Abstract

This paper aims to collect the records of the Minmaya Pear ── which is now extinct, but ap-pears on various kinds of records ── available and to make its historical presence. As a result, it was made the following summary: Minmaya pear was a specialty fruit of the Tsugaru region during the Edo period, but it was no longer cultivated after the Meiji period. Around the Genroku period, a tree that had sprouted at Araya-Kanbei's house in Minmaya Village was grown and produced delicious pear fruit, so the Hirosaki clan came to manage it. When the harvest season came, the fruit status was reported and officials came and harvested the fruit. At first, this tree was only cultivated in Minmaya, but through grafting, the number and location of cultivation in-creased, and it became widely planted within the domain. The fruit is large and sweet, and is thought to be a type of Chinese pear based on its shape. Minmaya pears were so prized that they were sent to Edo and presented to executives and officials of the shogunate, but as apple cultivation became popular in the Tsugaru region in the Meiji period, they disappeared.
