E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The hiraiwai-subgroup of the Leiobunum curvipalpe-species group (Opiliones: Sclerosomatidae: Leiobuninae) is revised on the basis of somatic morphology, genitalia and karyotypes. This subgroup is distributed mainly in the mountainous areas of the Japanese Beech (Fagus crenata) forest zone (usually above 700 m in altitude in the southwestern part of Japan) in the western part of the Japanese Islands and corresponds to a single polytypic species, Leiobunum hiraiwai (Sato & Suzuki, 1939) with eight geographic races. Leiobunum tamanum Suzuki, 1957 and L. tsushimense Suzuki, 1976 are here synonymized with L. hiraiwai. All the races, except for the Tsushima race, were chromosomally analyzed. The number of chromosomes varies geographically from 2n = 18 to 22 eastwards, irrespective of the variation in somatic morphology or male genitalia. Component chromosomes in these karyotypes are invariably metacentric or submetacentric in structure. Some morphological characters show a geographic pattern of variation that conforms to the stasipatric model of speciation. The possible processes of geographical differentiation of the species and direction of character evolution are inferred on the basis of such geographical patterns. The distribution of some character states suggests that the closest relative of the subgroup is the curvipalpe-subgroup (= Leiobunum curvipalpe Roewer, 1910 and L.

Geologically speaking, this part of the globe is on.e of typically unstable crust, hence the Japanese often ex- perience severe earthquakes. Besides, the western part of the Peri-Pacific Volcanic Zone runs from the KamÅëhatka Peninsula via the Kuriles, Hokkaido, Honsltu, Kyushu, Ryukyu and to the Phillipine Is}ands. Both the presence of the eartltquake zone and severe vulcanism, together with the steep slopes of the mountains wkich occupy almost all of the country, have resulted in many lakes and ponds in the Japanese Islands. The total numbey of them is about 600 ln this small in.".u}ar country, which is almost equal in area to the State Montana of the United States. They are, moreover, not only numerous but sorae are very important Iakes from the viewpoint of both limnology and geology.

    Japanese 100 Great Mountains Vol. 6: Episode 026-030 Originally written in Japanese and translated by Hodaka Photographs by Hodaka Cover design by Tanya Copyright © 2021 Hodaka / The BBB: Breakthrough Bandwagon Books All rights reserved. The BBB website http://thebbb.net/ Hodaka Author Page http://thebbb.net/cast/hodaka.html Episode 026: Mount Senjo Just one year ago, I stayed in a tent at Kitazawa Pass to climb Mount Kaikoma and Mount Senjo in the Southern Alps. But at the time, due to the rain on the second day, I was able to climb only Mount Kaikoma (refer to Episode 018). So, I aim at the Mount Senjo, which I could not conquer last year. This time I have decided to stay in a mountain hut and chosen a weekend on account of the weather and my schedule. Approaching the Southern Alps by your own vehicle is restricted, so you need to use bus or taxi to get there. On Saturdays and Sundays, the first bus is available earlier than on weekdays and heavily crowded. I have arrived at Ashiyasu parking lot at 5:15, about one hour before the first bus. But the parking lots around the area seem to have already been full and I have to get back to the fifth parking lot, which is an about 10-minute walk to the bus stop. I quickly pack up my belongings and get to the bus station, where I see a long line already there. The first three buses have been parked. I manage to take a seat in the third bus and many passengers fill even the aisle of it.

He always keeps my interest in photography up and makes me keep striving for the perfect photo. He also often makes me think of the expression “when the going gets tough, the tough keep going.” Without my partner it has to also be noted that I most likely would not have climbed any of these mountains. Secondly, it is dedicated to my mother and father, bless them, for tolerating and even encouraging my photography hobby from the time I was twelve years old. And, finally, it is dedicated to my friends who have encouraged me to create books of photographs which I have taken while doing mountain climbing.

She said that they planned this big trip to exploit the fact that her sister’s son happened to be in Tokyo as an exchange student at Waseda University. All five of them visited me at my atelier in Kawasaki. Since it was spring vacation at the university, they rented a car next day and took a wonderful long trip to Owari Province (the western half of Aichi Prefecture) to see several historical castles; then to Kyoto; then to Naoshima Island to see modern artworks, including those of Yayoi Kusama in the Seto 2 Inland Sea; the Dogo Hot Spring in Matsuyama; and the public hot spring baths in Takamatsu.
