Preface
It was a series of happy coincidences that I started studying about plants in 19th century Japan.
Dissatisfied with the range of vegetables on offer and the options available to organic farmers, I was
eager to explore the range of crops that could be grown that fit the agroecological and ethnobotanical
context of Japan. Little did I know that it would lead me to do research on the Seikei Zusetsu
encyclopedia!
I would like to thank my supervisor, Tinde van Andel, for teaching me the essential skills of
Ethnobotany in her course at Wageningen University, and for introducing me to the rich treasure
trove of books at the Leiden University Special Collections. Professor Harm Beukers’ expertise was
indispensable in accessing the various information sources at the library. Professor Hiroaki Egashira
and WUR graduate Maeda Chisato both provided a lot of indispensable information through
interviews, and for this I am very grateful. Tinde also put me in touch with Jos van der Maesen and
Brigitta de Wilde, two experts who helped with identifications of the plants. And special thanks to
Tsai-Wei Chiang, whose knowledge was helpful in navigating the complex text of the Seikei Zusetsu.
I would also like to send my gratitude to all the scholars whose work I had the opportunity to follow
in, from all the different fields that this paper explores.
I would like to mention and thank the Japan Student Services Association, whose generous
scholarship made my research at Wageningen University possible.
Lastly, I thank my parents and my sister for their guidance and support. And my friends from
Droevendaal 107!

Abstract
Improving crop diversity is increasingly being seen as a way to address the changing agenda of
agricultural production, which calls for more resilience to climatic changes and the ability to provide
better nutritional outcomes. On the other hand, current mainstream agriculture is characterised by a
steadily declining genetic diversity in the crops used in farming systems. This paper is a systematic
inventory of all crop species and cultivars mentioned in the Seikei Zusetsu, a Japanese agricultural
encyclopedia from the early 19th century, with an aim to gain understanding of the diversity of crops in
the farming systems of Edo-period Japan. A comprehensive list of all the plants with English
translations and current scientific names was created. Analysis showed that 109 distinct species were
recorded, with 25 species having more than 2 cultivars. Some species like Raphanus raphanistrum had as
many as 12 cultivars. Dutch names for 93 crops and products were also found as evidence of the
evolving research landscape in the late 18th century, and these names were translated into modern
Dutch. A comparison with current crop diversity was conducted. Official statistical data was
available for 50 of the 109 crop species mentioned in the Seikei Zusetsu, with the remaining 59
remaining undocumented. These underutilised crops may be harnessed in order to improve crop
diversity, and further research will allow for the preservation of ethnobotanical knowledge associated
with these plants.

Introduction
The Seikei Zusetsu
The Seikei Zusetsu is an agricultural encyclopaedia that was commissioned by Shimazu
Shigehide (島津重豪), Daimyo of the Satsuma Domain1, of which the compilation began in the year
Kansei 5 (1793 CE) . The information for this encyclopaedia was compiled through a collaborative
2
effort by So Senshun (曽 占春, also known as Soan 曾槃), Kokugaku scholar Shirao Kunihashira
(白尾 国柱 ), Confucian3 scholar Mukai Tomoaki (
向井 友章)and Rangaku4 scholar Hori Monjuro
(堀 門十郎, also known as Aisei 愛生). Though the book was commissioned and produced for the
benefit mainly of the Satsuma Domain, it is reasonable to assume from the governance structures and
scholarly practices at that time that the information within the book is not limited by geographic
boundaries, allowing us a glimpse into the agricultural practices of Edo-period Japan. Although the
original consisted of a hundred volumes at the time of completion of the wooden printing blocks,
seventy of these were destroyed in two major fires, leaving only thirty volumes to be published. The
thirty volumes that were printed contain an encyclopedic explanation of the various crops, vegetables,
herbs, and trees, their properties and characteristics, their utility for humans, and the best system to
cultivate them (Marcon 2015). It demonstrates the change from Chinese-influenced Honzogaku (本草
学, herbal studies, limited to plants) to the Dutch-influenced Hakubutsugaku (博物学,natural
history, which included the study of plants, animals, birds and minerals). The Seikei Zusetsu is now
considered to be a prefectural treasure of Kagoshima, Japan. It was his conception that nature studies
were inseparable from the economic concerns that made Shigehide’s efforts so special (Matsui 1975;
Marcon 2015), and the reason why it may be of relevance for both scientists and the general public in
the 21st century.
