Is there another KAIKEN in YAKUSHIMA?

It is what! There was the male KAI-KEN which was born when KARI is almost same in YAKUSHIMA. It is a quite mysterious relation in narrow YAKUSHIMA. The director of the YAKUSUGI museum Mr. HIGETA is having the KAI-KEN. The name of the KAI-KEN is SHIMA and came from CHIBA Pref. SHIMA is fairly smaller than KARI yet, although her was almost born in the same time. Although SHIMA is a male KARI tried to get on him. They are as if they are reverse a male and female.

Mr. HIGETA was the former cameraman of NHK and transmigrated in YAKUSHIMA Island from TOKYO 20 years ago. He is shooting photographs even now and wrote even several Photograph collection books. There is "The flower and scenery of YAKUSHIMA" in his recent Photograph collection book. His residence is the place in 7, 8 minutes by a car from our new house. Also we are using the YAKUSUGI museum frequently as the guide. We had just guided the one who came here to investigate the present condition of the ecotourism of YAKUSHIMA the other day. However, we did not talk about the KAI-KEN because we did not know that is having the KAI-KEN mutually.

KARI is active even to which dog. But there is the dog which often thinks it troublesomely. However, KARI will come to think how much deed is permitted to the other dog, just playing a little with the dog. KARI and SHIMA play mutually and be fairly good relation. However, after all KARI is excited a little too much and was scolded to SHIMA sometimes.

This time is the most important time for the psychological progress of a puppy. If isolate a puppy in this time and bring up the normal friendship with a life, other persons and dog are not produced and the puppy might become.

dog might stop produced. This evil becomes big in KAI-KEN which has strong wariness especially. Even if there is a little risk they meet many persons and dog from early time and be important to get used to the outside world. After they are born 2 months live with their mother dog and learn the rank of the group. After that they go out outside actively and pile up various experience. Then they grow up to the dog which emotion of balance was able to take.
