The Lotus Sutra is a wish to convey the scriptures until the end of the Heian period (late 11th century to 12th century), when the Maitreya Bodhisattva appeared 5,670 million years after the death of Buddha and saved sentient beings. The scriptures such as the Lotus Sutra are engraved on a clay tablet, baked, and placed in the sutra mound. Kaibara Ekken's "Chikuzen Kokuryo Fudoki" (1703-1709) states that this tile sutra was found on Mt. Atago.

Bamboo forest logging and conservation activities on Mt. Atago (1st to 3rd)

— Would you like to move while bathing in the forest? — —

(2018)

Currently, the bamboo grove that spreads on Mt. Atago has been left unattended for a long time, and as a result, it has become an obstacle to maintaining the diversity of vegetation, which is a characteristic of Satoyama. There is also the problem that it obstructs the view from the precincts of Atago Shrine and the view from the sweets shop. Bamboo spreads on the rhizomes and stores nutrients, so it is very difficult to eliminate it because it sprouts new shoots even if it is cut. This year, we would like to start by starting to set the direction of future recommendations and to acquire techniques and techniques for logging bamboo forests.

This is the third initiative (the end of this term). I hope that many people will participate in the nature restoration efforts of Mt. Atago.

Since the introduction of Kanji, many people have sought how to write Japanese using this foreign character, and various attempts have been made. Manyoshu has the appearance of a trade fair, and is truly diverse. Eventually, kana will be created from kanji, and a Japanese notation system called "kanji-kana majiri" will be established. After the birth of kana, a change in the history of Japanese notation, Manyoshu has become so large that it cannot be easily read by experts. This time, I looked at how the plants appearing in the Manyoshu are written, why they can be read that way, and how they are identified as the current plants, focusing on the plants that are likely to be related to Mt. Atago. I think
