Abstract

This study deals with the transformation of the valuation and cultivation method of Tamba-Dainagon red beans (Tamba-Dainagon Azuki) in the Tamba area. As a result of the characteristics of the beans, the harvesting method by hand-picking has been maintained for a long period. However, with the number of people engaged in agriculture decreasing each year, began to suffer from a shortage of successors. Therefore, the harvest method was mechanized through village-based farming organizations. The red beans produced by mechanized harvesting have not reached the quality and yield accepted by trading companies and Kyoto style Wagashi (Kyogashi) stores. Despite these problems, certain users have prioritized sustaining production over extinction by accepting mechanization, and in recent years have showcased a cooperative relationship. The red beans harvested by machines will be valued again by bean trading companies, Kyogashi stores, and others.
