. The town is the first town or village in the prefecture to hand out cards to attract tourists and promote sewerage projects. It seems that the color manhole lid that was installed for the first time in the town was adopted for the design last September. The motif is a lion dance that parades along the coastal area of the town in January, and seems to depict the rough waves of the Sea of Japan and the lion dancing. The card shows a photo of the manhole lid and the location and origin of the design. Around 5:56 pm on October 23, 2004, an earthquake of magnitude 6.8 occurred at a depth of about 13 km in the Chuetsu region of Niigata prefecture (named “Niigata Chuetsu earthquake” the next day). The epicenter of the earthquake was Kawaguchi Town (formerly Kitauonuma District), and the maximum seismic intensity of 7 was observed for the first time since the observation by the seismic intensity meter started, and the seismic intensity of 6 lower was recorded in Nagaoka City. Furthermore, there was a magnitude 6.0 earthquake at around 6:11 pm and a magnitude 6.5 earthquake at around 6:34 pm, and the damage was even greater. In Nagaoka City, March 2015, four years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, in order to pass on the experiences and lessons learned from the reconstruction from the Great Chuetsu Earthquake in Niigata Prefecture to the next generation and to help the reconstruction of the disaster areas nationwide including the Great East Japan Earthquake. In addition, we have published the “Niigata Prefecture Chuetsu Great Earthquake Reconstruction 10-Year Record Collection” that summarizes the progress of reconstruction and the thoughts of the citizens. In addition, on March 11, 2017, six years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, a ceremony was held to pray for the earliest possible recovery of the disaster area at the Nagaoka City Natural Recreation Area “Shiki no Sato Koshi” to commemorate the victims. Was done. A silent prayer was held at the time of the earthquake, and “Tiger Dance” in Otsuchi Town (Kamihei District, Iwate Prefecture) was performed. In the city, the largest river in Japan, the Shinano River, flows slowly in the center of the city, and the city area extends from Mt. Sumondake to the Sea of Japan. In the past, despite many disasters, the people of Nagaoka and the town said, “The spirit of the Kome Hyappyo (It seems that the Kome Hyappyo was given to the Nagaoka Domain, which was defeated by the Boshin War and was in extreme distress.” Torasaburo Kobayashi, the second to a governor of the time, sold the rice with the belief that “education is because he cannot eat” and used it to fund the opening of the Kokuhan School. This story was published in 1943 by the writer. It became widely known by Yuzo Yamamoto’s drama “Kome Hyappyo”). And we are promoting the development of people and towns nationwide, such as City Hall Plaza “Aore Nagaoka” and “Child-rearing station”. The city, which is the second largest city in the prefecture, has a well-developed railway network and road network, and is truly a key point of the highway network. In the city, there are JR Joetsu Shinkansen Nagaoka Station, Kan-Etsu Expressway Nagaoka Interchange, Nagaoka Junction that branches off the Kan-Etsu Expressway and the Hokuriku Expressway, and the Hokuriku Expressway Nakanoshima / Mitsuke Interchange, which can be accessed in a short period of time with major cities throughout Japan. In addition, Niigata Airport has regular air routes to major cities and neighboring countries nationwide, making it much easier to access the trunk Sea of Japan countries, which are attracting national attention, compared to other cities. In addition, it is blessed with nature such as the Sea of Japan and the Shinano River, which is the best in Japan, and has a rich sports and recreation environment that suits each season, such as swimming in the summer and skiing in the winter. In addition, sake and rice cracker manufacturing companies unique to Japan’s No. 1 rice “Koshihikari” production area are concentrated to form an attractive and comfortable space. With the merger of cities, towns and villages in April 2005 and January 2006, the city has begun to move forward as a new city of Nagaoka with a population of 283,000. The town development slogan of the new city is “People are fortune, lively city, new Nagaoka”. In addition, in the new city construction plan formulated at the time of the merger, “a city where original companies are born and raised” is set as one of the future images, and further industrial promotion measures are being developed for the creation of new industries and the sophistication of technology. Manufacturing companies that play an important role in the world’s manufacturing industry are concentrated. Companies that produce things that are said to be difficult in machining, sheet metal, can making, casting, forging, heat treatment, and surface treatment, and companies that consistently perform development, design, and assembly. A company that is active in the world as a manufacturer of technology and equipment. Nagaoka is famous as a city where manufacturing industry is concentrated, which is unprecedented in other regions, due to companies gathering from all over the country in addition to manufacturing companies originating locally. It seems that the city is working together with citizens and industry to take measures against global warming and realize a low-carbon society. It forms an environmentally symbiotic manufacturing base in the eastern part of the western hills. It seems that the use and development of clean energy such as natural gas and solar cells, and the industrialization of “energy creation” technology at local universities are being promoted. We are promoting energy conservation and the use of new energy, reducing the environmental burden, and conserving and regenerating the natural environment. “Rice farming and carp raising utilizing the blessings of snow” applied by the “Nagaoka / Ojiya ‘Nishikigoi Birthplace’ Activation Promotion Council” composed of Nagaoka City, Ojiya City, residents’ groups of both cities, JA, colored carp related groups, etc. System was certified as a Japanese agricultural heritage in 2016 (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries). This means that the agricultural system that utilizes rice terraces and fence pond resources, such as rice cultivation and carp raising that has been passed down to the region, has been recognized as representing Japan, and the pride of the citizens and the regional brand. It seems that it will lead to an improvement in the image of. It is the birthplace of colored carp and the development of breeding and high-quality colored carp production technology. Even now, it is a supply center of the original species used for colored carp breeding that is practiced all over the world, and it is considered that it has established a solid position in terms of originality