"Mount Tsurugi Chronicle of Geodetic Stations" "To produce topographic maps are arranged triangulation points, on which is counted." "This is the story of the creation of such items." "The more established settlements, the more detailed map can be obtained." "Today reported 106 000 such points." "Thanks to the surveyors who have devoted their lives installation of such items, life comes back to where previously it is no way it was." "Autumn of 1906 (39th year of Meiji)" "Everything to me!" "There is." "Theodolite set on the target, and measured values ​​should be double." "Second measurement reduces the chance of error." "But!" "Good morning!" "His Excellency Mr. Ookubo awaits you with impatience." "Measurement of horizontal angles on a clear day ..." "The results of the Russian-Japanese war show a clear superiority of our troops." "But the combined forces of Russia and France plan to invade the Korean peninsula." "If all goes so it is clear that their next order will be our country." "Therefore, it is time to strengthen protecting our homeland." "We urgently need to get accurate data on our territory" "Geodetic works important for the army very important to reach the climbing on top of previously unexplored and to establish points of triangulation there" "Measurements are made over 30 years map of Japan and will soon be completed." "I would like to believe this, but ..." "Sibasaki-kun I hope for your understanding." "In order to complete development of Japan's defense urgently needed measurement of the central part of the mountains Tsurugi" "This is the last vertex in which up to now nobody has been before." "The army leadership has set us the task of next year to measurement of the central part of Mount Tsurugi." "Sibasaki!" "You have to climb the mountain Tsurugi." "Rise to a vertex with the equipment you can only ..." "And to do it urgently needs." "As Japanese society climbers announced that it intends to soon to conquer the peak of Tsurugi" "If it turns out that the last unclimbed peak the first will win the people which is just entertainment," "Department of the Army Survey will be covered with shame." "What do you think, Sir?" "If our Department of Geodesy will not do so this will be the biggest nuisance." "We do not have the right not to mistake." "So, it was decided." "Recently ran into Usuy Kojima of the Japanese Society for climbers" "They seem to collect information for climbing Tsurugi?" "All we can give them today this is a rough map of the area Tateyama on the basis of paragraphs 1 and 2 class." "Is the Japanese Society of climbers really ready for this?" "Yes, last year the company began actively pursue climbing." "They do not behave as the rich, to arrange a walk in the mountains." "They use the latest advances climbing equipment." "They conquer peaks, one after another for the sake of fame and glory." "We do not let them jump on us?" "Yes" "Question may be raised combat the spirit of the military-topographical department." "We can not afford to lose community of climbers." "We first go up to Mount Tsurugi!" "We need to create in the Tateyama network triangulation third class." "Sibasaki!" "We must do it at all costs!" "DESCRIPTION OF Triangulation SECOND CLASS" "Quickmarch!" "Next stop Kamidabasi" "Here I am." "Welcome back!" "What we have today for dinner?" "What do you prefer fish or meat?" "The fish." "Fish?"

"Unfortunately, Mr. Furuta went to school for archery." "Wish to be called to it?" "No, I will try to find it myself." "I thoroughly studied your description surveying of the district Tateyama" "Is that so?" "Again, try to climb Tsurugi?" "Yes" "This mountain has extremely steep slopes" "I also tried to climb, but could not find a passage" "It is known that many have tried to rise, but all have failed, and some were killed." "It should find a good conductor." "Such a person ..." "I think we can found among the inhabitants of the village Asikuradzi." "No-no." "The inhabitants Asikuradzi there is a belief" "Tateyama mountains that - it Buddhist mandala." "There is a heaven and hell." "In this scheme, Tsurugi - mountain of death." "Therefore, people are not allowed rise to it." "It is believed that one who goes by Tsurugi neglects the beliefs Tateyama mountains in holiness." "Hence, we should be cautious."

"This is a man who Mount your gut feeling." "He has no such bias to Tsurugi, as the residents Asikuradzi." "If you want, I'll write him a letter." "Yes, I would be happy." "All right." "I ask." "Thank you." "I was 3 years away from a Survey, and then went to be with you at Tsurugi." "Someday someone will conquer this mountain." "It makes no sense to rush things."

"Thank you." "He is healthy." "Mr. Furuta said to me, that totally trusts you." "Really?" "Yes." "Well it's time to go." "Yes." "Thank you." "5 years ago, we set triangulation points elsewhere." "The next year, starting the spring in six months in this unexplored place on each ri (2 km) will install the signs." "In high-rise points on the basis of accurate measurements, set the Class 3." "This year our goal - it is preliminary examination of the Mount Tsurugi." "So to climb the mountain?" "That's it." "Of course, it is impossible to make measurements no climbing on the mountain." "These measurements - very important for state business ..." "But as the village Asikura?" "I think tomorrow should be cause there a courtesy visit." "After all former expeditions Asikura village was the main base." "Without such a visit, we did not be able to take in the future." "By hiring workers who think we should just give them the money."

