  • The Yamanashi Grapevine
    The Yamanashi Grapevine July 2003 Editor’s note Before summer’s heat saps all our energy, we went to visit two cities in Yamanashi. The first, Fujiyoshida, is probably the most famous place in Yamanashi as it is the point from where most Mount Fuji climbers start their long journey to the top. The second, Nirasaki, may not be as well renowned, but it might be known to some football (or should I say “soccer”?!) fans as the home of the high school where current Parma player Hidetoshi Nakata’s talent was discovered. On page 8, Geoff Wigan, an Assistant Language Teacher on the Table of Contents JET programme, takes us on a philosophical journey through his first year in p.2 Nirasaki City Yamanashi. p.4 Fujiyoshida City This edition holds a special meaning to me as it marks my last contribution to the P.6 News Spotlight Grapevine.

COVID-19 is the new respiratory disease spreading around the world and it is caused by a coronavirus. COVID-19 is short for Coronavirus Disease 2019. The 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) often referred to as COVID-19 or more simply, the coronavirus is a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) that was newley identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. Since the first cases were reported, the outbreak has rapidly spread through China and many locations worldwide. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause illness in both humans and animals. The illnesses brought about from the coronavirus have ranged from the common cold (ex. Respiratory syndrome, fever, cough, etc.) to more severe sicknesses such as pneumonia and severe acute respiratory syndrome . PLEASE NOTE: The virus that causes COVID-19 and the one that caused the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 are related to each other genetically, but the diseases they cause are quite different. SARS was more deadly but much less infectious than COVID-19, the SARS that may be caused by the coronavirus is a different strain of this so please keep this in mind.

Location, History & Geography: • There are three cities that surround Mount Fuji: Gotemba, Fujiyoshida and Fujinomiya. • There are five lakes around Mount Fuji: Lake Kawaguchi, Lake Motosu, Lake Sai, Lake Yamanaka and Lake Shoji. • Mount Fuji is an active composite volcano that last erupted in 1707. It has been classified as being at ‘low risk’ of erupting again, despite recent nearby earthquakes which often signal that an eruption is imminent. • Mount Fuji is 100km southwest of Japan’s capital, Tokyo, and can be seen from the city on a clear day. • Mount Fuji has been classified as a Special Place of Scenic Beauty because of how symmetrical the mountain looks. • Mount Fuji is also on the UNESCO World Heritage List. • The summit of Mount Fuji has always been regarded as sacred. • The first person to climb Mount Fuji was a Buddhist monk in 663 AD.

Among these changes lie biophysical constraints, which limit land use and land cover opportunities. Little has been studied about how these global patterns impact volcanic landscapes, where steep slopes and soils with low water retention limit land use capabilities. This thesis documents land cover change on Mt. Fuji by quantifying and analyzing land cover change over the past century in between four different time periods: 1898, the 1930’s, the 1950’s and 1992. Land cover data were obtained by digitizing historic land cover maps of Fuji. These land cover mosaics were intersected with a digital map of the bedrock geology of Mt. Fuji to explore how geology has influenced observed land cover changes. Croplands are concentrated in the few areas with water retention capabilities, and forests and grasslands dominate areas with low soil fertility and soil permeability.
