Kahoku Town, Kami City, Kochi Prefecture is the creator of Anpanman (a picture book character who usually lives with Uncle Jam at a bread factory. It’s the hometown of Mr. Takashi YANASE. Anpanman Museum is located in a mountain town where this rich nature still remains. There are no difficult paintings or fixed routes, and it is a museum that you can enjoy as you like. The “Takashi Yanase Gallery” on the 4th floor is the main space of the building. The paintings of Anpanman and others that can only be seen here, drawn by Dr. Yanase for this museum, are on display. In the basement, “Anpanman World” where children can experience the world of anime full of smiles spreads. Not only in the exhibition room, but also on the walls, floors, and stairs inside the building, you can meet Anpanman and his friends here and there. On August 31, 2019, the Kochi Prefectural Horticultural Agricultural Cooperative Association, which has been engaged in the sale of horticultural products in the prefecture, ended its business with the integration into “JA Kochi Prefecture” and closed the curtain on about 97 years of history rice field. We supported the horticultural kingdom, Kochi, by building our own sales system such as centralized shipping in the prefecture and joint calculation method. The function has been taken over by the JA, and it has made a new start from September 1, 2019. Cultivation of “Monobe citron” seems to have started in 1960 when 130 saplings were planted in the old Kiya, Monobe Village district. It seems that it eventually expanded to the entire village. Surrounded by high mountains, the area is cultivated on steep slopes, with very good drainage, short daylight hours, and a cool climate that produces Yuzu with firm skin. Taking advantage of this favorable environment, it seems that the former Monobemura was one of the first to cultivate and sell “Fruit and Fruit Yuzu”. Since the price is several times higher than that of yuzu, which is the raw material for fruit juice, the producers have worked together to improve their cultivation techniques and thoroughly select and select the fruits. It seems that it has become. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries registers and protects the names of products with regional names, which are made by taking advantage of traditional production methods and the characteristics of production areas such as climate, climate, and soil, as intellectual property. (GI) Protection System has started in 2015. As of August 2020, 98 products have been registered, and among the products in the prefecture, the brand citron “Monobe Yuzu” from Monobe Town, Kami City was registered for the first time at the end of June 2020. Registration application number, No. 207, Date of application for registration, April 15, 2019, Name of registered producer group, Kochi Agricultural Cooperative Association, Address of registered producer group, Godaisan, Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture, Name of representative of registered producer group, President of representative board of directors, Mr. Masakazu Jinzenji Classification of specified agriculture, forestry and fishery products, Class 1, Agricultural products, Fruits (Yuzu), Name of specified agriculture, forestry and fishery products, Monobe Yuzu, a production area for specified agricultural, forestry and fishery products, Kami City, Kochi Prefecture, is an administrative division formed by the merger of Monobe Village, Kamikita Town and Tosa Yamada Town on March 1, 2006. Characteristics of specified agriculture, forestry and fishery products “Monobe Yuzu” is cultivated in Kami City, Kochi Prefecture, and is specialized for fruits and vegetables with few scratches, beautiful appearance, and good shelf life. Yuzu has sharp thorns and is easily scratched on the skin. Yuzu for fruits and vegetables, where the appearance is important, requires time and effort for cultivation management such as pruning and harvesting, so 18% of the nationwide Yuzu shipments in 2017 are Yuzu shipped as fruits and vegetables, but “Monobe Yuzu” is Fruit and vegetable shipments account for 69%, and it seems that the high fruit and vegetable ratio stands out. From the trading market, Stable supply for a long period of time is possible, fruit selection is thorough, standards are met, and shelves are good. Especially, there is high reliability in business demand, and customers place orders with Monobe Yuzu designated. It is highly evaluated when there are many. Production method of specified agricultural, forestry and fishery products, production area: Produce in Kami city. Storage after harvest is done in a pre-cooler (3-5 ℃). Shipping standard: When shipping, based on the shipping standard table based on the Yuzu shipping standard set by the Kochi Prefectural Gardening Federation, two selections are performed: rough sorting and main sorting. Form as the final product: “Monobe Yuzu” The final product form is Yuzu (fruits and vegetables). The reason why the characteristics of specific agriculture, forestry and fishery products are mainly attributed to the production area.It is said that there is no such thing. (Special Fruit Tree (Japan Fruit Tree Seedling Association) Kami City, where “Monobe Yuzu” is produced, has an average temperature of 14.9 ° C, and although there is a lot of rainfall, there are many well-drained orchards, and fruits with firm skin can be produced. In addition, after October, which is the coloring period of yellow topaz, which accounts for more than 90% of shipments, the temperature is lower than other Yuzu production areas in the prefecture, and it seems that bright yellow fruits with high market evaluation can be produced. In addition, along with meteorological factors, in the production areas, from the 1955s when cultivation began to the present, careful harvesting to