 The rhizobium bacteria, which produce rhizomes, live in symbiosis with the roots of the Japanese milk vetch.

 The rhizobium symbiotically grows on the roots of leguminous plants, fixing nitrogen in the air, supplying nitrogen fertilizer to the plants, and obtaining carbohydrates produced by photosynthesis from the plants.

 The rhizobia are found in the bumps on the roots of leguminous plants.

 In ancient Japan, when rice was cultivated in rice paddies, rhizobium was cultivated in the spring before the paddies were flooded, and then tilled together with the soil so that nitrogen fertilizer fixed by rhizobium could be distributed to the soil.

 This method is used on Horai Island, and preparations are being made here in Hale.

"Yes. When I first came here, the humidity was around 20 percent, but now it has increased to around 40 percent.

 Tsuga is used as a building material and yew as a craft material. Camellia is used to extract camellia oil from the fruit.