even from a global perspective. In order to secure water in the hilly and mountainous areas, the use of spring water, horizontal wells, and melted snow water by Maki’s collaborative work, winter flooding, and a mechanism to send water for carp raising to rice cultivation during drought, etc. The traditional and unique technology and knowledge adapted to the environment of Japan seems to have high resilience. In addition, the landscape where rice terraces and ponds are lined up in a valley throughout the year is unique. Izumozaki Town is almost in the center of Niigata Prefecture, Famous as a scenic town with a sea and mountains (1st place in the 100 best scenic spots in Niigata) with a coastline of about 10 km facing the Sea of Japan. In addition, there is plenty of taste such as the birthplace of Ryokan, the place of mourning for Basho, the territory of the Edo period, the birthplace of the modern oil industry, the industry with the largest production of paper balloons in Japan, and the rich gourmet food unique to the land blessed with nature. The beauty of the setting sun over the Sea of Japan is also overwhelming. Izumozaki where you can enjoy seasonal gourmet food. Although it is not particularly flashy, the charcoal-grilled “Hamayaki” and “Hondara Burger” and the famous “Seasoned rice with turban shell” that won the 2013 International Local Gourmet Grand Prix General Grand Prix maximize the original taste of the ingredients. It is a delicious dish that has been brought out to the public. Ryokan Milk, which inherits Izumozaki’s dairy farming, has many deep-rooted fans. “Koshihikari Rice from Izumozaki” and “Kamatani Ume (according to the 1911 Niigata Prefectural Horticultural Yearbook), 500 plum trees are planted in about 1.5 ha, and the production volume is about 1.2 t, which is a special product. However, in recent years, the cultivated area has decreased due to the aging of the ume and processed processed ume products, and some ume gardens have stopped cultivating due to the floods and earthquakes that occurred in 2004 and 2007. Using the earth and sand generated by the disaster, a 40 a housing complex was created, and 160 plum trees were planted by local Izumozaki Elementary School children and cultivated by the Kamatani Plum Cultivation Association.)” There are many. In addition, he has been making paper fusen since 1919. The coastal area where the town is located prospered as a fishing area in the Sea of Japan and a trading area with Sado, but it is a valuable job that many townspeople can participate in as a job to replace the fishing in the rough winter of the sea and as a handicraft of the fisherman’s wife. It was a source of income in winter. Until the early Showa period, it seems that it was actively made in the metropolitan area, but with the passage of time, the traders disappeared, and now it seems that most of them are made in this town, which has been a production center for a long time. Nowadays, in addition to ordinary paper balloons, I hear that we also accept paper balloons for viewing such as Japanese crested ibis and penguins, custom-made balloons, and balloons with names. It is a paddy field that has been called “Land of Vigorous Rice Plants” since ancient times at one end of the Echigo Plain that extends to the left bank of the Shinano River. It is a wide-area JA created by the merger of 3JA in SANTO District in February 2001. We aim to create an agricultural environment that is not biased toward uniformity by taking advantage of the characteristics of wide-area regional conditions. JA’s goal It seems that the major goal is “to change the constitution, not to change the physique significantly” based on the origin of JA “My home village Agricultural Cooperative”. As a JA that is rooted in the community by strengthening its management structure, it aims to create a JA that can meet the needs of union members and local residents, and respond to the promotion of local agriculture and the revitalization of local communities. Leading breed, Wase Yamato Taro: Taking advantage of the characteristics of the dunes, the work will proceed about one month earlier than usual, with sprouting in mid-March and planting in mid-April. It can be harvested from late August to late September by covering the soil with black vinyl to prevent weeds from growing(mulching culture : Do not use those that are sick or rot during apical bud excision / division work. For seed taro cultivated with soil texture other than sand soil, only grandchild potatoes are used because the child potatoes are often spoiled. In order to grow the apical buds, the tiny taro is not divided and the seedlings are raised in a 55-hole cell tray. Seedling raising method and cultivation management of cell molded seedlings using split seed taro : Seedling raising days is about 30 to 40 days when raising seedlings in the greenhouse after emergence on a hotbed. It takes about 60 days to do it in an unheated greenhouse. The unfolded leaves are planted so that they are as high as the mulch surface, and the soil cover is such that the root pot is hidden(Drying of the soil in the ridges after planting tends to cause poor survival and subsequent growth.). By managing the soil in the ridges so that they do not dry out due to water passage, etc., the yield seems to be about the same as that of conventional seedlings. Cell-molded seedlings can be planted without problems with a semi-automatic transplanter for taro.)and automatically supplying water using an irrigation tube with a timer. The harvest season for taro produced in the prefecture is usually from late September to October, but it is encouraging. Since many taro are born in the parent taro, it is a symbol of prosperity of descendants and is an indispensable food for agricultural rituals. It is useful as the mainstream variety of Niigata Prefecture(In Gosen City, Niigata Prefecture, excellent quality is cultivated after about 20 years of cultivation incorporating breeding.), and it is a round taro type variety that is round and has a fine texture that does not collapse(It does not fall apart or even change its color while boiling.)and has a moderate sliminess. The skin is white and delicate. Sari Taro(砂里芋) is harvested in the sandy areas of Shibata City and Seiro Town, Niigata Prefecture, and is registered as a trademark by JA Kitaechigo-Representative of winter food ingredients that are indispensable for local cuisine Noppei-jiru(It is a typical home-cooked dish in Niigata, and is a local dish that is everywhere in Japan. Unlike “Noppe soup” scattered all over the country, “Noppe” in Niigata is not soup but rather food cooked by boiling taro as the main ingredient, and vegetables and mushrooms are boiled in a light taste. It is attached, and it seems that taro is used for the bluish tint. In winter, when you can’t get pods, sprinkle “Totomame: cooked salmon belly”. Totomame is a salmon egg. It seems that this is loosened, mixed with salt, stored, and