It is widely known as a town that retains the beautiful thickets of Musashino and the well-organized fields. The town area is occupied by a plateau with thick volcanic ash called the Kanto Loam Formation, and although some small rivers such as the Yanase River flow in the eastern part of the town, it seems that most of the land was flat and poor in water. However, the ancestors who lived in Miyoshi have spent many years building the present town with wisdom and ingenuity, and supporting human power. It seems that there were many ancient burial mounds such as Hatsukazuka (Kasumigaseki-higashi) and Ushizuka in the narrow area around Miyoshino mound in Matoba, Kawagoe city. Miyoshino zuka and Hatsukazuka are in Rikuda, and Ushizuka is in Hatanaka. At that time, it seems that they thought of this area as “Miyoshino no Village”. According to the Saitama Prefectural Vegetation Map (establishment of the Environmental Agency in 1971 and the establishment of the Nature Conservation Act in 1972), which was investigated in 1970 before being converted into a residential land, this one is a field. Yes, it seems that it has not changed from the description in “New Musashi Fudoki Manuscript”, but now it has been converted into a residential land and there seems to be no recollection. Paddy fields are widespread in Kasahata, Naho district, and Miyoshi district even if you look at the vegetation map of Saitama prefecture, but this is still the same scenery. Miyoshi Town, Iruma District, Saitama Prefecture: It is located in the southeastern part of the Musashino Plateau, in the southern part of Saitama Prefecture Iruma District. The altitude is around 37.5m and the area is 15.33 km2. The shape extends 6.9 km east-west and 4.2 km north-south, and has a gentle downward slope from west to east. It has a generally flat plateau covered with the Kanto loam layer（Its characteristics vary greatly depending on the region, but it is generally cohesive soil. Loam layer: It is a stratum consisting of volcanic ash accumulated during the period when volcanic activity was active about 130,000 to 20,000 years ago, and has been confirmed to be distributed nationwide. Paleolithic era about 30,000 years ago: It is revealed by stone tools excavated from “fujikubo-east ruins and Fujikubo-east second ruins”（三芳町立歴史民俗資料館 1991,『藤久保東第三遺跡, 第2地点, 発掘調査報告書）. From the “Matano Ruins”, you can see the remains of pit dwellings and pottery from the Jomon period. From the “Moto Village-South Ruins” in Chikumazawa, a square tomb from the Yayoi period was excavated. That is “Akebono” in Miyoshi Town. In the Heian period, a kiln was built around “Miyoshidai” to burn roof tiles and jars. Some of the vessels baked here are engraved with “Fukumaro”. The letter of the oldest in the town is considered to be an influential person at that time, and the fact is by all means the oldest in the town. Musashino from the Kamakura period（Many relics of Samurai’s Amida faith, Itaishitoba, were discovered, such as “Baba”, “Matoba)”, and “Yagura”）to the Muromachi and Sengoku periods is a wilderness as far as the eye can see. It seems that there were “Kumakura-Kaido load” in Fujikubo and Chikumazawa, which are said to have been run by samurai Kumakura. Chikumazawa is said to have cultural assets and place names reminiscent of the Middle Ages, so I would like to visit it once. Miyoshi area: It was not fully developed in the Edo period, and the Musashino Plateau has been developed since Ieyasu Tokugawa entered the Kanto region. Genroku 7) In 1694, “Santome-Development of newly reclaimed rice field（Saitama Prefecture designated historic site. Land inspection was conducted in May 1696（Genroku 9）, two years after the development began.It is said that a total of 180 new villages, including 91 Kamitome, 40 Nakatome, and 49 Shimotome, have been completed. I hear that the origin of “wealth（Tome）” is based on the teaching of Confucius（Confucianism）in ancient China to “become a rich village. “Land allocation is the foundation of our predecessors, packed with wisdom to overcome the harsh natural conditions of poor water and low nutrition. Musashino’s Fallen leaves composting method: Japanese agricultural heritage. Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS)-aim）” was carried out by Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa（The great father is Yasutada. Mr. Kaiichiro. It is believed that Yoshiyasu YANAGISAWA’s concubine, Someko IIZUKA, was given to him by 5th generation Tsunayoshi. Immediately after Ienobu assumed the position of shogun, Hakuseki ARAI abolished the order Shorui Awareminorei and dismissed the sobayonin Yoshiyasu YANAGISAWA）, the lord of Kawagoe. Then, the old four villages of Miyoshi were established. The town and village system came into effect on April 1, 1889: Born as a merger of Uetomi Village, Kitanagai Village, Fujikubo Village, and Takemazawa Village. It has been a purely rural area for a long time. It is widely known as a town that retains the beautiful thickets of Musashino and the well-organized fields. Its characteristics seem to differ depending on the composition of volcanic ash. The formation age is classified as Pleistocene, and it consists of a very old and stable stratum. In the old days when volcanic ash was deposited, about 130,000 to 60,000 years ago, volcanic ash was deposited on a marshland with a relatively high sea level. After confirmation, the formed layer is referred to as the Joso clay layer. As much water freezes during the Ice age, the sea level drops sharply, and this condition continued until about 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. Nevertheless, volcanic ash fell and accumulated on land, which is the origin of the Kanto loam layer. The soil grains are fine and contain clay minerals, which, when placed in a sedimentary environment for long periods of time, chemically combine to create a unique character. Similarly, in the loam layer, special bonds are created between the particles, and the ground is moderately solidified.）