Long time ago, there were some rice paddies, fields and streams near people
living in the areas now called Ichikawashi and they saw many birds, animals,
butterflies, insects and plants having lived there in each season. This
environment that had been preserved by the relationship between the nature
and the people lost a lot during the urbanization.