boiled as needed. Since Niigata is a deep snowy land, I made a lot of it on days when I couldn’t afford to shop, and used the snow as a refrigerator to store the whole pot in the snow. From the remnants of that, it seems that “Noppe” is chilled and eaten. In the past, scallops were used for soup stock, but nowadays chicken and aramaki-jake are cut into small pieces. There are two ways to make the thickening, such as using a lot of taro and adding it with slime, using potato starch, and having a lot of juice and a little soup. It seems that it varies depending on the region, such as “Noppe soup”. It is devised with the unique taste of the house, and there are many variations in ingredients, cutting, making, and eating. “Noppe”, which has been passed down from mother to child as a family taste and has been eaten for a long time, seems to be popular as the taste of Niigata’s bath. It’s a staple of New Year’s cuisine, but it’s eaten all year round. Whenever there is a behavior such as a festival, a memorial service, or a wedding ceremony, every house in Niigata Prefecture always makes “Noppe”. Even if the osechi is from a caterer, it seems that there are many places where only “Noppe” is made at that house.)”. Echigo – Nagaoka Japan Agricultural Cooperatives, Mainly green soybeans, taro, and green onions. Yamakoshi brand vegetables, Kagura-Nanban(Cayenne ; Recommended for spring and summer)and Ships pears, eggplants, cabbage, etc.Shinano River : Fertile soil to produce and hot and humid summer. And all the vegetables grown in the harsh environment in winter snowfall are delicious. Eleven varieties shipped from mid-June to early October – Green soybeans. It seems that the flavor is different depending on the season. Kagura-nanban(It belongs to the Capsicum annuum family and is cultivated in the same way as peppers and green peppers)Outdoor culture : The plant height grows from 1m to 1.2 m and is harvested from august to september. Fruit shape like pushing peppers from above. Rugged like the Shishimai (lion dance) that appears in sacred music and dance.)Return to the story of ‘Edamame’. Yahiko – Musume(daughter)in spring and Niigata soy beans in summer are common. The harvest time varies slightly depending on the variety. The feature is that you can eat ‘Edamame’ for a long period of about half a year. Around mid-July, the Hatsu – Daruma, Yokei, and Otsunahime.Yuagari- Musume and Nigata type No.14 – Late July to early August. Niigata soy beans from early to mid-August and Banshaku No.5 in late. Tsukimi-Musume in early September and Yukine from early to mid. Then, in late September, Koshiissun (renamed from Isshishi in the spring of 2020). It will be shipped in relay format with side dishes from late to early October. Summer varieties have a strong sweetness, and Autumn varieties have an increased umami taste.

It grows up in the fertile land on the banks of the Shinano River, fully receiving its blessings. When peeled, the beautiful silky whiteness stands out. Strong sliminess and rich sweetness strike the tongue. In addition, production expansion is conspicuous, especially in paddy field conversion fields.

Seed taro is planted in April and seems to be harvested mainly from September to October. Harvest on a sunny day, and the producer is careful not to damage it as much as possible. After digging, remove the soil and carefully remove the roots and fluff attached to Taro. It seems that Taro, which looks round and big, will be a high-end grade with high value in the market.

Paddy field single cropping area: It seems that it is not just the efforts of discerning rice cultivation and active sales by the single cooperative. Regarding land-use agriculture such as rice cultivation and conversion, we promote “village farming by corporations”, support village farming that has diversified due to the deepening of side jobs, and introduce blue sky city and garden crops three-dimensionally on top of that, local food We are trying to promote comprehensive production for local consumption. The first is soybeans that have been converted. It seems that it is mostly done by a voluntary production organization or a corporation of village farming, but it is tackled by forming a housing complex along the water flow path and forming a block rotation. Similar to rice, we have established a brand by creating cultivation guidelines and aiming for high-level leveling of technology, promoting organic and reduced chemical fertilizer cultivation, and unifying quality and quality by centralized collection of country elevators. However, it seems that they are actively selling. In addition, we are working on processing tofu, frying, and natto with this soybean, and we are also focusing on developing new products such as soymilk ice cream and sweets made from beans, which are gaining popularity. The second is the introduction of horticulture, which is carried out in some fields within the jurisdiction and conversion. We recommend open-field cultivation of green onions, taro, sweet potatoes, strawberries, melons, flowers, plums, etc., asparagus is introduced as a priority crop in facility horticulture, and tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, asparagus, komatsuna, etc. are used in the house after raising paddy rice seedlings. I heard that the cultivation of taro is also recommended. In addition to shipping to the market, sales destinations have started tie-up sales with mass retailers and co-ops, and it seems that they are also focusing on local sales at direct sales offices.

Dream of a Butterfly: Zhuangzi had a dream in which he acted like a butterfly, and when he woke up, he wondered whether you had become a butterfly in the dream, or even whether you had done the dream yourself. I didn't understand. A classy person who reached a state of absolute freedom and no fear was called a divine person or a supreme person. He fought his way to the point of losing sight of his true nature and worth in pursuit of power, wealth, and honor. Continuing, he makes puns and loudly ridicules the clinging worldly people from a transcendental perspective. Sho Shu no Yume: The ambiguity of dreams and reality, the transience of life, and butterflies that signify longevity and rebirth. Ryotaro Shiba, Ryojun Matsumoto, Kansai Seki etc. Life is just a short moment, so don't have any regrets. "I become a butterfly and fly. When I looked down, I saw my human self lying down. Is it true that the butterfly I am now, flitting around as a butterfly, is reality, and the person I am living as a person, surrounded by the mundane world, is a dream? Or am I dreaming right now?"

Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.
【Within the jurisdiction】
Narita City, Chiba Prefecture, Shisui Town, Inba District (JA Narita City, JA Group Chiba)
【Origin of name】
It has a bright reddish-purple skin color, and is expected to be widely adapted to the Kanto region, which is the main production area for edible varieties.