. Shiki City and Fujimi City in the east, and Niiza City in the southeast. Adjacent to Tokorozawa City in the southwest and Fujimino City, Kawagoe City in the north. Belonging to the Pacific coast climate zone, winter tends to have strong northwest monsoons and low humidity and sunny days. Late frosts from April to May can cause damage to crops, and farmers and governments are calling for measures. Summer is quite hot and humid, often with thunderstorms, with an average annual temperature of 14.3 ° C and rainfall of about 1500 mm. “Promotion of primary producer’s diversification into processing and distribution (sixth sector industrialization) ” : 6次産業プラス支援事業, Research and development of processed products, considering the agriculture of Town as a local resource. Efforts to add other industry elements such as urban exchange, tourism, education, and the Nature environment to agriculture. By proactively increasing the added value of agriculture and agricultural products, we will revitalize agriculture and the region, such as developing new businesses. Learn from dreams and areas you admire. To achieve this, we must demonstrate that the structural reforms will lead to the creation of a society full of vitality and based on relationships of trust where individuals work hard（discipline）to compete with each other, while also supporting each other through family or community ties which Japanese people have traditionally held dear, rather than a society where the weak are victims of the strong. “Miyoshi Town Kawagoe Promotion Group; Santome-shinden”, Established in 1992. Miyoshi Town Kamitome (formerly Kawagoe Clan Kamitome Village) that conveys the image of Musashino to the present: Japan Agricultural heritage certification（March 2017）- Fallen leaves Compost farming method（Flatland forest that has continued since the Edo period）: Organized by 29 farms cultivated by traditional farming methods. From many years of efforts to protect the culture, community contributions, and mutual efforts of members. 54th Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Festival / Murazukuri section – Won the Emperor’s Cup in. It is lovingly cultivated “Tome’s Kawagoe Sweet Potato”. Among them, “Beniaka sweet potato” is called “Sweet potato queen.” Among them, “Beniaka sweet potato” is called “Sweet potato queen.” Fluffy food feeling and old-fashioned elegant sweetness. However, its cultivation is difficult, and only Miyoshi Town is currently being produced in large numbers. Therefore, it is also called “Phantom Sweet Potato. The classic “Beniazuma sweet potato”, the sweet “Beniharuka sweet potato”, and the “Silk Sweet sweet potato”. As you can see, there are various types, and the variations are fun. It was after the war that Western “carrots” became the mainstream. Westernization of the dietary life: Cultivation period is shorter and farming is easier than Eastern species. I hear that most of the carrots currently cultivated are Western species. Currently, “six inches” is the mainstream. The “japanese red kintoki carrot” variety is distributed in Eastern species. Recently, there are many cases where the odor peculiar to carrots is small. I miss that unique scent, but this is the modern trend. Cooking, but cooking with fats and oils increases the absorption rate of carotene. Partial excerpt from THE TALES OF ISE (Tuttle classics): Once upon a time, a man walked to Musashi no Kuni without knowing the destination or the road. And I proposed to a woman who lives in Musashi no Kuni. The woman’s father said she wanted to marry another man who was different from this man, but her mother was willing to be obsessed with her noble man. Because her father was a normal person, not an aristocrat, and her mother was Mr. Fujiwara (of the aristocratic lineage of the city). So her mother wanted to meet a noble man. It was the following song that I wrote to this son-in-law. The place where this woman lives was MIYOSHINO’s village in Iruma District. The goose descending on the surface of the rice field of MIYOSHINO also screams to one side when pulling the pull plate of naruko (musical instrument), and like that, my daughter who lives in this country also It seems that he is earnestly devoting himself to you. On the other hand, the prospective son-in-law who walked from this city to Musashi confusedly said that she would be kind to me, the young lady who was relying on me at MIYOSHINO’s village. When should I forget it? She will never forget.
Delicious, high-quality vegetables grown in the land of Miyoshi. With the wisdom of our ancestors, soil making using fallen leaf compost and vegetables made with the same affection as raising children are safe and secure. Miyoshi-cho, Iruma-gun is designated as a designated vegetable production area and plays an important role as a carrot production area. JA fruit sorting is done manually in 8 stages, and it seems possible to propose products according to the application. It seems that they are also shipping beta carrots, which are characterized by their sweetness and red color. It is shipped from early summer and autumn to winter.
On the first floor of the Miyoshi Town Hall, the collaborative town development network “Industrial Tourism Group” provides fresh, high-quality, safe and secure “Miyoshi vegetables” to as many people as possible as a bridge between producers and consumers. From 9:45 every Wednesday, the store closes as soon as it is sold out, but it seems that they are selling directly. The Miyoshikko Vegetable Market is held on the 4th Saturday of every month. The place is Fujikubo Public Hall Mirai Square, and it is sold from 10 am until sold out.
Since the 1965s, it has transformed into a commuter town near the capital and a distribution base in the metropolitan area with high economic growth, and the population has increased rapidly. The agriculture that supports the foundation of the town is still active in the production of vegetables such as carrots, burdock, and spinach, and sweet potatoes are known as “Kawagoe Sweet Potato of Tome.” In Kamitome, Miyoshi Town, which retains the remnants of Musashino, it is lovingly cultivated by the “fallen leaf compost farming method” inherited from the Edo period, which was certified as a Japanese agricultural heritage in March 2017.