A complete copy of this encyclopedia is available in the Leiden University Special Collection
Library as part of the Von Siebold Collection. The copy is signed by Katsuragawa Hoken, both with
his name and his Dutch name, Wilhelmus Botanicus, suggesting that it was a present from him to Von
Siebold. The commissioner of the book, Shigehide, also met with Von Siebold in April 1826, and talked
with him about his love for the study of natural history. The Dutch influence on the creation of the
Seikei Zusetsu cannot be underestimated. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) Trading Post in
Hirado was moved to Nagasaki 1641, allowing Satsuma to come into contact with European

scholarship through the VOC. Spanning over a period of 175 years, the Rangaku scholars of the
Satsuma domain had the opportunity to meet the surgeons and botanists accompanying the Dutch
mission, allowing them to create a new scholarship based on a fusion of Western Dutch and Chinese
scientific cultures. The success of these Rangaku scholars is theorized by researchers of Japanese
history to be one of the main underlying reasons why Japan would subsequently be able to modernize
at a rapid pace in the 20th century (Nakaoka 2013; Marcon 2015).
Philipp Franz Von Siebold, a German physician working on behalf of the VOC, arrived in
Japan in August 1823. During his period of stay, he was able to amass a collection of more than 1000
books and catalogues from Japan for the purpose of increasing the Dutch understanding of the
enigmatic Japanese nation. The utilitarian nature of the collection means that most of the items are
not only valuable because of their rarity, but also because they are a curated collection of state-of-theart knowledge in Japan at the time (Brown 1976). The Seikei Zusetsu is one of the items in this vast
collection.
Current Research and Gaps
To date, several studies have been carried out on the Seikei Zusetsu. An electronic
reproduction of a copy is freely accessible through the National Diet Library Digital Collection, Japan
(National Diet Library Digital Collections 2016). Federico Marcon, in his book ‘The Knowledge of
Nature and the Nature of Knowledge in Early Modern Japan’ (2015), discusses the various knowledge
systems embodied used to describe nature in this eclectic work. He also explains the significance of
this work in the context of contemporary events during the Tokugawa Shogunate, using this work as
an illustration of the ideas of its initiator, Shimazu Shigehide and his openness to ‘outside knowledge’
in a period marked by its closedness to outer influences. Fukuoka Maki’s work (Fukuoka 2012) looks
at the representations of the ‘truth’ (shin, 真) in pictorial representations from this period, and
provides insight into the science of visual representations during this period. In Japan, the Seikei
Zusetsu has been used for practical purposes albeit to a limited extent in the revival of several
‘traditional crops’ in Tokyo. A well-known example is the Shinagawa turnip (shinagawa kabu, 品川
カブ), which has been ‘found’ again by Otsuka Yoshio and Otake Michishige. These two scholars are
known for reviving and championing the category of traditional vegetables in Tokyo, and have written
several books about these vegetables (Michishige Otake 2009a).
What has not been done so far however, is the systematic inventory of all crop species and
cultivars mentioned in the Seikei Zusetsu with an aim to gain understanding of the diversity of crops
in the farming systems of Tokugawa Japan. Such an inventory will allow us to make comparisons
with present-day crop diversity on farms, and make use of underutilised crops in order to create an
agriculture more suited to the agroecological situation in Japan. The practical implications of this
2
knowledge in present conditions cannot be underestimated, especially in the Japanese context, but
there are also potential implications for global agriculture.
Agriculture in Japan
Japan’s distinctive geography and location allows for a wide range of climatic regions, all of which are
generally conducive to the cultivation of crops with favourable rainfall and seasonal patterns.
However, the mountainous nature of the archipelago means that flat land for cultivating crops is less
than 15% of the total area. Nevertheless, agriculture has been the basis of most of the economic
activity in Japan over the last two millennia (Ito and Hiraizumi 2008). Crop diversity played an
important role in ensuring that enough food was produced, and is most probably the result of
adaptation to variable climates in the mountainous regions (Brush 2008). Another factor driving crop
diversification was the system of taxation of land that was based on rice production and was
prevalent in feudal Japan. In order to avoid taxes but at the same time feed hungry mouths, farmers
were forced to diversify food crop production. Another interesting aspect of agriculture during the
Edo period was that it was labour-intensive but an ecologically stable system of production (Ito and
Hiraizumi 2008). This equilibrium ensured agriculture’s importance throughout the Meiji period,
right until the Second World War.
