Map of Regions and Prefectures in Japan Here is a map that shows the locations of regions in Japan so you can have an idea where your adopted prefecture is. Map of Regions (and 47 Prefectures) in Japan Hokkaido Region Tohoku Region Chubu Region Chugoku Region Tokyo Kanto Region Kansai Region Shikoku Region Kyushu Region Okinawa Region Japan’s 9 regions/47 prefectures contain around 3500 communities (cities, towns, villages), 1514 of which are unchurched rural areas (URAs) of 3000 to 50,000 in population. An unchurched area is a community within that population range that lacks even a single church within it. 3 General Prayer Items for Unchurched Rural Areas (for groups w/ extra time): Praise Report—Answers to Prayer: a) The follow progress has occurred in the Rural Japan Church Planting Network (RJCPN) development: a) bilingual vision/mission statement; b) first of 3 articles in Japan Harvest; c) database and maps developed of most unchurched areas remaining in Japan; d) Launch, special meetings, and elective being planned for CPI in Nov.; e) website development well underway. b) Most of the 47 prefecture’s URAs have been adopted for prayer by a group in the U.S., Canada, Australia, China, or Africa. However, some groups are still not yet adopted. c) Volunteers in or from the US, Britain, Canada, and Kagawa, Chiba, Kyoto, and Nagasaki Japan are helping via database technical support, website design, research assistance, website support, writing, and translation. Please pray for: a) Ongoing RJCPN network development, including further research, mobilization of volunteers, establishing prayer groups in Japan, 2 more Japan Harvest articles, website development, networking, and formal launch of the network in November. b) Greater awareness in Japan and worldwide of the need for the gospel in rural Japan. c) Harvest workers—that more prospective missionaries, on field missionaries, agencies, foreign/Japanese Christians in or with relatives in URAs, & Japanese Christians in cities or towns with churches that are near URAs get a vision to reach out in the 1514 URAs. d) Softening of soil (hearts) in and broader gospel seed sowing in rural Japan (and especially rural Tohoku where the tsunami was) and for freedom from spiritual blindness from the enemy in those who are hearing the gospel. e) Aging established churches struggling to survive. f) The few church plants/outreaches underway in rural Japan. g) Increased idea exchange leading to more effectiveness in rural Japan outreach and encouragement/perseverance for missionaries/Japanese pastors in rural Japan. h) For ongoing recovery efforts in the tsunami-impacted Tohoku Region and that recovery efforts will be bridged into long-term church planting in the many URAs in that region. Terminology Notes: a) The phrase “Church Planting Need” as used herein refers to the need for pioneer church planting (e.g., first church in an area). It is not intended to imply that further church planting is not also needed in other “churched” areas. b) “Churched” herein simply means there is at least one church. c) “Unchurched” herein means a community does not yet have its first church. d) “Prefecture” is an area between the size of a county and a state in the U.S. There are a total of 47 prefectures in the 9 regions of Japan. e) The order of the sections below is roughly from NE to SW, geographically. f) URA = Unchurched Rural Area—a community (town/village) of 3000 to 50,000 population that has yet to have its first Christian church of any denomination. URAs are shown in yellow on maps and a list of URA names for each prefectures is also provided. 4 Section 2.

  • Taxonomic Revision of the Longiscapus-Group of Arcuphantes
    Acta arachnol., 44 (2) : 129-152, December 30, 1995 Taxonomic Revision of the longiscapus-group of Arcuphantes (Araneae: Linyphiidae) in Western Japan, with a Note on the Concurrent Diversification of Copulatory Organs between Males and Females Yoh IHARA 1 井 原 庸1):西 日本 の ナ ガ エヤ ミサ ラグモ種 群 の分類 学的 改訂 お よび雌雄 の交尾 器 官の協 同的 多様 化 Abstract The longiscapus group in the genus Arcuphantes (Linyphiidae) is revised based on genital morphology and geographic distributional pattern. This group should be treated as a closely related species group or a single superspecies by their morphology and distribution. Three known species, A, longiscapus, A. hibanus and A. iharai, and five new species, A. saitoi, A. setouchi, A. tsurusakii, A. nojimai and A. okiensis are described. These eight species are only distributed in western Honshu, northeastern Shikoku and some adjacent islands, Japan. It gives para- patric pattern to the distribution except for some cases of narrow overlap. Mor- phological correspondence between male palp and epigynum was found as a species- specific character. Twenty species of the genus Arcuphantes (Linyphiidae) have been described from various areas of Japan. However, their taxonomy is still far from complete, and there are many undescribed species even in the main islands of Japan. What makes the taxonomy more complicated is the remarkable geographic differentiation in their copulatory organs exhibited by the species of the genus. In this paper, I deal with eight species of the genus Arcuphantes (longiscapus, hibanus, iharai and five new species), which are closely related to each other, from western Honshu, Shikoku and some adjacent islands, Japan.