【Major features】
A word that compares the state of being unable to distinguish between oneself and things, or the inability to distinguish between dreams and reality. The origin of the "Dream of the Butterfly'' is said to lie in a dream that Zhuangzi, a philosopher during the Warring States period of China, had. The term is also used as a metaphor for the fragility of life, as it is difficult to distinguish between dreams and reality. When you hear the word "kocho", you immediately think of the blockbuster comic "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" (Japanese manga by Koyoharu Gotoge), which has become a social phenomenon. It was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from issue 11 in 2016 to issue 24 in 2020. It seems that many people associate him with the characters from "The total number of books published has exceeded 150 million copies as of February 2021.'' Chiba Prefecture is the second largest producer of sweet potatoes in Japan. Even within the prefecture, Narita City has volcanic ash soil known as the "Kanto Loam Layer," which is suitable for growing sweet potatoes, and is highly rated in the market for growing delicious sweet potatoes. The dried sweet potatoes "Amaimo-n'' and "Amaimo-n+'' are special products that are produced and processed in JA Narita City. "Amaimo-n'' includes "Quick Sweet(It is a strain of sweet potatoes with excellent appearance and good taste. Because it contains low-temperature gelatinizable starch with a gelatinization temperature of around 50°C, it can be quickly cooked and is expected to be used as a convenient fruit and vegetable product. Main characteristics Quick Sweet was selected from a cross-breeding combination with "Beniazuma'' as the mother plant and "Kyushu No. 30'' as the sire plant, with the aim of developing a fruit and vegetable cultivar with excellent appearance quality, taste, and pest resistance system. The shape is spindle-shaped, and the skin is reddish-purple in color, giving it an excellent appearance. The gelatinization temperature of the starch contained is around 50°C, about 20°C lower than that of regular sweet potato starch, and cooking is quick. The meat color of the steamed sweet potato is pale yellow, and the taste is good, about the same as "Beniazuma". Moreover, it shows good taste even when cooked in a microwave oven, which normally has poor taste. The yield is similar to that of Beniazuma),'' which is a variety with a sticky texture and sweet taste, and "Ama-imo+,'' which is said to have a higher fiber content and stronger sweetness than Quick Sweet, has a sticky texture and sweetness. We use Beniharuka sweet potatoes. Both products do not use any coloring agents or food additives, so you can enjoy the original deliciousness of sweet potatoes safely and securely. Chiba Prefecture boasts the third largest shipment of sweet potatoes in the country. Among them, sweet potatoes from Narita City have been highly praised since the 1970s. Not only were there different types of sweet potatoes, but the pesticides were also different, and machines weren't as convenient as they are now, so they couldn't make them in large quantities. It's only been about 25 years since the modern machines became available that it became easier to make. First, cut the grass and then level the field. Then, rotary (plough) the soil, add fertilizer, and spread mulch on the bed. Seedlings are planted around mid-April. Harvesting begins around the Lantern Festival in August, and the harvest begins in earnest from the end of August to the beginning of September. It ends in mid-November. Sweet potatoes must be shipped and stored from late August. Since it has to be done before frost sets in, the harvesting process ends around mid-November. Storage is necessary to increase the sugar content of sweet potatoes. Although they are delicious even when shipped as is, storing Beniharuka sweet potatoes, for example, not only changes their sweetness, but also changes their texture from chewy to moist. Beniharuka(Ipomoea batatas Norin No.64 ; The old systematic name is Kyushu No. 143)(From the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Product Variety Registration website), Application Number 21473 Date of Application 2007/09/18 Date of Publication of Application 2007/12/21 Registration Number 19255. Plant type is slightly creeping, stem color is small, node color is slight, stem length is medium, number of branches is slightly large, apical leaf color (1) (most dominant color) is light green, apical leaf color (2) (secondary) No target color), no leaf color (most dominant color), no leaf color (secondary color), leaf shape is heart-shaped, leaf vein color is small, honey gland color is slightly large, leaf stalk length is slightly long, bush. The length of the scab is medium, the shape of the potato (1) is long spindle shape, the skin color of the potato (basic color) is red, the skin color of the potato (auxiliary color) is purple, and the skin color of the potato (shade) is medium, The skin color (distribution) of the monster is uniform, the flesh color of the worm is yellowish white, the depth of the foxtail is medium, the disagreement group is group A, the open-field flowering is not present, and the number of peaches per strain is high. Slightly many, slightly heavy per a, no amount of carotene, strong resistance to Meloidogyne incognita, and slightly strong resistance to Pratylenchus coffeae (Minami). It has excellent early hypertrophy and is shipped from an early stage by poly mulch and tunnel cultivation. Agricultural Experiment Station in Kochi Prefecture in 1945: The exodermis is crimson, long-spindle-shaped, and the taste of early digging is very good, but the ecological characteristics and sprouting properties are not very good. Weak against Alternaria porri and Nekobu nematode, but strong against Negusare nematode (Pratylenchus).) The distinction is recognized by the fact that the leaf shape is heart-shaped, the color of the honey gland is a little large, and the skin color (auxiliary color) of the worm is purple. Control varieties "Benimasari Sweet Potato (1992, Kyushu Agricultural Experiment Station, Field Utilization Department, Sweets Mating Laboratory (currently, Agricultural Research Organization, Kyushu Okinawa Agricultural Research Center, Hata Cultivation Research Department, Sweet potato Breeding Laboratory)" has excellent skin color and taste. "Kyushu No. 104 Sweet Potato" was the seed parent, and "Kyushu 87010-21 Sweet Potato", which has excellent appearance and taste, was bred and bred. "National Research and Development Corporation Agriculture / Food Industry Technology Research Organization (Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture) City: Applicant)) ", the honey gland color is a little more, the shape of the worm (1) is long spindle shape, the skin color of the worm (auxiliary color) is purple, etc. , It is said that distinction is recognized. Registration date 2010/03/11 With a duration of breeder's rights of 25 years. Variety Registrant, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Registered Variety Breeder, Mr. Yoshinaga, Mr. Yamakawa, Mr. Nakazawa, Mr. Sonoda, Mr. Kumagai, Mr. Kai, Mr. Ishiguro, Mr. Katayama , Mr. Sakai. It is no exaggeration to say that among the sticky sweet potatoes