After WW2, the social setting changed drastically. The productivity of land fell as it was not
maintained with sufficient addition of inputs and hunger was common (Committee for the Japanese
Agriculture Session 1991). In order to combat this situation, post-war agriculture focused on
provisioning of quantity instead of quality, with agricultural policy based around the need to increase
the production of rice. This goal was achieved through the creation of ‘fertiliser-consuming’ rice
breeds that were able to convert increased applications of fertiliser into larger yields, along with farm
mechanisation (Hayami, Yamada, and Akino 1991). Mechanisation meant less people were working on
the farms, and the allure of rising wages from booming Japanese industries resulted in a steady
outmigration that decimated the workforce in the countryside. The number of people working in
agriculture fell from 15 million (38% of the work force) in 1955 to 6.7 million (13%) in 1975 (Ito and
Hiraizumi 2008), and to around 2.26 million in 2014 (MAFF 2015). This is not the only decline within
agriculture; the calorie self-sufficiency ratio is down to 39% in 2013 (MAFF 2015), from 79% in 1969
(Hayami, Yamada, and Akino 1991), a precipitous decline over in the time-span of three generations.
This has been explained by the steady westernisation of the Japanese diet (Committee for the
Japanese Agriculture Session 1991) and the associated rise in consumption of food sourced from
outside Japan. These trends are corroborated by Smil and Kobayashi in their fascinating book ‘Japan’s
Dietary Transition and Its Impacts’, where they chart this dietary transition using statistical data as
well as historical records, analysing the several unique aspects of this change (2012). They also
provide a definition for dietary transition- ‘a gradual shift from traditional, preindustrial diets
3
dominated by plant foods to a new pattern of intakes that includes more animal foodstuffs, more fats
more sugar, and a greater variety of processed foods’. This transition, along with the gradual
consolidation of areas producing only certain types of crops in monocrop systems are argued to be the
these factors causing genetic erosion (Brush 2008) within Japanese agriculture.
Research questions and Hypothesis
The following research questions are aimed at understanding crop diversity during the Edo period,
and explaining the current situation. There is a focus on the Seikei Zusetsu, but I also aim to provide
broader context for the purpose of the research.
1.
Which crop species, landraces and local names are mentioned in the Seikei Zusetsu?
2. How many of these plants are currently used in Japan? Are there any ‘forgotten vegetables’?
3. What is the utility of the Seikei Zusetsu crop plants in modern Japan?
The main hypothesis in this research project is that more than half of the plants identified in the
Seikei Zusetsu are expected to be no longer cultivated in significant amounts in present-day Japan. It
is thought that crop diversity in Japan will be subjected to the same forces that are leading to a global
decline in the genetic diversity of crops in mainstream agriculture. Typified by the Green Revolution,
the current paradigm in agriculture centred around intensive mono-cropping systems is a strong
selector for broadly adapted, high-yield crops to the exclusion of varieties adapted to local conditions
(Siebert 2011). This is seen as problematic for agriculture over a longer time span of decades, as it
contributes to the reduced capability of farm production systems to react to sub-optimal conditions
(climate change, low-inputs, sloping land) or unexpected shocks to the system (Lin 2011; Liebman
and Schulte 2015) .
Methods
All colour illustrations of crops in the Seikei Zusetsu were
digitized as high resolution images (see Figure 1 for an example).
A database of all the plants illustrated in this manner in the
Seikei Zusetsu was created. More specifically, the plants consist
of those in the itsutsu-no-tanatsu-mono section (五穀部,five
cereal crops section), which groups the major cereal crops and
pulses together, and the sosai section ( 蔬 菜 部 ,vegetables
section), which groups all the other cultivated crops. There are a
Figure 1: An example of an illustrated page4from
the Seikei Zusetsu
total of 143 illustrated pages in these two sections, with 191 individual illustrations. Information from
each of the images was entered into an Excel spreadsheet, which can be seen in Appendix 1. The
following information was recorded from the original pictures: name in kanji characters as indicated
in the picture, katakana characters indicating pronunciation, Latin binomial names wherever
indicated, as well as the common English name of the plant as identified from the picture. In order to
make the results accessible, the meaning of each kanji character was given in English to facilitate the
understanding of the local nomenclature. A transliteration of the katakana was also provided to aid
pronunciation of the Japanese names. Dutch names transliterated in Japanese katakana script were
also recorded and translated into current Dutch, a working list of which is shown in Appendix 2.
