This road was the only road between Shonai and the inland area. It was a precipitous mountain road from Tsuruoka city to Yamagata city passing over Matsune, Juo-toge, Oami, Sainokami-toge, Tamugimata and Oguki-toge, then going through Shizu, Hondoji and Sagae. It is said to have existed already in ancient times, but it is not clear when this road was opened. The oldest theory says that this road was opened as a governmental road connecting the Dewa Kokufu government which was located in Fujishima town (now Tsuruoka city) and the county offices of the Mogami and Okitama areas. But there are many other theories as well. In the Muromachi and Edo periods, which were a time of prosperity for mountain worship, it became a lively road with pilgrims not only from the local area,but also from the Tohoku Part of a list of famous places in Shonai second district during the latter half of the Edo period. and Kanto areas heading to Mt.

  • 33. Zaozan (Zaosan))
    (33. Zaozan (Zaosan)) 33. Zaozan (Zaosan) Continuously Monitored by JMA Latitude: 38°08'37" N, Longitude: 140°26'24" E, Elevation: 1,841 m (Kumanodake) (GSI Measuring Point) Overview of Zaozan (Zaosan). Taken from Zao Town on November 27, 2011 by the Japan Meteorological Agency. Summary Zaozan (Zaosan) is a basalt-andesite stratovolcano group, of which volcanic activity started with subaqueous eruption of the basaltic magma approximately 1 million to 700 thousand years ago. It was dormant for roughly 300,000 years, and then approximately 400,000 to 100,000 years ago many andesitic lava flows were discharged from multiple eruption centers, forming the peaks which make up the upper half of the volcanic edifice, such as Kumanodake (the highest peak) and Kattadake, forming the basic structure of the volcano. Approximately 30,000 years ago a caldera roughly 2 km in diameter was formed at the summit. At the same time, explosive activity involving basaltic andesite magma began, continuing intermittently even until today. Goshikidake is a post-caldera pyroclastic cone (or tuff cone) which formed within the caldera above. It has been active since approximately 2,000 years ago, and is the site of Okama crater lake (360 m in diameter, also known as Goshikinuma). Many records exist of eruptions at Okama within history. The eruptions which caused damage occurred at both inside and outside of Okama. Many of these eruptions were accompanied by lahars. Fumaroles are located in several areas, such as the new fumaroles to the northeast of Okama. The SiO2 content is between 51.3 and 64.1 wt %.

  • A New Skull of an Early Diverging Rorqual (Balaenopteridae, Mysticeti, Cetacea) from the Late Miocene to Early Pliocene of Yamagata, Northeastern Japan
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org A new skull of an early diverging rorqual (Balaenopteridae, Mysticeti, Cetacea) from the late Miocene to early Pliocene of Yamagata, northeastern Japan Yoshihiro Tanaka, Kazuo Nagasawa, and Yojiro Taketani ABSTRACT The family of rorquals and humpback whales, Balaenopteridae includes the larg- est living animal on Earth, the blue whale Balaenoptera musculus. Many new taxa have been named, but not many from the western Pacific, except Miobalaenoptera numataensis from Japan. Here we describe an early balaenopterid, cf. M. numataensis from a late Miocene to early Pliocene sediment in Yamagata Prefecture, northeastern Japan. The species has a straight and sharp lateral ridge of the fovea epitubaria at the ventral surface of the periotic, and a dorsoventrally thin pars cochlearis. The new spec- imen provides knowledge of supposed ontogenetic variation and periotic morphology in poorly known fossil balaenopterids. Yoshihiro Tanaka.

An empirical analysis based on panel data from Japan’s Census of Manufactures FUKAO Kyoji (Hitotsubashi University, RIETI) IKEUCHI Kenta (NISTEP) KIM YoungGak (Senshu University) KWON Hyeog Ug (Nihon University, RIETI) Abstract Using a Melitz-style model of heterogeneous firms, Baldwin and Okubo (2006) recently presented a theoretical model in which self-sorting occurs and more productive factories choose to locate in more productive areas. The model suggests that firm-specific factors and regional factors affect each other through the endogeneity of location decisions. However, to date there have been few studies empirically testing this issue. Against this background, our aim is to examine the relationship between firms and location-specific factors in location decisions using factory-level panel data from Japan’s Census of Manufactures. We begin by estimating how much of the differences in factories’ TFP levels can be explained by both firm and location effects. The estimation results show that both effects have a significant impact on the productivity level of a factory, and that the firm effects are more important than the location effects. We also find a statistically significant negative correlation between firm effects and location effects, and investigate what causes this relationship.

As a result of frequent changes of identification especially between T. japonica forma formosa and T. musashiensis, the range of each taxon has been drastically updated. The hybrid was recorded in 32 prefectures in total, including newly added 25 prefectures. Key words : distribution, hybrid, spore, Thelypteris. The Thelypteris japonica complex (Thelypteri- in terms of geographical coverage. The most reli- daceae) is common understory ferns ranging able distinguishing character for the species of throughout Japan except in the Ryukyu Islands. the complex is spore morphology as demon- Japanese members of the complex were recir- strated by Nakato et al. (2004) (Fig. 2), and cumscribed by Nakato et al. (2004) based on therefore sterile specimens and/or specimens cytological and morphological characters, and with only immature spores are difficult to iden- two species, one forma and one interspecific tify. hybrid are presently accepted (Fig. 1).