in Japan, the popularity is divided into Anno sweet potatoes. A smooth mouthfeel and an irresistible taste of sweetness(Elegant sweetness with a high sugar content, especially maltose.). The meat quality after cooking(Also suitable for raw materials such as sweets and shochu.)such as steaming and baking is slightly powdery when dug, but it becomes sticky when stored. I hear that the resistance to wilt disease(Rhizoctonia solani: Fusarium spp., Rhizoctonia spp., Pythium spp. etc.)is superior to that of "Kokei No. 14 Sweet Potato". The harvest is from August to November, but the sweetness increases after storage for a while, and it tends to be fluffy from late autumn to winter. Sugar content (according to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Recent Food Ingredients Database", 29.7 g of sugar, 1.2 g of protein, 0.2 g of fat, and 134 kcal of calories per 100 g of raw sweet potato are commercially available. Since one sweet potato weighs about 250 g, one sugar is 74.2 g and calories are 335 kcal), especially C12H22O11, which is a variety with an elegant sweetness. The potatoes are spindle-shaped and have excellent alignment. The meat quality after cooking such as steaming and baking is slightly powdery when dug, but when stored, it becomes sticky and tends to become sweeter. Although it has the property of being less susceptible to root-knot nematode damage even with continuous cropping, long-term continuous cropping is avoided because the root-knot nematode density in the field increases due to continuous cropping. The Narita Struggle (Sanrizuka Struggle) is an ongoing struggle in and around Sanrizuka, a rural area of ​​Narita City, Chiba Prefecture, by local residents of Shibayama Town, Sanbu District, Narita City, progressive political parties, and New Left activists. Struggle (conflict) against the construction or survival of New Tokyo International Airport (commonly known as Narita Airport, the official name after April 1, 2004 is Narita International Airport). The topography of Narita City is roughly divided into the eastern and southern plateaus and the northern and western flatlands, which descend from the Daiei and Toyama districts in the southeast to the Shimousa and Toyozumi districts in the northwest and the Kozu district in the west. The highest point is 42 m above sea level at the tip of Minami-Sanrizuka, and the lowest part is 1 m above sea level at the tip of Anzai. In addition, the geology consists of a reddish-brown Kanto loam layer, followed by a yellowish-brown sand layer and a so-called Narita layer mixed with small gravel. This Narita layer was formed during the Pleistocene epoch (about 100,000 years ago) when the city of Narita was still on the seabed of an inner bay that opened toward Kashima, known as Old Tokyo Bay. After that, it became a land due to the uplift of the Kanto region tens of thousands of years ago. The skull fossil of the Naumann elephant excavated from Saruyama, Narita City is estimated to be from the Paleolithic period about 150,000 years ago. This is an academically valuable discovery, and the Pre-Pottery Age elliptical stone tools found at the Sanrizuka site were used about 30,000 years ago, and are attracting attention as valuable relics that adorn the dawn of Narita. In the subsequent Jomon and Yayoi periods, traces of primitive and ancient Narita people who overcame the harsh nature can be found in shell mounds and ruins. Narita was the center of ancient Inba Province and Shimokai Province. During the period of the Ritsuryo system, Narita belonged to Habu, Inba, and Katori counties, and it seems that it was also an important transportation hub in ancient times, with stations in Yamakata, Araumi, and Mashiki. In the middle of the Heian period, Kancho bishop (916-998) opened Naritasan Shinshoji Temple in order to put down the rebellion of Taira no Masakado that shook the land of Joso. During the Kamakura period, Jionji Temple (now Daijionji Temple) was built by Shingen (1064-1136, a Jodo Buddhist of the Eshin school in the Tendai sect during the Insei era), who was invited by the Osuka clan who ruled the area being revived. In addition, the temple gate guarded by fierce Deva Kings at Namegawa Kannon(音にきく 滑河寺の 朝日ヶ渕 あみ衣にて すくふなりけり), which was rebuilt in the Muromachi period, is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. In the Middle Ages, Narita came under the control of the Shimousa Chiba clan and its descendants, and under the Tokugawa regime, the Sakura Domain, the Takaoka Domain, the Tayasu family, the shogunate government territory, and the direct retainer of a shogun territory were involved. After the abolition of feudal domains in 1871, the district under its jurisdiction changed several times. Narita City was born by merging one town and six villages, Habu Village, Nakago Village, Kuzumi Village, Toyozumi Village, and Toyama Village. Narita International Airport, Japan's gateway to the skies, opened on May 20, 1978 after many twists and turns since its establishment on July 4, 1966. As of the end of March 2020, 105 airlines operate in 129 cities including Japan (129 cities in 40 countries overseas, 23 cities in 3 regions in Japan), and the average number of aircraft departures and arrivals per day is 706. The number of passengers at the airport increased to 41.48 million annually, more than five times the number when the airport opened. The population, which was 45,075 when the city was established, is now 130,567 (as of September 30, 2022, according to the Basic Resident Register). As a base for international exchange in various fields, it has transformed into a city with the face of an international exchange city. Watermelon cultivation in Narita City is roughly divided into two types: red ball and yellow ball. Red ball is mainly cultivated in the Toyama area, but it is on the decline. Yellow ball (cream watermelon) has been cultivated mainly in the kuzumi (inooka) area since ancient times, and it seems that it has cleared the technology that is considered difficult to cultivate, and has succeeded in producing good products. Usually, outdoor cultivation cannot be harvested until August, but due to advances in agricultural technology, it is now possible to ship from mid-May to mid-August with a three-stage system of pipe houses, large tunnels, and normal tunnels. Since each watermelon is a heavy crop, harvesting it seems to require a lot of labor. While the standard red ball weighs 7 to 8 kg, the yellow ball weighs 12 to 13 kg, and because it breaks easily, it cannot be mechanized and is harvested by hand one by one. On the other hand, it seems that many farmers are adopting pollination work by bees in order to save labor in cultivation. As a nationwide watermelon production center, Narita City produces approximately 1,500 tons of watermelon annually, which is shipped widely from the Kanto region to the Tohoku and Kinki regions. It is larger than the red ball and is characterized by its low production volume, and is generally used as a rare variety for gifts and dessert decorations. By the way, it seems that "thin stems'' and "thick black stripes'' are said to be delicious. In addition, growers recognize delicious and superior produce by the sound of watermelon tapping. Watermelon with yellow flesh is classified in the same family