Scientific names for each plant were retrieved from the internet and agricultural literature (Aoba 2013;
Aoba 1981; Michishige Otake 2009a), and where available, links to the English Wikipedia page or
other suitable links have been entered in the table. Plants belonging to the Cucurbitaceae and several
pulses were shown to botanical specialists at Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Each of the binomial
names was checked on the website Plantlist.org, in order to record the most up-to-date names. The
current family name of each of the crops was also recorded in a separate column. Information about
current use is limited to the plant part used, mainly relying on research by Takashi Aoba into
‘traditional vegetables’ (Aoba 2013). Finally, all the images used during this research have been added
as thumbnails in Appendix 3. Further information that is compiled will be disseminated through an
online platform, either a website in Linnaeus 2.0, an online database format created by Naturalis or
the format of the respository of the Special Collections of the Leiden University library, in which the
high-resolution images of the illustrations with accompanying explanations will be displayed.

Results
After the datasheet was compiled, several analyses were carried out to understand the diversity
shown in the variety of crops that are illustrated. The Seikei Zusetsu has illustrations of crops from 29
different plant families, as shown in Figure 2. The vertical axis denotes the number of times a member
of each family is included. The most diverse families were the Poaceae family with 35 images and the
Brassicaceae with 29 images. Nine plant families just have one crop each.
A count of the number of species revealed that there are 109 distinct species, out of which 84 are
included with only one cultivar. Error! Reference source not found. shows the remaining 25 species,
along with the number of illustrations (or entries) per species. This number generally corresponds to
the number of cultivars that are recorded. In some cases however, such as for rice (Oryza sativa) and
lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), illustrations include different parts used, or interesting mutations. There is
not much difference in the number of cultivars recorded for Oryza sativa (9), Setaria italica (7) and
Panicum miliaceum (6), suggesting that these grains were of similar importance in the diet. Nelumbo
nucifera is an outlier here; the book goes into details about each part of the lotus plant that is
consumed, and less into the different cultivars available.

We see that the daikon radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) has the highest number of cultivars with 12,
followed closely by turnips and leafy vegetables (Brassica rapa). When looking into the various names
of the radish and turnip cultivars, we learn more about their origins. Seven plants had local names
associated with them, indicating that they are likely to be landraces. There were four types of radish
and three types of turnips (Table 1). Some of these cultivar names are recognised even today, such as
the Sakurajima daikon (no. 1). Interestingly, the morphology of this radish has changed dramatically
6
from the image that is shown in the Seikei
Zusetsu, indicating that the process of the
creation of new cultivars has continued.

There were 13 different plants with names that suggest foreign origin (Table 2). Some of them, like the
Bohai eggplant and maize (‘Bead Sichuan Sorghum’), might originate from specific areas, in this case
the surroundings of the Bohai sea (near Beijing) and the Sichuan area in China. Others indicate
general directions and varying degrees of foreign-ness.

The Chinese character ‘胡’ suggests areas to the North and the West of China. The character ‘番’ is often
used in Japanese as a way of denoting something of foreign , usually Western origin. The name of Spinacia
oleracea is thought to originate from Sanskrit, a language associated with the Indian subcontinent, possibly
indicating that the vegetable too, came from this region. The remaining names indicate cardinal
geographic directions like south and west. The directions of east and north are rarely used, given
Japan’s position in the Far East and that few crops grow north of Hokkaido. Some of the crops listed
in the Seikei Zusetsu are also accompanied by a mention within the text of the foreign name (hanmei,
蕃名), which is the Dutch name of the crop written down in katakana script. A total of 93 items have
been recorded in Dutch in the Seikei Zusetsu, most likely by Rangaku scholars working with Dutch
books on plants. They would have had at their disposal books like Rembert Dodoens’s ‘Cruijdeboeck’
(1660)5and knowledge shared by scholars like Thunberg6 as a source for consulting on the Dutch
names of the various plants in the Seikei Zusetsu (Marcon 2015). A comprehensive list of all Dutch
names is given in Appendix 4. Not all the 93 names are of crops, with some describing plant parts and
morphological characteristics, meaning that there is mention of 62 different species of plants. We
were able to translate a total of 77 of these names into modern Dutch, of which 64 can be connected
back to modern Dutch names. For six of the remaining 13 names, we were not sure, and five were
misidentifications probably due the fact that some Japanese plants were absent from the books of
reference.

