  Tohoku
Tohoku gained its reputation of inaccessibility because of the rugged mountains that form its spine, the deep snowy winters of impregnable white, and the tenacity the land has shown against being tamed.
Tohoku and the island of Shikoku vie as the least touristed areas of Japan, and the region lags behind the rest of Honshu in industrialization and modernity.
Tohoku is the best place to view an older, wizened Japan: a land of unpretentious villages and strong tradition where faintly but firmly beats the venerable heart of Japan.

Another problem with the conventional stencil printer with on-line sorters is that since a printing coming out of the printer carries an excessive amount of ink which is still wet, it smears another printing or is smeared by another printing when distributed to a bin.
The main controller 100A determines, in response to a signal from the paper sensor 324, that the printings P' are present on the bins 306 of the second sorter 300 and determines, in response to a signal from the second sorter controller 300A, that the sorter 300 is stapling the printings P'.
In response, the main controller 100A determines that the nonsort tray 318 is idle, and prepares the tray 318 for reception.
