【主な特徴】
Second generation Horyu Goseda was born on August 7, 1864 in Shimousa Country (currently Bando City, Ibaraki Prefecture) as the sixth son of a carpenter. His real name is Nenokichi KURAMOCHI, and he has loved drawing since he was a kid, and he often used to sketch all day long. In 1878, he moved to Tokyo and entered the art school held by Yoshimatsu Goseda, the second son of the first Horyu Goseda. He also studied under Antonio Fontanesi, who was a foreign hired teacher at the Technical Fine Arts School. In 1880, at the age of 15, he married Tome, the second daughter of the first Goseda Horyu, and became a son-in-law. From 1881, his teacher, Yoshimatsu, was a painter who had studied for many years, and began to receive painting instruction from the cartoonist Charles Wirgman. He also seems to have learned oil painting and perspective from the teachers San Giovanni and Cappelletti of the Technical Fine Arts School, although he is not officially enrolled. In 1884, he went to Niigata Prefectural Niigata School with his first generation and worked as a drawing teacher for about a year. After he quit his teacher and returned home, he inherited the Horyu issue, and from that point on, he seems to have begun to call himself Nisei Horyu. By this time he was only 20 years old, but he had already painted watercolors, and he seems to have become a leading figure on the road. In 1889, he helped launch the Meiji Fine Arts Society and became a founding member. He exhibited two works at the 3rd Exposition of 1890 and received a reward. Due to the influence of his first Horyu, he seems to have begun to make panoramic paintings and dioramas, in which landscape paintings are drawn on the circular wall and people stand in the center. He also exhibited his work at the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris and received a reward. In 1901, he visited Beijing and Tianjin to create panoramic pictures of the North Qing incident. In 1902, he formed a Bakai with Kiyoo KAWAMURA and Hakudo ISHIHARA. At the Japan-British Exhibition in 1910, he went all the way to England to create a diorama of “A map of the transformation of customs from ancient Japan to the present day” and received an honorary certificate. In 1917, he was commissioned by the Meiji Jingu Honoring Society to create 80 mural sketches of the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery, which are historically based on the subject matter. He is also a special employee of the Japanese Red Cross Society, and has exhibited the “Great Kanto Earthquake Red Cross Relief Activity Diagram” at the 1926 Philadelphia Expo. In 1931, he retired after holding a solo exhibition of 350 works at the Art Association in Ueno Park. At this time, he returned the Horyu issue in front of his predecessor. He passed away on January 9, 1943 in Totsuka, Yodobashi Ward, Tokyo (currently Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo). He was a big mess at the time of his 80th birthday. Former Sashima Town, Sashima District, On April 1, 1889, Kutsukake Village, Sashima District, Oigosuge Village, and Sakasaiyama Village were established due to the enforcement of the town and village system. March 20, 1954 Kutsukake Village enforces the town system and becomes Kutsukake Town. February 1, 1955 Oigosuge Village and Sakasaiyama Village merge to form Tomisato Village. On April 1, 1956, Kutsukake Town and Tomisato Village merged to form Tomisato Town, which was renamed to Sashima Town on the same day. In 1957, Sashima Town incorporated a part of Oaza Kuriyama Shinden, a part of Saheita Shinden, and a part of Magobei Shinden in Ishige Town, Yuki District, and Section of village Kuriyama Shinden, Saheita Shinden, Magobei Shinden. Installed. On March 22, 2005, it merged with Iwai City and became Bando City. On the same day, Sashima Town, Sashima District was abolished. A town in Sashima District, western Ibaraki prefecture. It borders the north of Iwai City, and the plateau occupies most of the town area. Tea and leaf tobacco have been cultivated for a long time, and it has been known as a special production area for Sarushima tea. The Mefuki Ohashi Bridge was built on the Tone River in 1958, and the Sakai Ohashi Bridge was built in 1964, improving transportation to and from Tokyo, increasing production of vegetables such as tomatoes and watermelons instead of leaf tobacco. Livestock such as poultry farming is also carried out, and tea is also cultivated, but the number of farmers and yields have decreased. Tea in the former Sashima Town has been cultivated for a long time, and its existence has been recognized so that it is known as “Sashima Green Tea” in the Kanto area. I hear that the reason why cultivation has been continued as a traditional industry for a long time is because it was a planted tree that suits the climate of the region. The plateau in the Sarushima region is covered with gentle undulations, and the surface is covered with the Kanto Loam Formation, where old volcanic ash is deposited. When it rains, this sediment becomes muddy, and when it dries, it soars in the wind and covers the sky. It is said that the beginning of tea cultivation was to plant tea trees as windbreak fences around the fields to prevent wind erosion of the soil in such light cultivated land. The loam layer is acidic soil, but the tea plant is a plant with strong acid resistance, and it was a planting tree suitable for this region. In addition, volcanic ash soil has the property that tea buds grow more easily than other soils. In this way, tea is a plant that suits the land, and it seems that it was also a cash crop that earned attractive cash income for farmers. It is well known that farmers earn only a small amount of income from the autumn harvest after the New Year, and only the income from green tea is relied on until the harvest of large wheat. Even if you see that the income from tea was called “green tea money,” you can see how valuable cash income was to help households. The income of tea, which is called tea money, is that women and children pick tea leaves and cash them on the same day, and pick tea from the ridges and tea gardens around the mansion and inland fields. It seems that there was a way to make fir sencha and exchange it for cash. The income earned from tea money was used as fertilizer for spring crops, and it was also an opportunity for children to earn pocket money once a year. Children pick new tea trees and pick the remaining “futoxtukoro leaves” that adults have cut with scissors, laying a sack or a Nanjing bag underneath, and picking even a small amount by themselves. He took it to a tea factory and exchanged it for cash. The tea industry in the former Sashima town has supported