"Then I, despite their age, could take part." "And I instruct you Young Nobu." "Nobu!" "Congratulations on your marriage!" "I hope you're happy." "Sibasaki-san, you're too married a year ago?" "Yeah, but half of this year Sibasaki spent in the mountains." "How terrible to be the wife of the chief!" "That's why I did not marry." "Interestingly, you get married Have you ever or not?" "I'm getting married!" "We have been married since Sibasaki-san and ready to do business." "I am happily married." "Already passed 8 months." "You are expecting a baby?" "I congratulate you."

"Well, nothing." "At the Forest Service has an objection." "Last year, the exploration, you realize that you can not climb." "In spite of this ..." "You claim that you need to climb Tsurugi on to produce accurate maps." "But is this really true?" "Tedziro, you understand me?" "So." "We're going to make concessions to you." "But we do not want new challenges." "Of your affairs we do not have nothing but a headache." "Sorry, you Sibasaki-san Department of surveying?" "Yes." "I'm from Toyama Nippo newspaper." "My name is Usiyama." "I hear you want to climb a mountain Tsurugi." "I can not tell you." "After all this time you are going to the first to ascend the Tsurugi." "I believe that the Department of Geodesy necessarily outperform Alpine Club." "It's too dangerous." "I'm sorry." "People in the village and the municipality only talk about it." "For the accuracy of the maps in the first place need to place items of triangulation." "To install the items you need to choose place at 1 RI of each other (~ 4km) ." "Item is a tower under which lay the stone." "Indicators point to measured in several ways." "Then you carefully calculate height and position of the item." "Why climb the mountain?" "If the tower will not be visible from all sides, measurements to be impossible." "In this scheme are already fixed points of the 1st and 2nd class." "And this scheme we to refine and improve, through the development of third-class and possibly the 4th grade." "All clear?" "So, six months just to to install a tower in one place." "Geodesic signs must installed in 27 locations." "In the 27 locations?" "Our goal - to make an accurate map." "Towers is important to set high ground, visible from everywhere." "In addition, the need to deliver there all the materials for the towers." "For this to work we need to will hire more workers." "The work will be for everyone." "Will pay 60 sen per day." "Something is not enough." "Kinsaku!" "Kyuuemon!" "Here are acquainted, Kinsaku Miyamoto, Tsurudziro Iwamoto, Kyuuemon Yamaguchi." "They agreed to help us." "I Esitaro Sibasaki from the Department of Surveying." "It's nice to meet you." "Tedziro-san, are you ready?" "Yes." "Kinsaku, get stuff." "It is your own?" "Yes." "In the mountains, the most important." "Takekiti-san, we Tedziro with ... be welcome Asikura villagers." "Well, then we are carrying the load Let us go forward." " Kinsaku you in charge." " Good." "Let's go!" "This Kinsaku knows best mountains." "I am very sorry that the payment is small, but it is strictly defined by the state." "In fact, the amount is sufficient." "But we expect such difficulties." "Uncle!" "Uncle, you do not go Mount Tsurugi!" "It's forbidden!" "Do not you understand?" "You can not do that." "You always do only what what you want." "And you too, why you need it?" "You're crazy!" "Shut up!" "We climb a mountain, not to climb!" "Do not you understand?" "Please forgive him." "For him, climbing the mountain Tsurugi - a violation of the law of their ancestors." "Tedziro-san, can I ask from you is impossible?" "No, just this guy ... always spoils everything." " Please, excuse me." " Nothing." "Well, let's go." "I'm sorry." "Tedziro-san." "Yes." "Tedziro-san Take, please." "Blizzard still going." "Do not worry, tomorrow will be over." "Kinsaku-san, you eat?" "I'm sorry." "This instrument - the most important thing that we have." "If broken, then the work would be impossible." "For measuring theodolite set exactly on the target tower." "Thus define the first point, followed by the others." "Today, we must affirm the values ​​of Class 2 points established by Mr. Furuta." "using a theodolite." "This mountain of Yakushi-dake." "Mr. Furuta was not easy establish a point of triangulation there." "Yes, of course" "Well, let's begin." "So, April 24, 1907, the first day of geodetic measurements." "April 24, 1907, the first day of geodetic measurements." "Measured point of the 1st class Mount Tateyama."

