1 week History

1 week, I start to write about Gunma's history. Gunma prefecture was made in meiji 4.Gunma prefecture was not founded from it before. But ancient tombs showed that many people lived the place  which became to Gunma.
It was proved that people lived from the old stone age by the Iwajyuku ruin in gunma prefecture.Iwajyuku prefecture is the most famous ruins in japan. Because it proved that people lived in japan from old stone age. The person who finded Iwajyuku ruin is Tadahiro Aizawa. He is the most famousn in japan too.
 Ruins show that Jomon culture and Yayoi culture were transmitted.
 And The first an ancient Japanese tomb of a circular shape with a rectangular frontage is found in Japan. It was  found in Maebashi city. It was named Tenshinsan ancient tomb. I was see the sights of it.It was large than expected.
 A great deal of havoc happened by the eruption of  Asamayama in Heian era. Many persons died with volcanic ashes and agricultural products became useless with volcanic ashes.Also after  this,much damage happen in Gunma prefecture by the erupation of Asamayama.
Yoshisada Nitta attacks the Kamakura shogunate  in Kamakura era.Nagao kagenaka established Sourinji temple at Shibukawa city in Mromachi era.
Tokugawa Ieyasu established Dainyouin in Edo era.It happened not only to Gumma but to many prefectures by the major volcanic eruption of Asamayama in Edo era.And edo era endMe because Tiseihoukan happened.
And Gumma Prefecture is made for the first time in meiji 4. The school was made and education started. The first school was made in Azuma city.However, seemingly, tuition was a charge. So only the rich person was able to receive education. The silk industry prospers in gunma prefecture.Gumma Prefecture is a prefecture where Japan is also prosperous in leading silk manufacture industry.The Tomioka silk manufacture place is very famous for Japan as a silk mill. The Tomioka silk manufacture place has become that it is likely to register with world heritage. Gumma Prefecture was a prefecture where sericulture and silk manufacture are the most prosperous in Japan. Traffic also progressed in meiji era. The railroad spread through Gumma Prefecture.The time which movement takes by it decreased sharply. But As before, movement of the short distance was on foot. The prefectural assembly was also made for the first time.Parliament was merely seen lightly. Therefore, lawmakers did the protest etc. Gumma Prefecture of Meiji Era led modernization of Japan in the whole country as a prefecture where sericulture and silk manufacture are the most prosperous.
The precious foreign currency which is because the center of export of those days was raw silk, and was earned with raw silk is industry and a field of military affairs, and this promoted modernization of Japan powerfully.
For this reason, every place within the prefecture were full of vigor, culture and education developed, and the prominent man of culture was also born one after another.
 To Meiji Era, once vigor has been lost by decline etc. of the sericulture silk industry which led the whole countryin Tisyou era. But Also in new industry, water service and an electric light began to spread through birth and every place within the prefecture, and means of transportation, such as a bus and a train, also progressed.
Thus, the life of the people of the prefecture advanced the pace to the new era which leads also to the present age certainly.