the local economy as a special product along with tobacco. It is mentioned that the specialty product “Sashima Green Tea; Original Green Tea” in the southwestern part of Ibaraki Prefecture was the first brand to be sold as “Japanese Green Tea” in the United States at the end of the Edo period. It seems that Motonari NAKAYAMA, a wealthy farmer from the current Bando city, was aggressively selling ahead of other production areas. Known as Denemon, No. Ranka, Chaten. Born in a wealthy farmer’s house in Heta Village, Sashima District, Shimousa Province (Bando City, Ibaraki Prefecture). He strives to improve and popularize Sarushima tea. In 1852, when the Sekiyado Domain established Sashima Urisabakisho in Edo, he became responsible for it, and succeeded in expanding exports of Sashima tea after the opening of Yokohama Port. In 1869, he worked as a temporary clerk of the Tokyo Prefecture Bussan Bureau, and later worked to promote the tea industry as a recruitment section of Inba and Ibaraki prefectures. At the beginning of cultivation, which is said to have started around the 1382s, the quality was inferior to that of other areas because it was carried out using a technique called the “sun-drying method”. It has grown into a popular tea in the city. Since then, Japanese tea has grown into a major export product along with raw silk, and the report describes “NAKAYAMA as a pioneer in the tea trade.” At that time, Bando City and Sakai Town were the territories of the Sekiyado Domain, and it is clear that the cultivation of Sashima Tea was already flourishing. “Bando City”, Located in the southwestern part of Ibaraki prefecture. It was born on March 22, 2005 by the merger of Iwai city and Sahima town. It borders Noda City, Chiba Prefecture across the Tone River（This is the Tonegawa, also known as Bandotaro. The River Tone meanders [winds its way] through the plains of Kanto）.

Forefront base for Go-Hojo Family’s expansion into North Kanto: Restoration while utilizing the remains of Sakasai Castle. It is popular as a historical park. Prefectural designated cultural property : 逆井城跡, 昭和60年3月25日指定, 逆井. The castle that remains today is a remains that made full use of the castle construction technique of the end of the Warring States period. He pursued prosperity with Nobunaga’s Azuchi Castle and Go-Hojo Family. In 1590, the castle was abandoned due to Hideyoshi’s conquest of Odawara. And now, more than 400 years later, the moat and earthworks as they were at that time are utilized. “Green pepper” : Among the peppers, it is a variety of sweet peppers whose fruits have no pungent taste. Based on the varieties called Spanish varieties introduced from the United States in the Meiji era, many varieties suitable for the tastes and tastes of Japanese people have been produced to date, and they have spread rapidly after World War II. The fruit is large, oval 5-7 cm long and 4 cm wide, with several flutes, the flesh is about 5 mm thick, and the inside of the fruit is hollow. There are many white oblate seeds. The flesh is soft, fragrant and tastes good. There are large fruit varieties such as California Wonder and slightly long and small varieties, but it can be imagined that large fruit varieties are widespread. It is also cultivated in greenhouses and greenhouses in winter and is supplied all year round. Miyazaki, Ibaraki, and Kochi prefectures are widely known as the main production areas. Organic fertilizers are used during cultivation, and natural enemy insects that eat pests are introduced without relying on chemical pesticides. Furthermore, we have confirmed that there are many environmentally friendly producers, such as adopting a “hydroponic soil cultivation system” that provides fertilizer and water as much as necessary.
A variety of sweet andchili peppers that have no pungent fruit. Based on the varieties called Ispania varieties introduced from the United States in the Meiji era, many varieties that suit the tastes of the Japanese have been produced to date, and have rapidly become widespread after World War II. The fruits are large, 5-7 cm long and 4 cm wide, oval, with several flutes, the flesh is about 5 mm thick, and the inside of the fruit is hollow. There are many white oblate seeds. The flesh is soft, fragrant and tastes good. There are varieties of large fruits such as California wonder peppers and slightly long and small ones, but it seems that large fruits are widespread. In addition, the agriculture of Bando City takes advantage of the regional characteristics of being close to the vast agricultural land and the large consumption area of Tokyo, and various agriculture such as paddy rice and livestock are carried out centering on vegetables, and the supply of fresh food to the metropolitan area. It plays an important role in preserving the beautiful rural environment.
Ibaraki Prefecture is the second largest agricultural prefecture in Japan with the largest cultivated area and the largest agricultural population in Japan. The production of bell peppers is the highest in Japan. The Rokko area from Kamisu City to Kashima City, which accounts for more than 90% of the prefecture’s production, is a sand dune area in the southern part of the prefecture facing the Pacific Ocean, with good drainage and a warm climate. Because it is cultivated in a greenhouse, it can be shipped all year round, the only one in Japan. Origin From the French word “Pepper” Historical background Peppers spread in Japan after the Pacific War. It seems that the cultivation of a variety called California Wonder Peppers, which was ordered by the US military from 1948 to 1949 in Hasaki, Kamisu City, which is currently a special production area, and was supplied with seeds, seems to have started. Even farmers whose cultivated area became narrow due to the acquisition of land accompanying the Kashima coastal industrial area from around 1965 tried to shift to facility horticulture so that stable management could be achieved, but it seems that the representative agricultural product was peppers.
It was common to harvest in the green immature state, but in recent years it has become possible to colorize and harvest in the fully ripe state. It is known that the odor of bell peppers disappears in ripe fruits and carotene increases compared to unripe fruits, so it is used not only for cooking but also for salads. It is a plant belonging to the genus Capsicum of the Solanaceae family and is actually a member of the chili pepper. First of all, according to the history of chili peppers, it seems that the place of origin is believed to have been cultivated in Central and South America since about 5000 BC. It seems that Columbus took it back to Spain and spread it to Europe.
