写真はこの間行った農場調査での一コマです。道東方面は、まだちょっと寒く、雪もところどころ残っていました。

   It has been a while since the last update. Hokkaido is now in the middle of spring, after many strangely warm/cold days. Then, spring season will soon fly away, as usual. Pasture grows very quickly and we see so many different flowers in this season. The new fiscal (financial) year has started and now we have a few projects going. We realize that we do not have a solid "projects" page on this website so we have to renew this website soon so it has good explanations for our projects (we say this just to pressure ourselves). 

   The photo was taken at the eastern part of Hokkaido. It was still a bit cold there with some snow remaining.
