Yes, the fruit of this tree.
You know it well. We also use them to flavor our food.
Jin was talking about the nuts that Gawel had picked, which he thought were Prickly Ash.

"How do you eat it?"
Jin knew that Prickly Ash was used as a spice, but he did not know how to process it.

"I see."
This is how they are used in modern Japan to make tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce) such as sansho kelp.
"Also, the ripe fruit is sometimes picked, the seeds are removed, and the peel is ground and sprinkled on grilled meat.

"Oh."
Jin had once been treated to an eel bowl by his boss in modern Japan, and he had eaten it sprinkled with powdered sansho (Japanese pepper), and had loved the aroma.
I would like to have some of that powder, if you don't mind.

Jin offered,
"Oh, sure. I have some freshly made ones.
Apparently, he had just made it recently.

But, you know, the aroma is better if you grind it just before use.
"Oh, then I'd like to use the unground ones, not the powdered ones. If possible, please share some of the seeds as well.
"Sure."

In this way, Jin obtained not only powdered Sansho, but also seeds of the Sansho tree. He would eventually cultivate it in Penglai Island.
Furthermore, the old man would like to get some saplings from a place that will not disturb the residents.

The day when Sansho will be added to the table of Horai Island is coming soon.

"First, an experiment.
A small amount of dye powder is dissolved in water and impregnated into the wooden paper.

"When this dries, will the color remain the same?"
"Father, that's the problem."
With Reiko as his assistant, who has no problem getting the dye on her hands, Jin proceeds with his experiments. Elsa and Saki were observing.

Jin wondered if this would be a photographic method of wetting, so to speak.
The first photographs taken on earth were called "wet plate" photographs, in which a colorless, transparent glass plate was dipped in silver nitrate solution to make a photosensitive film.

As the name implies, the process required photographing while the plate was still wet, which made it less convenient to use, and it was replaced by the later development of the

Saki then came up with an idea.
Aethenol is a synthetic substance made by dissolving free magic element (ether) in water made of magical isotope (magiisotope), and is an extremely powerful energy source.

Assuming that the fact that the color does not change after drying is due to the volatilization of magic power, we can use ethenol-impregnated paper as photographic paper, and erase the free magic element (ether) after taking a picture.
"I think we can try diluting the ethenol with water instead of pure ethenol."
"That would certainly be a good idea."

I was also curious to see how the free ether would react with the dye from the rainbow caterpillar.
"I'll give it a try, then."
Reiko prepared pure ethenol and diluted ethenol 10, 50 and 100 times. She dissolved dye powder in each of them.
