 KIPPO NEWS Wednesday, October 19, 2005
Business conditions in the six prefectures of the Kansai region (Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, Shiga, Nara and Wakayama) were slowly recovering in September, with production picking up momentum, according to the quarterly "tankan" report released by the Osaka branch of the Bank of Japan.
Busette was told by local residents that storks, which were once seen everywhere, were disappearing as the forests where they made nests were felled down, while their favorite feed, such as loaches and crucian carps, vanished from rivers, ponds and paddy fields due to water contamination.
While in Toyooka, Busette was constantly surrounded by reporters of news media, because he watched the storks so earnestly, checked temperature and currents of paddy water and explored paddy fields to see whether there were enough loaches.

 Report No.230105   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Joint efforts by farmers and related organizations such as JA cooperative resulted in turning paddy fields to such a condition as loaches and frogs (the stork's natural food supply) can thrive in abundance and the rice can be sold with a brand.
In compliance with the standards for the prefecture government certification "Peace of Mind Hyogo Brand", application of farm chemicals and synthetic fertilizers were reduced to the maximum possible extent, the timing was delayed of summer drainage during tillering stage and the fields were flooded during winter to provide aquatic animals with kind environment to habitate.
In 2003, Hyogo Prefectural Park 'Homeland for the Oriental White Stork' drew up a plan to promote releasing of artificially raised storks into natural fields and joined hands with farmers to create chemical-reduced paddy fields and biotops - German word for wild habitat.

The craft can be traced back to the 1st century AD, and there is a willow basketwork box, the Tajima no Kunisan Yanagibako, among the treasures held at the Shoso-in Repository in Nara.
The craft began in earnest, however, when baskets were made from Salix koriyanagi, a willow which grows in an area washed by the waters of the Maruyama river, and when a castle was built in Toyooka, the craft developed into an industry.
During the Edo period, the Kyogoku family led the local clan and protected and promoted the craft, establishing a monopoly, which resulted in this basketry being known throughout the country.
