I was pleasantly surprised by how many people came.

About the February 26th Ofukuichi Market

This is Yuki from the Ofukuichi secretariat.

We would like to introduce the exhibitors at the "Ofukuichi" event to be held on Wednesday, February 26th.

koha　...A shop that sells bread made with homemade yeast and healthy sweets.

They make wonderful, heartwarming bread and sweets.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll create this time.

Kokui Farm　We strive every day to produce safe, high-quality crops, and are particular about "delicious" food.

Healthy crops that are grown like our own children are unlike anything else.

Domestically produced soybeans are a precious crop, accounting for less than 5% of the total.

What's more, we offer tofu, natto, miso, and other items made exclusively with soybeans grown in Okui!

They sell it. My kids love it too. Please try the tofu and natto.

MaruruSan...Handmade goods and fabric accessories

They will be selling items such as masks and placemats for kindergarten and elementary school entrance preparations.

Maruru is a working mother in the neighborhood.

They will give you advice on what you need for nursery school and what you need to prepare for elementary school.

By the way, at a nearby elementary school, students wear masks every day during the week when they are on lunch duty.

...It's useful to have a few.

Neighboring CitySan... is a group of shops and artists active in Toyota City.

This time, you can see an antique shop and a delicatessen.

...Exciting.

Forest SquareMr./Ms....is working to spread awareness of the importance of forest creation in Toyota City.

You can paint on the cedar trees of Toyota. Amazing.

Draw your thoughts on this board, which has a gentle wood scent that will make you feel at ease.

Crayons will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own.

Both children and adults are welcome to participate, and you can take home your finished work.

You can also experience the Peruvian instrument "Cajon" made from Toyota wood.

....Looks fun.

and,

Takakoen　...In pursuit of delicious tea, we are particular about everything from soil preparation using organic fertilizer to cultivation.

This time, we are also planning to hold a cafe in the cafe space.

I'm still thinking about what kind of menu I should make.

However, it is certain that this is a menu item that can only be enjoyed at this time.

We will announce it once it has been decided.

In addition, Fuku-chan's homemade amazake will be served from 11am.

I would be happy if you could bring me a bowl.

A nostalgic fan from my predecessor

A neighbor brought me an old fan.

I'm not sure exactly how old it is, but it's a fan from the generation before last.

The name of the previous owner, "Noba Takayoshi," is written on it.

Were they given out as prizes or promotional material?

Fans from before the 1950s

It's in very good condition,

It must have been tucked away securely in the back.

Takakaen Garden during the Hekikai County era

Looking at the address...

Not Toyota City, but Hekikai County.

This area used to be part of Hekikai County, along with Kariya City and Anjo City.

In 1965, Yoshiwara, Takaoka Town, was incorporated into Toyota City from Hekikai County.

It looks like a fan from before the 1950s.

Call Takaoka at number 14.

It's a number that's hard to imagine now.

This is a fan that makes you feel very nostalgic.

Since we had the chance, we have it on display in our store.

Please take a look if you are interested.
