Society
At the beginning of the Meiji period, there was a man who bought all the Cherry Blossoms in Yoshinoyama. His name was Shozaburo Tsuchikura. He opened the road through the cliffs from Yoshino-Ise to Ise-Ise by himself, promoted afforestation to cover mountains all over the country with greenery, participated in the Freedom and People's Rights Movement, and focused on financial support for many schools such as Doshisha. He also supported the foundation of Japan Women's University school (now Japan Women's University), believing that education for girls would increase national power. He sent his daughter to study in the US. There is no end to the list of his other great achievements. He was a king of mountains and forests with financial power comparable to Mitsuie, a wealthy merchant who lived in Kawakami-mura, the source of Yoshinogawa River, and worked to build the foundation of modern Japan. However, now the name of Shozaburo Tsuchikura has disappeared from history, and his achievements are being forgotten. What was the tragedy that happened to the Tsuchikura family? What kind of world did he look at from the mountains of Yoshino? While following his footsteps, he explores the Japanese path from the viewpoint of the forest from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji period and the Taisho period.