prevent damage reduces the causes of fruit rot, and two fruit selections result in possible rot. It is said that the cultivation management is thorough, in which the fruits are thoroughly removed before shipping and pre-cooled, which leads to good shelf life of the fruits. This leads to the characteristics of “Monobe Yuzu”, which is the beauty of the fruit appearance and the high rate of fruits and vegetables, making it the number one producer of fruits and vegetables in Japan. Achievements in which specified agricultural, forestry and fishery products have been produced in the production area. In 1960, Mr. Umataro Matsuda of the Nekiya district of the former part village planted 130 yuzu seedlings for production using grafted seedlings in Kami City. I heard that is the beginning. At that time, Yuzu was mainly made from fruit juice, but it seems that it was one of the first to grow and sell fruits and vegetables. In 1971, it began to spread throughout the former Monobe Village, and in 1975, with the merger of agricultural cooperatives, the “Monobe Village Agricultural Cooperative Yuzu Production Department” (from 2018, “Kochi Prefecture Agricultural Cooperative Kami District” Renamed to “Monobe Yuzu Production Subcommittee”) , it seems that production methods such as careful harvesting, two-time sorting, and pre-cooling storage that produce the characteristics of Monobe Yuzu have begun. As of 2018, the cultivation area of “Monobe Yuzu” is 145 ha, the number of producers is 172, and the production volume (fruit and vegetable shipment volume) is 807 t, making it the largest producer of fruit and vegetable yuzu in Japan. In addition, as a measure against the aging of producers, the “Yuzu Producing Area Council” consisting of related organizations such as prefectures, production subcommittees, and cities has built a system to attract U / I turners to the production areas and cultivated them. It seems that they are trying to maintain the production area by conducting regular intention surveys and promoting efforts to pass on the uncultivated gardens to the bearers. Whether or not Article 13, Paragraph 1, Item 4 (b) of the Act is applicable does not seem to apply. Although it overlaps, JA Kochi Prefecture is a registered producer group of Yuzu Monobe. Yuzu specializing in fruits and vegetables with few scratches and beautiful appearance. Yuzu for fruits and vegetables has a national average fruit and vegetable rate of 18% because it takes time to manage cultivation, but Yuzu Monobe seems to be remarkably high at 69% (2017). It is highly evaluated for its long-term stable supply from the trading market, thorough selection of fruits, and good shelf life. Kami City, Kochi Prefecture, where it is produced, has an average annual temperature of about 15 ° C and a lot of rainfall, but there are many well-drained gardens, and it seems that it is the number one producer of fruit and vegetable yuzu in Japan. Yuzu Monobe, which boasts the largest production area in Japan and represents Kochi, has a special taste and aroma, but it also has a great appeal. Yuzu, whose freshness is said to be life-threatening, deteriorates in a week or two at the earliest, but it seems that Yuzu Monobe will last for nearly a month depending on the storage method. The secret is that it is important to determine the harvest time. Producers check the fields every day and hear that they will harvest the yuzu, which is the right time to harvest, in the shortest possible time. It seems that only the products that have been scrutinized by removing scratches and discolored individuals through stricter sorting work are shipped to the market as the Yuzu of the Mononobe. Kami City, Kochi Prefecture : It was merged with Tosayamada Town and Kahoku Town and Monobe Village to form Kami City on March 1, 2006. It extends from the commuter town area of Kochi City to the mountainous area with abundant nature. It is a town with a vast area of 538 km2. Famous spots for fresh greenery and autumn leaves “Befukyo” and “Nishikuma Gorge”, “Mt. Miune”. Kami City Mr. Yanase Takashi Memorial Hall Anpanman Museum and Poem & Märchen Gallery, Nationally designated natural monuments and historic sites such as “Ryugado Cave.” Many tourists come to the tourist spots from outside the prefecture. Tosa forged cutlery and fluff of historic traditional industry. Taking advantage of the blessings of nature-New varieties of yakko green onion, leek, ginger, oba, peach (Karikari-Momoko) : Production of shiitake mushrooms and Yuzu ball, which has the largest shipment volume in Japan, is also active. Kochi University of Technology in the city : Collaborate with local industry and local communities-Mutual cooperation and exchange between industry, academia and government : Expected to revitalize new industries along with Kochi Techno Park. “Tosa Pomelo”, Hoga, Kajiki Town, Former Aira District（Present : Aira City）, Kagoshima Prefecture : It originated from an old tree that was there. It is considered to be the same variety or group as Citrus Otachibana of Experiment Station. Hoga Pomelo label on Kochi Fruit Tree Experiment Station-Asakura, Kochi City opened in 1929. This is a raw tree sapling.Kochi Prefecture accounts for more than 90% of the national total, of which Tosa City accounts for about half. Expected to be harvested from trees and stored and ripened before shipping in December and January. When grown late, the sugar content increases. It tends to be easily damaged by the cold and does not have a unique flavor. In the case of overwintering on a tree, it is in a ‘granulation’ state due to the cold. Therefore, it is stored and shipped in the ‘field burial.’ The fruit is astonishingly large and has a warm color like the sun. In addition, the unique refreshing scent that floats in the air is pleasant. Monobe Village, Kami County, Kochi Prefecture, is said to have originated before the Heian period in Monobe Village, which is located in the northeastern part of the prefecture, and it seems that the descendants of Heike no Ochudo prospered as a powerful family in this region. After being ruled by Chosokabe (originally from the township of Chosokabe, Nagaoka District, Tosa Province) during the Warring States period, Yamauchi’s feudal era continued from 1600, and Kaminiro Village and Makiyama Village continued from the beginning of the Meiji era. Two villages were born. These two villages merged in 1956 to become Monobe Village. The entire Monobe Village is Okumonobe Prefectural Park, and the mountain valley area at the northeastern end is Tsurugisan Quasi-National Park. In addition, “Izanagi style prayer” was designated as an important intangible folk cultural property of the country in 1980. Izanagi style (folk religion including old elements that has been preserved and passed down in the old Monobe village. It seems that it was established by mixing onmyodo, Shugendo, Buddhism, Shinto, etc. “Izanagi” is It is derived from “Izanagi-sama (Okami)” that appears in the “Izanagi Festival” that tells the origin of the Izanagi style.It is said that he learned prayer methods such as doll prayer and bow prayer from “Izanagi Okami” and passed them on to Japan in search of prayer (magic). Instead, “chief actor in a No play” acquires and manages various knowledge, and it seems that it is not a hereditary succession, but the one who wants to become a disciple of the mentor and teaches it. It seems that it will take 10 years to get permission, which is a proof of being a full-fledged tayu. Chief actor in a No play is usually engaged in forestry and agriculture like other residents, and there is a request It seems that he will go out. There seem to be four roles: patron god, “God festival” of the house, “Prayer for the sick” to cure illness, “Prayer” to hit the bow and make a dedication (fortune-telling), mountain god and water god. There seems to be a “quiet” that soothes and prevents natural disasters.): A folk religion that has been passed down to the former Monobe Village, Kami District, Kochi Prefecture. It is said that Onmyodo, Shugendo, Buddhism, Shinto, etc. were established in a mixed manner, and the transmission of the secrets of an art, by religious people called Chief actors in a No play, who live in this area. It seems that it is handed down in the form of craft, trade or learning from mentor to only one child. In the Izanagi style, there are no permanent deities or Buddhist statues that can be worshiped at any time, and when it comes to rituals, Japanese paper is cut to make money and worshiped as a deity statue. It seems that there are more than 200 types of staff with plaited paper streamers. The Jitsugetsu Festival is an Izanagi-style festival, and it seems that the most grand ritual currently held is the Jitsugetsu Festival. It is held at the festival of the god of the house and the Shinto god festival of the shrine, but it seems that these festivals will be a big festival that takes about a week because all the gods of other houses, Shinto god, must be enshrined. Anyone can participate in the festival, which is the climax of the festival, and various dances are performed, which seems to be a pleasure for the villagers. There are three types of festivals, crescent moon, seventeen nights, and twenty-three nights, and which god is to be enshrined is decided by the house or shrine. It seems. Recently, it seems that it was held at Junisho Shrine in Ichiu cluster, Monobe Village from March 1st to 4th, 1999. The old Monobe village is located in the innermost part of Tosa, the valley is deep and the mountains are steep, but on the contrary, it was the closest village to other countries if it crossed the difficult pass. Junshin (childhood name: Kaname), sung in the folk song “Yosakoi-bushi” in Kochi Prefecture, was born in 1819 in Nonomura, Toba Township City, Takaoka District, Tosa Province, as the eldest son of five siblings of the Sagawa family. He taught at Terakoya under the patronage of Kameyoshi Kawamura of Noe Korikawa (currently Shikoku Chuo City), and left the area after Kamekichi’s death. I lived under the name of Yokichi Nakata, later married, had one son and one daughter, and died in 1888 at the age of 69.), Ouma (born in 1839 as the daughter of a tinkering shop in Godaiyama Village. This is Godaiyama Chikurinji Temple, which is the 31st bill of Shikoku Pilgrimage. Junshin, who was the chief priest of this temple, fell in love with Ouma, who was 20 years younger, and ran down in 1855. However, when they escaped to Kotohira in Sanuki, they were caught and returned to Tosa, and after being exposed and sentenced, Junshin was banished abroad and Ouma was banished to Aki.) It is said that it was a mountain road leading from the Sasa Valley of Monobe Village to Higashi Iyayama Village. Many Heike legends have also been handed down. At the foot of Mt. Recently, it seems that a large stone that is said to be the tomb of Emperor Antoku was discovered, but it seems that it is not as clear as the truth. “Nishikuma Saorigahara”, one of the remaining primeval forests in the village, seems to be the world of “Princess Mononoke（A blockbuster work that was released in 1997 and recorded box office revenue of 19.3 billion yen, breaking the record of box office revenue in Japan at that time.）”. Among the huge trees that are hundreds of years old, it was selected as one of the “100 Forest Giants” by the Forestry Agency. It seems that there are also trees. At this time, two trees, Prunus buergeriana and Aesculus turbinata, were selected, but the reason for the selection is not only that the trees are large, but also that the surrounding environment and vegetation are abundant and valuable. It seems that it has been evaluated.