A look at some of the Dutch names allows us to draw some interesting preliminary conclusions (Table
4). The scientific names on the right of the table indicate plants that were common in Europe in the
17th and 18th centuries, and were recorded in the various books on botany available at that time. A look
at Allium sativum suggests that the common garlic was considered to be a wild plant (wilde look). The

either Thunberg or his Japanese counterparts.

Amaranthus tricolor is identified ‘grote majer’, most likely relying on an
illustration (Figure 5) from Dodoen’s Cruijdeboeck that indicates the name as
‘groot majer’ (Majer, Amaranthus Oleraceus 2016). The remaining 16 names for
which we could not find any close match in modern Dutch are considered to be
unidentified and future work is required to find out if these names were
accurate.
To answer the main research question of how many of Sekei Zusetsu’s crops
are currently being cultivated in Japan, a comparison was done with data
obtained from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), in
order to see whether these cultivars are still grown in significant amounts. A
crop was considered to be grown in significant quantities if data existed about
Figure 5: Illustration of
Amaranthus blitum from
the Cruijdeboeck
its cultivation area in the MAFF statistics at any point during from the year
1966 to the year 2014. Of the 109 crop species mentioned in the Seikei Zusetsu, 50 species fulfilled this
criteria, with 24 being classified as major crops and the remaining 26 as ‘regional’ (Chiiki tokusan 地
域特産) crops. This left 59 crops that were not covered by surveys, and can be considered as not
being grown in significant quantities for food. Not all of these 59 crops can be classified as ‘forgotten’;
some of them are not grown in Japan because of competition from cheaper imports from other
countries (e.g sesame, Sesamum indicum), or are known as wild plants but not cultivated (so-called
sansai, mountain greens). Nevertheless, many of these plants are indeed ‘forgotten’ food crops due to a
variety of causes. Several of the 19th century forgotten vegetables are now considered weeds: Capsella
bursa-pastoris, Chenopodium album, and Taraxacum japonicum are examples of such plants. Post-war
affluence in Japan has influenced consumption patterns, prompting a shift away from famine grains
like Setaria viridis and Panicum miliaceum. Verscheur and Cobcroft (2016) suggest that such grains were
9
considered to be poor people’s food, with milled rice being the most favoured source of dietary
carbohydrates. Changes in cultivation practices and land-use have led to the decline of marsh crops
like Trapa japonica and Eleocharis kuroguwai as swamps are drained and reclaimed to make more
cultivable soils.
Discussion
While it was shown that a little under half of the crops mentioned in the Seikei Zusetsu are still
cultivated in Japan, their future is not reassuring. Figure 6 is an overview of crops that are listed in the
Seikei Zusetsu with an area larger than 1000 hectares in 2010. These top 11 crops have gradual
downward trends showing that areas under cultivation for most vegetables is gradually declining,
with Brassica rapa the only plant to experience growth over the years.
Figure 6: Overview of Changes in Area Under Cultivation for crops with Areas of 1000 hectares or
more in 2010, over the period 1966-2012 (Data from MAFF)
The situation looks less stable for the lesser crops. Figure 7 shows the trends for crops that had areas
in the range of 200 hectares to 1000 ha in 2010, with many of them showing precipitous declines over

the years. Lagenaria siceraria areas, for example, have declined from around 3000 hectares in the years
following the end of WWII to just above 200 hectares in 2012. Crops like Perilla frutescens and Zingiber
mioga are unique to Japanese consumer preferences and can only be met by local production, given
their perishability.
For the 19 crops that were only grown on areas of less than 200 hectares in 2010 (Figure 8), the
situation is the gravest. It is possible that their areas decline as more cultivated land is used for the
major crops. Some of these plants are consumed only in Japan, like Sagittaria trifolia, an indispensable
part of traditional Japanese cooking for New Year’s. Wasabi (Eutrema japonica) is known across the
world in its role as the pungent accompaniment of sushi, but much of the wasabi that is consumed
today is actually horse-radish (Armoracia rusticana) coloured green to look like its rarer counterpart
(Smil and Kobayashi 2012).

