Agriculture
Chuko Shinsho
Special food and rice for Japanese people. From where rice came to the Japanese Islands in the first place, who produced the first paddy fields, and the reason why the cultivation was delayed in the Tohoku region. From the origin of rice cultivation, we reveal the reality of rice cultivation in the medieval period, in which Indica rice was produced actively and water was used so much as to make underground water channels. In addition, we explain from the multi-layered viewpoint of history, agricultural science, and culture, from the modern period when rice food culture such as Japanese confectionery and sake brewing flourished, from the modern period when it became military goods to the present day.
