Nogi Botanical's roots are "Shonan Lohasuke, born in the Meiji era, who practiced LOHAS"

Nogi Pharmaceutical Research Institute's LOHAS-oriented approach and international activities based on overseas information are based on the existence of the first chairman, Mr. Munetada Yamamuro.
Former Chairman Yamamuro was a British-raised scientist who worked hard to solve vibration problems in aircraft engines during the Greater East Asia War.
After the war, he worked in the turmoil of the munitions industry and became a university professor, devoting himself to developing people with both literary and military talents through academics and sports.
He also provided part of his home as a meeting place for agricultural industry researchers and medical researchers. I enjoyed interacting with scholars.
Although he was blessed with many grandchildren, he learned that there were many problems with the quality and price of the Chinese herbal medicine that his grandchild with atopic dermatitis was looking for, so he proposed importing and developing supplements by providing the funds and space.
He established a small organization within the Tokyo marketing company of which he was chairman for 15 years until his death.


***LOHAS (Lifestyle Of Health and Sustainability) means living a slow life that is considerate of health and the environment.
We call people who practice LOHAS a LOHASKE.

1908: Born in Tokyo
1918: Moved to the United States (New York) while attending Seikei Gakuen Elementary School.

Dulwich has a unique British major department, and I chose the science side (5 years).

1935: After graduating from graduate school and getting married, joined Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagoya Aircraft Works (aviation engine vibration).
1945: The war ends in Matsumoto (Nagano Prefecture), where the Development Department of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagoya Aircraft Works was evacuated.
1947: Moved to Kugenuma, Fujisawa City. This was a time when Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was dismantled and production of household goods such as pans, sickles, and bicycles continued.
1949: Became a professor at Sophia University. Specializes in mathematics and applied physics.
Concurrently serves as a professor in the Department of International Studies. Later, with the establishment of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, he became a professor in the Faculty of Science and Engineering.
1992: Ends his life in Kugenuma, Fujisawa City.

My hobby is sports
The reason why Nogi Botanical encourages sports, which are the foundation of good health, is because Mr. Nogi has been a lifelong sportsman.
Rugby was chosen as the compulsory sport at Dulwich High School in England. At Cambridge University, he is a member of the College Rowing Club's Crescent Club.
He took advantage of his small size to serve as cox for the rowing club, and participated in events such as the Henley Royal Regatta.
A national athlete in Kanagawa Prefecture's 100m track and field in the 40+ category for five consecutive years.
After that, I resumed playing golf, which I love.
Kanagawa Prefecture Track and Field Federation official. Tokyo Olympics official.
At Sophia University, he is the director of the rugby and golf clubs.

Rural life in Kugenuma, Kanagawa Prefecture is a practice of British LOHAS.
After moving from Tokyo to Kugenuma after a period of turmoil, more than half of the garden is devoted to producing crops and eggs.
A group of collaborators produces a wide variety of agricultural products other than rice, including wheat, soybeans, pumpkins, strawberries, watermelons, and peaches.
He lived a quiet life as a professor surrounded by natural agricultural products, and since then he has been striving to popularize healthy foods.
Planning for the production of safe and fresh chicken eggs. We produce over 1,000 eggs per day from over 1,300 chickens raised in our garden.
We import high-quality white leghorns with pedigrees from the United States. Delivered eggs to Hadano's agricultural cooperative, contributing to their spread.
The heart-rich rural life is simple in the British style. More than once, I have been mistaken for a servant while mowing the lawn.
He was a Meiji-born Rohasuke who truly practiced LOHAS.