Gradual decline is also seen in the major crops (see Appendix 6 for further details), but there is less
danger of these vegetables becoming forgotten. Instead, the danger lies elsewhere: the increasing
reliance on imports to support the demand for these crops. The Observatory for Economic
Complexity (2014) reports that Japan imported vegetable products worth 19.8 billion USD, with the
top 5 imports being corn (17% of total value), wheat (8.7%), soybeans, coffee and rapeseed (see Error!
Reference source not found.). Frozen and dried vegetables together account for 5.5% of the total
value of imports ( 2014).
The effects of this consumption are felt across the globe, as Japan seeks to satiate its appetite for food
by importing, most notably from China and the US. Almost 90% of soybeans used in Japan, for
example, come from the US (63%), Brazil (18%) and Canada (16%).
Some of the highly diverse crops in Seikei Zusetsu, such as the Brassicaceae, indicate that they were
an important aspect of Japan’s agriculture. Agroecologically, turnips and radishes are a useful risk
11
mitigation crop, following rice in a crop rotation scheme and thus able to augment any shortages that
might arise from a bad harvest. Some of them have a delayed maturation, allowing them to overwinter
in the field, providing a source of nutrition in the early spring (Aoba 2013). They store well if dried
properly, and can be used in various pickles (tsukemono) to be used in lean periods. They are conducive
to open pollination, and can be used to create landraces that bear characteristics that make them
highly adapted to the local situation. They are also one of the first crops to be planted in swidden
agriculture, owing to their high adaptability: turnips were grown in almost all of the mountainous
areas in Japan during the Edo Period (Watanabe 2012). The array of different grain crops allowed for
survival in the different climatic regions that prevailed in Japan. Although rice was the preferred grain,
these different millets and barley were essential components of the diet (Verschuer and Cobcroft
2016; Smil and Kobayashi 2012). Their uses were mainly for augmenting rice, added to porridges with
a vegetable soup as a flavour base. The persistence of some vegetables can only be explained by social
preferences: Sagittaria trifolia has fallen out of use in most other societies where they were included in
the diet (Garibaldi and Turner 2004), but in Japan, their use in ceremonial dishes has ensured that
they are is still a demand for these vegetables. Not all plants were as lucky, and end up becoming
forgotten, fading out of existence or persisting as ‘useless weeds’ . Some of the crops mentioned in the
Seikei Zusetsu are thriving elsewhere. Plants like the proso millet and sorghum are being touted as
grains that will help increase productivity in arid areas. Celtuce is considered a delicacy in China,
while kales are well-known in juice bars across Europe. The various legumes mentioned here are
important components in efforts to sustainably intensify cropping systems across sub-Saharan Africa
(N2Africa, 2016)
This research also shows that high levels of genetic diversity were a defining characteristic of
agriculture in Tokugawa Japan, a period that can be considered as being ‘traditional’ . This has led
them to be called traditional vegetables, which are associated with low yields and crops with
variability in shape and size, making them unsuitable for mass-marketing (Watanabe 2012). This
association creates the impression that these genetic varieties are impractical and of only sentimental
value, and lead to the conclusion that such varieties, if conserved at all, should be stored ex situ.
However, the efficacy of this kind of emergency approach is still to be seen (Kosaka and Tomiyoshi
2015). It can also obscure the reasoning ‘that maintaining diversity is an active and purposeful part of
farm management’ in order to deal with the uncertainty and randomness associated with
environmental conditions on the farm (Brush 2008). Genetic erosion is an inevitable part of the way
in which plant resources are used in mainstream agriculture. ‘The narrow segment of modern society
that is involved in crop breeding focuses on the creation of marketable seed stocks that will grow
under controlled, uniform conditions over wide geographic areas’ (Oldfield and Alcorn 1991).
12
In contrast to the narrow definition of crop resources that is protected through ex situ seed banks,
crop resources can also be defined in a broader way, incorporating ‘co-evolutionary relationships
between different types of populations (e.g., crop, pathogen, human), indigenous knowledge, and
farmer seed management’ (Brush 2008). Such crop resources are recognised as ‘living cultural
treasures’ in the Yamagata prefecture, in the north of Japan. Through the efforts of researchers like
Takashi Aoba (Aoba 1981) and Hiroaki Egashira (Watanabe 2012), nearly 160 varieties of landraces
have been identified here, all of them adapted to the long winters that characterise this region.