Cucurbitaceae as red watermelon, and is also called yellow watermelon or yellow-fleshed watermelon. Yellow watermelon in general is sometimes referred to as cream watermelon, but the large ball type is also called cream watermelon. In addition, the Orange Heart (Yamato Farm Holdings Co., Ltd., Yamato Plantation Co., Ltd., head office: Byodobo Town, Tenri City, Nara Prefecture. The fruit is slightly tall. The flesh color is bright yellow.) and small ball Kitaro (vegetation control is easy, pollen production is good, and fruit setting is excellent. The period from pollination to harvest is the same as that of small ball varieties with red flesh. April to May. It seems that it can be harvested after 36 to 40 days for harvesting, and 32 to 36 days for harvesting from June to July. The sugar content is stable and high, and you can taste the strong sweetness and freshness unique to watermelon.)However, some yellow-fleshed watermelons have a high sugar content and good taste, but most of them have soft flesh. On June 9, 2022, the Narita International Airport Company carried out turtle control work from April 20 to prevent turtles living in ponds around Narita Airport (Narita City, Chiba Prefecture) from invading the runway. Release. It seems that the policy is to continue the control work about once a week until the end of October. It is dangerous if a turtle goes up the runway, which may affect the regular operation of the airplane or get caught in the engine of the aircraft and cause an accident. There have been 11 cases of turtles invading the runway since 2013. Two cases were confirmed this year on the taxiway near the runway, but it seems that there was no effect on the operation. The roots of pears in Chiba Prefecture date back to the Edo period. It is said that “Nashi pear” cultivation began in the prefecture in 1769 during the Edo period, when Zenroku KAWAKAMI worked on it in the Yawata region (currently the Yawata district of Ichikawa city). Born in the Yawata region in 1742, Zenroku preferred books to children and was scholarly. I was enthusiastic about the breeding industry and was looking for what kind of crops would be suitable for the Yawata region: After seeing high-quality Nashi pear cultivation around Ogaki in Mino Province, he learned the technique and brought back the branches and spread them to the Yawata region; Born in Yawata in 1742, Zenroku came up with the idea of pear cultivation for Edo citizens, visited the region of Owari Mino where pear cultivation is popular, investigated, spread pear cultivation in Yawata, and made the market crowded as “Yawata Pear”. The pears harvested in the Yawata region were transported to Edo and were touted as luxury goods. For this reason, the production area expanded rapidly, and it is estimated that it became the largest pear production area in the Kanto region at the end of Tokugawa. In the era of the 10th Tokugawa Shogun Ieharu(1737-1786), when Okitsugu TANUMA became an old man through a side servant and wielded power. Tanuma used the financial resources of the merchants to reclaim Inba-numa and Teganuma (both in the lower reaches of the Tonegawa River). Exhibitor: Ayumi of Fruit Trees in Chiba Prefecture (published by the Federation of Fruit Tree Associations in Chiba Prefecture) “Edo Famous Places” (Tenpo 5th year, 1834). The prefecture is a suitable land for pear cultivation, which is blessed with soil and weather conditions, and boasts the largest cultivation area, yield, and output in Japan. (2018) The prefecture is a suitable place for pear cultivation, which is blessed with soil and weather conditions. Due to the warm climate surrounded by the sea on three sides, the flowers bloom at the earliest time in the Kanto region, and the harvest time is also early. The main variety, Kosui Pear, has been produced in various regions in the prefecture in early August, which is the middle of summer, and the time when it is hot and you want to eat pears overlaps with the peak harvest period, which is the most delicious. Pears have been said to be delicious. In addition, the volcanic ash soil, which is abundant in the prefecture, is suitable for pear cultivation because it has a strong ability to hold fertilizer and has good drainage, and the tree grows healthy and healthy. It is said that such trees will produce delicious fruits. The fruits also grow in plenty of sunlight. Since it belongs to the Kanto production area and is close to the consumption area, customer feedback can be heard immediately. Producers in Chiba prefecture understand well that consumers want delicious pears. In addition, it is possible to deliver freshly harvested pears. Furthermore, compared to remote production areas, it is possible to keep the trees in a state close to ripe, so it seems that pears with good taste can be harvested. In the traditional production area of Chiba prefecture, which has continued since the Edo period, there are many years of accumulated technology for making delicious pears. And even now, producers are working hard to improve their skills in order to make more delicious pears. For example, soil preparation cannot be done overnight. Over the years, organic matter such as compost has been applied to the pear garden to create soil where pear trees can grow soundly. Healthy trees are not only resistant to disease, but also produce delicious fruits. In addition, pruning work, fertilizer method, all are said to be done with an emphasis on taste. And we harvest the most delicious time and deliver it to consumers. In addition, in each production area of the prefecture, pesticides are used properly, and not only the history of pesticide application is recorded, but also the entire pear garden is covered with a fine mesh net to prevent the invasion of pests, and female pests called pheromones. We produce delicious pears by making various efforts such as filling the pear garden with odors to prevent mating and preventing the outbreak of pests. “Narita” is a core city located in the northern center of Chiba prefecture. The north borders Ibaraki Prefecture across the Tone River, which finally flows, the west borders Imba Swap, which is designated as a prefectural natural park, and the east borders Katori City. The Nekona River runs to the west of the city, and the Daisuga River runs to the east. Surrounding them is a vast paddy field and a fertile field area on the Hokuso Plateau. Agricultural land development was difficult on plateaus that were not blessed with water, and it was almost untouched until the Middle Ages. During the Edo period, when the war was over and Newly reclaimed rice field development was flourishing nationwide, the shogunate finally led the development of this plateau. However, it seems that only a small part of the land became farmland, and most of the plateau was used as “Maki”, which was set up in the Edo period, that is, a ranch for free-ranging horses. Full-scale cultivating will take place after the beginning of the Meiji era, when samurai vocational training for samurai who lost their jobs and urgent development to increase food production began. However, there was no water on the plateau, and there were no trees that blocked the wind, and above all, the untouched soil was hard. The conditions were too harsh for the samurai who were not accustomed