These vegetables have served to create the food culture of the region in its special geographic position, surrounded by mountains. Beside these traditional green vegetables, there are many other kinds now being raised in Kyoto, including the ones imported from Europe in the Meiji Period. Vegetables are sown and raised by people. It might seem therefore that it would be easy to see their flowers, but, because most are harvested before they bloom and considering the recent trend towards farm lands being rapidly covered by housing projects, it is not that easy. If land development continues in this way, I am very afraid that eventually the day will come when we can't see any farm land at all. Just like insects, fish and grass which have disappeared through the destruction of the natural environment, one day dump trucks will carry away the top soil and even our vegetables will disappear from the countryside.