Research in other areas of Japan has yielded several groups of heirloom varieties that are widely
known. Examples of these groups include Edoyasai ( 江 戸 野 菜 , vegetables from Old
Tokyo)(Michishige Otake 2009b), and Kyoyasai (京野菜, vegetables from Kyoto area ). The effect of
these crops has been a revival of interest in agriculture, of local identity, and the value of the
knowledge and practices surrounding the production of food. Indeed, these vegetables are acting as a
catalyst in the revival of agriculture in the regions where they were originally found (Michishige
Otake 2009b; Tomoko Otake 2009). Such in situ conservation efforts are better able to meet the
objectives of seed conservation, for the real value of diversity is realised only when put into action and
kept as opportunities and resources for future generations (Oldfield and Alcorn 1991). Brush (2008)
suggests that conservation methods can succeed if they ‘add incremental value to landraces in selected
environments and farming systems rather than posing… as an alternative to modern crops for all
farmers’. Identifying crops in the Seikei Zusetsu may help in the identification of similarly valuable
crops. Different processing methods mentioned in the texts can also provide a glimpse into the usage
of these crops, which may seem exotic to the current generations in Japan. They may serve as the focal
point around which new agroecological practices are based, as well as a source of cultural pride.
There is scope for future research within the Seikei Zusetsu. Each plant was also accompanied by long
lists of regional names, including names from mainland China. These were beyond the scope of this
research project, but future in-depth agronomic and linguistic research can help unearth the common
agricultural heritage of China and Japan. The Seikei Zusetsu is not limited to plants; the first 15
volumes deal with topics like agricultural practices and food preparation and ceremonies associated
with foods, as well as the different agricultural implements that were in use. Research into landraces
and open pollination are also urgently required. The Seikei Zusetsu does not make distinctions
between cultivars and species, recording information without distinguishing between these two. It is
important to learn from this approach the importance afforded to cultivars, and recognise them for
the repositories of practice and knowledge that they are. A formal record or registry for cultivars is
urgently required, one that does not belong solely to seed companies that are able to patent their own
cultivars. This would recognise the contribution of farmers to crop diversity produced through open
pollination, and provide a record of landraces cultivated across Japan. These vegetables also provide
the gateway to local practices regarding cultivation, preservation and preparation (Watanabe 2012).
13
The profusion of confusing and overlapping categories like heirloom varieties, forgotten vegetables,
traditional vegetables and landraces pose a challenge for those intending to make use of these
vegetables to promote agriculture. Kohsaka and Tomiyoshi (2015) voice concerns over the process of
formalisation of these categories, and how they would be safeguarded. Cultivars exist in a delicate
balance between uniformity and diversity, and this creates confusion within laws that protect the
creators’ rights but also try to spur innovation. Further research would benefit smallholder farmers
who plan to utilise these vegetables, as well as consumers keen to be part of conservation efforts.
Conclusion
The utility of the Seikei Zusetsu crops has been discussed extensively in the discussion section above,
but it is worth reiterating here that they serve as a repository of valuable knowledge, and also act as a
gateway to further inquiries into the nature of the agricultural systems we promote in the 21 st century.
They can serve as a focal point around which efforts to create a new agrarianism are made.
Ecologically smarter farming systems and the marketing of high-value crops are viable strategies that
will interest anybody keen on ensuring the survival of distinctive food cultures.
One of the main hypotheses in the research into this encyclopedia was that more than half of the
plants in the Seikei Zusetsu were no longer cultivated in Japan. With records for 50 out of the 109
crop species, this hypothesis has proven to be correct, but by a narrower margin than expected. One
reason for this is that counts of cultivars were left out. It was difficult to include a comparison of
cultivars as there was not one repository or register that could be consulted to ascertain the current
diversity in cultivars. At the same time, the significance of the fact a span of two centuries is enough
to lead to a situation where more than half of the species that were once considered to be crops are
not cultivated in significant amounts. Efforts should be made to rehabilitate these ‘forgotten
vegetables’ in order to raise the productivity and adaptability of agricultural land, as well as to
support agriculture in marginal areas. As with other species, once lost, we will not be recovering these
treasures again.
