ABSTRACT In Chiba Prefecture, Japan, during the Edo period (1603-1867), the development of waterway traffic by ships and the management of ports, highways and post towns around the ports progressed with the prosperity of the Edo (present-day Tokyo), which became heavily populated and the center of politics. We estimated that the demand of Japanese sake, which is luxury grocery item, was high. The freshwater layer that is abundant in mineral water to a depth of approxi- mately 10 m is formed in coastal sand dunes. The fresh water layer is hard water, in which the concentrations of miner- als such as calcium and magnesium are high. When the fresh water layer is used as the preparation water, the working rice malt and yeast in the sake brewing process become active.

  • Friends of Japan
    Friends of Japan Karolina Styczynska Born in Warsaw, Poland. First came to Japan in 2011. Entered Yamanashi Gakuin University in 2013 and divides her time between schoolwork and honing her shogi skills. In her play she seeks to emulate the strategy of Yasuharu Oyama, a legendary player who earned the top rank of meijin . Hopes to spread the popularity of the game by one day using her expertise to write a shogi manual for players overseas. 32 Shogi ─ A Japanese Game Wins a Devotee from Poland The traditional Japanese game of shogi has a distinct sound: a sharp click as wooden pieces, called koma , are strategically placed on a burnished board. Karolina Styczynska, a Polish shogi prodigy quickly on her way to becoming the first non-Japanese kishi, or professional shogi player, considers this aspect of play among her favorites. “Hearing the click of the koma with a game-winning move is perfection,” she exclaims. As a teenager Styczynska discovered shogi , also known as Japanese chess, in the pages of a Japanese manga. A self-professed lover of riddles and puzzles, she was intrigued by the distinctive game and began scouring the Internet for information. “Once I began to understand the rules,” she recalls, “I was captivated.” Shogi differs in several ways from other variants of chess, most notably in the observance of the so-called drop rule, which allows players to introduce captured pieces as their own. “The koma are always alive,” Styczynska explains. “It makes the game extremely dynamic.” Playing online, the Warsaw native quickly drew attention for her skill and competitiveness.

    “Pursuing infinite possibilities with the power of ideas” since 1896 The198 th Fiscal Year Interim Business Report April 1, 2017 September 30, 2017 INTERIM BUSINESS REPORT Securities code: 3202 010_7046302832912.indd 2 2017/12/20 17:06:41 Management’s message <Introduction> During the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, the Japanese economy remained in a moderate recovery trend overall. Although the domestic income and employment environment continued to improve as a result of various government policies, concerns remained in issues such as the ongoing uncertainty of overseas economies. Under these circumstances, the Group continued to work diligently on managerial initiatives based on the “Bridge to the Future” Mid-term Management Plan in each of its business sections. <Business results for the first half> Net sales decreased to ¥2,133 million (down 7.2% year on year) due to the absence of extraordinary income in the commercial property business seen in the same period of the previous fiscal year, as well as sluggish growth among some OEM customers in the health-related and apparel-related sectors. However, operating income increased to ¥227 million (up 14.9% year on year) as a result of a reduction in general and administrative expenses, and ordinary income increased to ¥169 million (up 81.7% year on year) due to the absence of one-time non-operating expenses incurred in the same period of the previous fiscal year. As a result of this, combined with the absence of extraordinary income and extraordinary losses recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year and income taxes, profit attributable to owners of parent increased around two-fold year on year to ¥130 million (up 105.7% year on year).

  • Nesting and Stranding of the Loggerhead Sea Turtle on the Pacific Coast of the Boso Peninsula, Central Japan, in 2007
    Nat. Hist. Res., Vol. 10 No. 2: 99－106, March 2009 Nesting and Stranding of the Loggerhead Sea Turtle on the Pacific Coast of the Boso Peninsula, Central Japan, in 2007 Fukashi Moriya Hiari-Izumiura Sea Turtle Protection Society 2217－3Hiari,Isumi,Chiba,298－0002 Japan E-mail: jomonjin.happy＠gmail.com Abstract Nesting and stranding events of loggerhead sea turtles, Caretta caretta, were investigated along the Pacific coast of the Boso Peninsula, from Choshi to Katsuura, Japan, from May to November 2007. The 90 km coast line, represents the northernmost nesting site for the species in Japan, with three major nest- ing locations: Hiari-Izumiura beach, Isumi; Nakazato-Kouji beach, Shirako; and Kidohama beach, Yokoshibahikari. Seventeen nesting events were recorded, of which the presence of 12 nests was con- firmed. Twenty-four stranded individuals, 14 of which were subadults and juveniles, were recorded. The low nesting activity compared with other areas in Japan might be attributed to the relatively short period ap- propriate for nesting and hatching given the temperate latitude. The unusually high stranding rate of subadult and juvenile turtles may suggest that the region is a feeding ground for immature loggerhead sea turtles. Key words: Caretta caretta, loggerhead sea turtle, nesting observation, stranding survey, subadult and juve- nile turtles, Boso Peninsula. The Japanese Archipelago is the major nesting species in the Northwestern Pacific. ground for the loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta in Materials and Methods the North Pacific, with beaches primarily located along the central and southern coast of the archipel- The study area ranged from Choshi to Katsuura ago.