    Journal of MineralogicalCalciborite and Petrological from Fuka, Sciences, Okayama, Volume Japan 109, page 13─ 17, 2014 13 Calciborite from the Fuka mine, Okayama Prefecture, Japan * * * ** Shoichi KOBAYASHI , Tamami ANDO , Akiko KANAYAMA , Mitsuo TANABE , *** † Shigetomo KISHI and Isao KUSACHI * Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Science, Okayama University of Science, Kita-ku, Okayama 700-0005, Japan ** 2058-3 Niimi, Niimi 718-0011, Japan *** 534 Takayama, Kagamino-cho, Tomata-gun 708-0345, Japan † 509-6 Shiraishi, Kita-ku, Okayama 701-0143, Japan Calciborite was found as a veinlet or a mass in crystalline limestone associated with gehlenite-spurrite skarns at the Fuka mine, Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Calciborite occurs as milky white aggregates up to 1 mm in diame- ter with shimazakiite, fluorite, bornite and calcite. An electron microprobe analysis of calciborite gave an em- pirical formula (Ca0.999Mn0.001Co0.001)Σ1.001B1.999O4 based on O = 4. The unit cell parameters are a = 8.373(2), b = 13.811(8), c = 5.012(4) Å. The mineral is optically biaxial (−), α = 1.594(2), β = 1.654(2), γ = 1.672(2) and −2 2Vcalc. = 56°. The Vickers microhardness is 177 kg mm (50 g load), and the Mohs hardness number is 3.5. The measured and calculated densities are 2.88(2) and 2.881 g cm−3, respectively. The calciborite from the Fuka mine was probably formed by a reaction of boron-bearing fluids with limestone at a temperature between 250 and 300 °C.

Firewood was used for cooking, charcoal was used for casting iron, and timber was necessary for building houses. Japanese people have skillfully used trees since early times. But in recent years, due to cheap imported wood and the change in the life of Japanese people, firewood and charcoal used as fuels were replaced with fossil fuels. Unlike the forests in the world, Japanese forests are not facing the danger of excessive use of wood but facing the danger of devastation due to not using wood.

  • A Transitional Analysis on the Production of Cereals, Beans And
    Journal of the Faculty of Environmental Science and Technology, Okayama University Vol.23, No.1, pp.23-48, March 2018 A Transitional Analysis on the Production of Cereals, Beans and Potatoes in Okayama Prefecture Enver Erdinç 'ø1ÇSOY*, Fumikazu ICHIMINAMI** DQG0HOWHP2NXU'ø1ÇSOY*** The contribution of cereals to economies is undoubtedly very important and has many dimensions in terms of use of cultivated areas, agricultural production, nutrition, domestic and foreign trade and national income. In this study, we ex- amined the characteristics of agricultural production in Okayama prefecture from the viewpoint of grain, beans and po- tatoes excluding rice, wheat and barley in the long term. These are undoubtedly supposed to have a certain role in comple- menting the function as the staple food of rice and wheat, etc. Also, according to our literature investigations, researchers have not focused on this context for Okayama Prefecture by not spending enough attention in the past. Therefore, we fo- cus on these subjects in this paper by examining a historical significance. It is observed that some planting area and yield of crops have drastically reduced in Okayama prefecture. Keywords: cultivated area, cereals, buckwheat, beans, potatoes, Okayama prefecture 1 INTRODUCTION 2 CEREALS OTHER THAN RICE, BARLEY AND WHEAT There are many factors that affect agriculture, including agricultural land area, quantity and quality of agricultural 2.1 Overview labor force, crops and their combinations. In this article, we There are various kinds of grains other than rice and focus only on the crops among items which have formed barley.

  • Uraninite and Thorite Ages of Around 400 Granitoids in the Japanese Islands
    国立科博専報，(51), pp. 1–24 , 2016 年 3 月 28 日 Mem. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Tokyo, (51), pp. 1–24, March 28, 2016 Uraninite and Thorite Ages of Around 400 Granitoids in the Japanese Islands Kazumi Yokoyama1*, Masako Shigeoka1, Yukiko Otomo2, Kouta Tokuno3 and Yukiyasu Tsutsumi1 1 Department of Geology and Paleontology, National Museum of Nature and Science, 4–1–1 Amakubo, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305–0005, Japan 2 Faculty of Education, Art and Science, Yamagata University, 1–4–12 Kojirakawa-machi, Yamagata-shi, Yamagata 990–8560, Japan 3 Earth and Planetary Science, Kyushu University, 744 Motooka, Nishiku, Fukuoka 819–0395, Japan * E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Systematic dating of around 400 granitoids in the Japanese Islands have been made on the basis of total UO2, ThO2 and PbO contents of uraninite and anhydrous thorite using an electron microprobe analyzer (EPMA) at the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo. The ages range from ca. 5 Ma to 300 Ma. From the granitoid ages, the Japanese Islands were divided into many terranes. In northern Japan, granitoids with ages of approximately 110–120 Ma occur in the Kitakami Mountains, southwest Hokkaido and eastern Abukuma Mountains, and granitoids with ages of approximately 100–110 Ma occur at the western Abukuma Mountains and its northern extension. The granitoids that are around 90–100 Ma old occur sporadically in the Japanese Islands: mainly in the Asahi Mountains, the Nikko area, northern Shikoku and northern Kyushu. In central and northern Japan, the younger Cretaceous granitoids, partly Paleogene, with an age of around 65 Ma occur along the western part of the Asahi Mountains and Tsukuba–Nikkou area.

  • Distribution of the Thelypteris Japonica Complex (Thelypteridaceae) in Japan
    Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Ser. B, 39(2), pp. 61–85, May 22, 2013 Distribution of the Thelypteris japonica Complex (Thelypteridaceae) in Japan Atsushi Ebihara1,* and Narumi Nakato2 1 Department of Botany, National Museum of Nature and Science, Amakubo 4–1–1, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305–0005, Japan 2 Narahashi 1–363, Higashiyamato-shi, Tokyo 207–0031, Japan * E-mail: [email protected] (Received 12 February 2013; accepted 25 March 2013) Abstract The distribution of the four taxa, Thelypteris japonica forma japonica, T. japonica forma formosa, T. musashiensis and T. japonica×T. musashiensis, was reassessed by observation of spore morphology of 1984 herbarium specimens deposited in the National Museum of Nature and Science. 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.