to farming to clear the land. It is said that at the beginning of the reclamation, the pioneers were separated and fled. However, with the opening of the Sobu Railway in what is now Yachimata City in 1897, new pioneers from all over the country began to gather on the Kitaso Plateau. This included many farmers with a wealth of experience. Since then, the reclamation of the Hokuso Plateau has progressed rapidly, and various crops have been planted in vast fields. At the beginning of the reclamation, wheat and buckwheat were planted in the fields as food for the pioneers themselves. Wheat and buckwheat are resistant to drought and grow on thin lands, making them ideal for waterless settlements. Similarly, millet and millet were planted because they are resistant to drought. It seems that the yield of all crops did not increase so much in the fields without fertilizer that had just been cultivated, but wheat continued to be cultivated as a major crop from the Taisho era to the Showa era. Also, at the beginning, there was no windbreak on the plateau, and the pioneers were troubled by the strong winds blowing and the dust blown by the winds. Pioneers will also plant tea around the fields, which doubles as a windbreak. Since then, tea production has flourished, and at one point it has grown to the point where it was exported overseas, but from the middle of the Meiji era to the Taisho era, prices continued to fall and slumped. Another name for Shimosa, which now refers to the northern part of the prefecture. Most of this area is located on a vast plateau called the Hokuso Plateau (Shimousa Plateau), and especially vegetable cultivation boasts one of the highest production in the country, and it serves as a food supply base to the adjacent metropolitan area. It plays an important role. The Hokuso Central Agricultural and Water Conservation Project is being carried out in the central part of this plateau, in a district that spans Chiba City, Narita City, Sakura City, Togane City, Yachimata City, Tomisato City, and Sammu City. The prefecture is characterized by a flat terrain as a whole, and is a prefecture without mountains, which is rare in Japan. There are many areas with an altitude of 20 to 50 m, and the terrain is almost flat. However, this plateau is carved with a number of elongated valleys extending from the periphery, forming a lower lowland. There is no river like a river on the current plateau, but it is speculated that the rainwater that fell on the plateau became a stream in ancient times, and it took many years to scrape the plateau and form a valley. The business district includes the Kashima River, which flows into Imba-numa, the Takasaki River, which is a tributary of the Kashima River, and the Nekona River, which flows into the Tone River. Both are small rivers, but these rivers and their tributaries seem to have carved complex valleys into the plateau. The soil that covers the plateau is volcanic ash soil called the Kanto loam layer. It was carried tens of thousands of years ago when the mountains of Mt. Fuji and Hakone erupted. Because the particles are fine, they fly up in the wind when they dry. In addition, volcanic ash soil is generally easy for water to pass through and is not suitable for paddy fields. Coupled with the lack of rivers, the plateau was in a difficult condition for development. On the other hand, the valley carved on the plateau is an alluvial plain formed by small rivers, and the soil is fertile. Due to the abundance of streams and springs that flow along the edge of the plateau, Yatsuda has been built and rice cultivation has been practiced since ancient times. The prefecture facing the Pacific Ocean is affected by the Kuroshio Current (warm current), so it has a relatively warm climate. The plateau is generally warm, but the business district is located in the central part, which does not face the sea, so it seems to have the characteristic of a so-called inland climate, where the temperature difference between winter and summer is large. The average annual rainfall is 1,355 mm, which is less than the average value in Japan (about 1,700 mm). In winter, there is little rain and it is dry, and the seasonal wind from the west is strong, so the dust in the Kanto loam layer often rolls up. The plateau, which has few obstacles to the wind, was also plagued by wind damage. The hills from the north to the east are dotted with industrial parks and golf courses, and to the south is Narita International Airport, the gateway to Japan's sky. In addition, the Narita district, which is the center of the city, prospers as the gate town of Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, which has a history of more than 1000 years, and is crowded with many worshipers every year. The city is dotted with many other temples and shrines, and is a city that blends traditional and international appearances surrounded by abundant water and greenery. Although it is located in the metropolitan area, it is actually the second largest agricultural and agricultural area after Hokkaido. Producers listen directly to consumers' requests and work hard to produce crops to meet those needs, and consumers can eat locally sourced, safe, fresh and high-quality ingredients. In this way, the biggest feature is that producers and consumers are in close contact with each other. Both producers and consumers are refining each other to grow better crops. It is unique to Narita that you can experience the idyllic rural scenery of rice fields and fields just a short distance away from residential areas and commercial areas. A masterpiece of farmers who work hard to grow rice: The Hokuso Plateau, which is blessed with fertile soil, has rice fields as far as the eye can see, and rice is cultivated. When you think of rice that is famous nationwide, you can think of Hokkaido, Akita, Yamagata, and Niigata, but as you can see from the window when you take off and land at Narita Airport by plane, this area is actually a big one. It is a rice-growing area. The rice harvested in Narita, which is located in the middle of the large rice-growing area across the Tone River, is just a word of deliciousness. It is a masterpiece that farmers are proud of, working hard to make delicious rice. The rice harvested in the city is varieties such as “Koshihikari Rice” and “Fusakogane Rice”, but the rice that is carefully selected by the region and the group from soil preparation to harvesting is called brand rice. Ino Kabuki rice: Cultivated in the Daiei district. The Ino Kabuki Rice Study Group was established in 2003 to brand the rice produced in the former Daieicho, and has been on sale since 2004. The name was given to show the pride of the region along with the revival of the local performing art “Ino Kabuki” that has been handed down from the Genroku era in the Ino district of Narita city, which is the production area. The variety is Koshihikari, which is low in protein and has a wonderful sweetness, carefully selected only from high-quality rice with large grains of 1.9 mm or more and thorough cultivation management. Ibaraki Prefecture is famous for producing lotus roots, but the Shimousa district of Narita City also makes lotus roots one of its special products. “Lotus roots” cultivated along the Tone River in the district are