Speaking of a symbol of Kagoshima prefecture is an active volcano named Mt.Sakurajima. She is too vigorous, and sometimes breaks window glass by her shock wave. Especially, a number of eruption increases and increases and breaks the record every year in these days. The ash fall by more than enough energy every day. People cannot hung the washing out house to dry in the ash falling area. And if they forget wash their car every day, the car will be out of order. There are the ash leased garbage dump, but the collection is only once a month and a heap of ash is interfering. Even the driver put on the brakes early, the car slip into intersection with the red light. It occur the power failure often. The Mt.Sakurajima small mikan have failed by a lot of ash. If the contact lenses are used, ash enter between eyes and lenses and give a heavy pain. Yes, people are troubled with ash.
 But some new practical use method is inventing now, and the nuisance ash change some convenient materials. After Hokkaodou prefecture brings potato on the ship, bring ash on the return ship to Hokkaidou. They scatter ash on the road covered snow, snd snow melt away. And the soap is made from ash. The ash plate is used for stone sauna. The pottery use as a material. People can think any other method.
 The first photo is a excavation game in our shop. We bury some small dolls, and children play to excavate. The third photo is the ground under Mt.Sakurajima. the ground is coverd by ash completely. The second photo is ash without impurities. It is the sold ash. A pack weights about 50g. The impurities, for example the root of the plant, sometimes mix. When we find out them, we remove them. But it may be incomplete.
