It is important work introducing Japanese traditional culture into the future.

A lot of people participate in rice-transplanting in spring.

The rice was a good harvest from rice planting five months later.

This rice is exclusive rice to make Japanese Sake.

It's called Gohaku-mangoku.

Harvest of the rice is performed on the autumn day when it was fine well.

It is also Thanksgiving Day to God who brought a good harvest.

Of course we perform the gain by machine by the present age, but the crop work is performed with all hands

 in the same way as time of the rice-transplanting.

After a crop, we enjoy BBQ together.

Why do you compare it with all others?

Comparing it with somebody, such a thing are not important things.

Because way of life of oneself, it are things given only the person．

The Only Flower In The World ．

To my friends.

I saw all the flowers lined up on display

the shop full of colors and scented embrace

We all have a blossom we like more than the rest

but I think, with flowers, they all are the best

No fighting or envy they never contend

but smile in the sun light and sway in the wind

They all know their mission, it fills them with pride

Everyone is different yet all are alike

I wonder why people must always compare

And judge one another it seems so unfair

To place color, status, and looks to the test

How can these show us who’s the best?

そうさ　僕らは　世界に一つだけの花

　一人一人違う種を持つ

その花を咲かせることだけに

一生懸命になればいい

A man stood beside me and peered with a sigh

He puzzled and pondered but could not decide

With so many flowers and various hues

All were so pretty, which one should he choose?

Just then, a smile broke out on his face

Flowers of different color and shape

He gathered together one of each kind

Hugging them softy with joy in his mind

I saw a small flower as I walked by

Stretch from the shadows to reach for the sky

I thought to myself, what if I was that way

And reach for my own dream and say

そうさ　僕らも　世界に一つだけの花

一人一人違う種を持つ

その花を咲かせることだけに

一生懸命になればいい

小さい花や　大きな花

　一つとして同じものはないから

No.1にならなくても　いい

もともと特別な　Only one

Ashio famous copper mine.

Ashio there is a famous copper mine town.

According to the record, the copper mine was discovered in the 16th century.

Furukawa Ichibei comes to do mine development in 1877, and it is after that an Ashio copper mine became famous.

The Ashio copper mine modernized with many new technologies.

There was became a much volume of production in the Orient in 1893.

However, pollution became the problem with production to increase.

The sulfurous acid gas killed all the trees of the mountain.

In addition, drainage including the heavy metal caused the water pollution of the lower basin and soil pollution of the farmland.

The problem of the drainage was able to be settled in 1897.

The measures of the sulfurous acid gas were very difficult and have taken it until 1956.

The Ashio copper mine was closed in 1973.

More than 38,000 people worked by most time, but the current population is 2,800.

Country,prefecture, Furukawa and a lot of volunteers plant it with trees now.

Green gradually returned to the mountain.

Senjogahara Plateau in NIKKO

I went to The Yukawa-River that streamed down Senjogahara Plateau on 20th of Sep. for fly fishing.

The Senjogahara Plateau is the marshland of 400ha, which is located on the altitude of 1400m.

Yukawa RIver is my most favorite river.

Length of the river is 12.4km. It starts from flow of Yutaki waterfall, which is located on the south of Lake Yunoko. Then it passes Ryuzu waterfall, and becomes river of Jigoku (Hell). Finally, it flows into the shore of Shobugahama of Lake Chuzenji. It flows the westside of Senjogahara Plateau in zigzag direction north and south.

The first fly fishing was Yukawa River in Japan.
Because it is it, Yukawa River is called the Bible of the fly fishing.