shipped in the open field and in the house throughout the year. The skin is white, the knots are thick and long, and it is crispy and crunchy, so it seems that it can be lightly boiled and eaten as a salad. Also, even if it is boiled or stir-fried, it is chewy and sticky and very delicious. Cream watermelon: Fresh with moderate sugar content and refreshing texture. Many people think of watermelons with red contents, but here in Narita, we produce watermelons with yellow contents in addition to red. The city cultivates red and yellow watermelons, which account for 90% of the total. It is said that it produces about 70,000 cases (about 900 tons) of cream watermelon annually. It is mainly cultivated in the Kuju and Tohyama districts such as Omuro and Toyomi, and boasts top-class production. The varieties are mainly “Kogane”, and some varieties called “Golden Kyokuto(Fine stripes are added to the bright green background, and the fruit is 8 to 12 kg. The flesh is a beautiful bright yellow, and the sugar content is inside and outside 12 degrees. The meat is tender and juicy, and has a good reputation for its refreshing taste. It will ripen properly within 52 days after fruit set. The grass is vigorous, the leaves are large, and the internodes are slightly clogged. Fruit set is good, but it is easily deformed at low nodes, so It seems that the 3rd and 4th flowers will settle all at once.)” are used. It is often cut and sold, and its moderate sugar content and refreshing texture are popular. Greenhouse items will be shipped from the end of Golden Week to early June, and open-air items will be shipped from mid-June to July. As for how to choose a delicious watermelon, I often hear that it makes a good sound when hit, but it is better to have it as a whole. Regardless of red or yellow, “thin stems” and “small navels at the bottom of watermelons” are considered good. Luxury pork with outstanding tenderness and juiciness: Diamond pork. High-quality pork with fine meat quality and outstanding softness and juiciness. It is not a hybrid, but a pure white pig called “Middle Yorkshire” is used for the breeding pig, and sweet potatoes are fed as food, so it is said that it melts in the mouth and has a sweet taste. The Middle Yorkshire breed is a pig breed that prevailed throughout the country in the 1950s. Around 1955, 90,000 farmers in the prefecture raised about 110,000 pigs, most of which were of Middle Yorkshire breed. At the 4th All Japan Pig Co-Promotion Society (Held in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture) in 1961, the Middle Yorkshire breed in Chiba Prefecture received the Honorary Award and received national attention as “Chiba York”. However, since the end of the Tokyo Olympics, it has been replaced by large pigs with high production efficiency nationwide, and in the 1990s, it was only kept as a hobby in the prefecture. From around 2004, the movement toward the revival of Chiba York has increased, and in the spring of 2008, seven pig farmers in Chiba Prefecture (Katori City, Narita City, Tomisato City, Choshi City) turned the phantom pig “Chiba York” into “Diamond Pork”. It goes without saying that it is rare that only 500 to 600 heads are shipped annually.



Developed by crossing "Kanto No. 859" and "Koganesengan(Mating in 1958.)" at the Kyushu Agricultural Experiment Station in Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture. Fixed varieties selected and cultivated at the Agricultural Research Institute in Yotsukaido City, Chiba Prefecture. The name was registered in 1984, and the variety was registered the following year. As for the reason; originally, It is native to Central and South America and mainly eats potatoes with thick rhizomes, but leaves and stems can also be used for food. It is easy to secure the amount of energy, and has the advantage of being able to produce even on thin land and a small amount of water. Potatoes are considered to be a crop that saves the world's food crisis(It is thought that in the future, energy and food problems will become increasingly serious).



Beniazuma sweet potato is one of the most popular varieties that was grown in Japan until recently. Enjoy traditional baked sweet potatoes with a good balance of texture and sweetness, and a fluffy, sticky texture and moist parts. The shape is long spindle-shaped, well-aligned, and has a somewhat rugged and massive feel. The skin is a beautiful deep reddish-purple color and the flesh is yellow, and is used for many purposes such as roasted sweet potatoes, vegetable tempura, candied sweet potatoes, and sweets.



JA Zennoh Chiba distributes 4 strains of "Beniazuma" virus-free seedlings. It is known that the virus-free parent strain undergoes mutations over time and its characteristics deteriorate. It has been several years since the current system was distributed, and defects such as "round sweet potatoes" and "grooves" have become noticeable, and deterioration in quality seems to have become a problem at the production site. Characteristics (disease resistance) of Aspenias "line 14-26'' : As a result of testing for resistance to vine splitting disease and damping-off, which are major diseases of sweet potatoes, in 2015, the vine of "line 14-26'' Resistance to splitting disease was "slightly strong," and resistance to damping off was "medium," both of which seem to be on par with "No. 92," the main strain currently being distributed. From 2016 to 2018, regular digging tests were conducted at local fields in Narita City and Katori City, planting in late May and harvesting in early October. As a result, it was revealed that the yield of "line 14-26" was about the same as the main line "No. 92", and it was the highest yielding among the distributed lines. Regarding the shape, the length of the sweet potato is less than 2.5 times the thickness (round sweet potato), which has a medium degree of occurrence like "No. 92", and the occurrence of "grooves" is similar to "No. 92". It was less than that.



In 2018, we are conducting an early cultivation trial in a local field, planting in late April and harvesting in early August. As a result, the yield of M grade (200 grams) or higher for "Series 14-26" was about the same as "No. 92", so it was considered that "Series 14-26" was highly suitable for early mining. However, "Series 14-26" tends to enlarge in the latter half of growth compared to "No. 92", and if the rainy season is prolonged until the harvest time in August like in 2020, the early harvest yield will decrease. There was a possibility. About the distribution and cultivation method of Beniazuma "Series 14-26'' was distributed as a virus-free seedling by JA Zennoh Chiba to farmers in the prefecture through each JA in the form of replacing "Series 14-20''. In addition, "Line 14-26" exhibits strain characteristics under the same cultivation conditions as the Wase strains of Beniazuma that have been selected so far, such as "No. 92" and "K-20", and has grown in number Since there is no difference in growth rate or hypertrophy, it can be introduced without changing fertilization, planting density, planting method, etc. Excerpt from September 2021, Agriculture and Forestry Research Center, Rice and Upland Horticulture Research Institute, Upland Utilization Laboratory (ône, Katori City, Chiba Prefecture).