"Mr. Nobu, our task - it not only climb Tsurugi." "We climb the mountains for the installation triangulation points 3rd class." "Topographic reconnaissance conducted in a certain order." "So far, about Mount Tsurugi There can be no question." "But   Department of Geodesy asking us to hurry." "Is climbing Tsurugi no more important task?" "Nobu, think what you say." "We do not forgive mistakes." "Sibasaki-san, you know." "KIKANASU TEDOSTERO ..." "What?" "At my home in Yamagata it meant, "Be obedient."" "Instead of climbing the mountain just look at his pipe." "I did not think the work will be easier." "What are you talking about?" "It is enough that we have to carry such weight." "Are not that of gravity." "Rumor has it that the Alpine Club also go to Tsurugi." "They say they will pay daily for 20 sen more." "Really?" "Nice to us too little added." "The amount of payment is strictly defined by the state." "Tedziro-san, you went against all." "You did not listen Elders from Asikura." "They are not allowed to walk Mount Tsurugi."

"Everyone says that the department Survey will be the first." "Do you think you have a chance to win?" "If we do not believe in victory, we would not come." "Now we move into the area Vasidake, and there finish the work on geodesic exploration." "After that, proceed to install new points of triangulation." "Group Kinsaku-san go down the pass Dzar." "and meet with Takekiti-san Tateyama in the hot springs." "Then at different locations will establish points of triangulation." "Need your help in the construction of signal towers." "The three of us go around Vasidake On the other hand." "Go to Hot Springs?" "So we're going to Vasidake, and now to the hot springs do not have time to return." "For the three of us have enough one small tent." "Well." "Have a nice day." "Prior to the meeting." "Still time to today get here." "We must quickly descend" "Looks matter." "What's on the barometer?" "So what?" "The pressure falls." "And right and left only the white mirage, it is not clear where to go." "Maybe stop and wait yet clear." "Hey, where are our tracks?" "I do I do not see." "We do not get lost?" "If we lose our traces, then the road will not be able to find." "Nobu!" "Sibasaki-san, I'll see." " Do you think there?" " I think so." "Hey, where is he?" "Nobu!" "Why worry?" "I believe in intuition Tedziro-san." "But he lost his way." "If this goes on ..." "If there is someone who knows about the mountains all it Tedziro-san." "Here-and-a!" "Hurry up!" "Take away until soaked." "Oh, falling." "Please, I beg." "Let's take." "Sorry, we had to you call." "We have opened a hotel only 4-5 days ago." "And when we have to descend all the rest?" "They wanted to finish the measurement, and then come here." "I can not imagine where they are gone." "Can you stay?" "Of course, of course." "Here are the guests." "But!" "And where Sibasaki-san?" "After climbing to Vasidake ..." "They spent the night on the pass Dzar." "Is that so?" "Such a heavy rain." "How do you cope?" "Kinsaku-san, with Nobu's all right?" "Thank you." "Tedziro-san." "Forgive me." "You saved us ..." "What are you ..." "I'm really lost our tracks." "I helped the snow grouse." "Partridge?" "Partridge protect their territory and give a signal to other birds." "Voice of the partridge ran the god of the mountain." "Such heavy rain rarely happens in this time of year." "Climb inside!" "Hurry up!" "Both of you climb inside!" "I beg you, climb inside." "Let it drop." "While you are trying to keep it outside, she can fly." "That's it." "Take this rack!" "Sibasaki-san!" "Hey!" "Tedziro-san!" "Tedziro-san!" "Nobu-san!" "Nobu-san!" "Nobu-san!" "You're alive?" "Hold on to me!" "All are alive?" "Let's try!" "Well, how are you?" "Sibasaki-san!" "All intact." "The horror!" "So cold ..." "Where is it?" "You came to their senses ..." "What happened to Nobu?" "He had fever, but a day or two otlezhitsya and everything goes." "Tablet and notepad are safe?" "A little wet, but read all you can." "It stopped expedition of surveyors." "They also raised here." "Hence, perhaps, can be made only in this valley." "To get to that rock need 2 or even 3 days." "If the surveyors went there, and then to us in that direction." "No, Okano-kun." "I think we have to go through the valley Murod in the direction of the ridge Tsurugi." "Okano-kun!" "I'm fine!" "Thank god." "Had passed." "Ah ..." "Where are going?" "We are the hunters from the village of Ooyama." "And you go by Babadzima?" "What do you think the weather will be tomorrow?" "Masaru what?" "I do not know." "Here's how ..." "Be careful." "You have got this far." "We arrived in Tokyo, to climb Mount Tsurugi." "What foolishness!" "That's stupid ..." "Oh, the bear." "Where are you shot him?" "The day before yesterday in the Higashi-ootani." "And what did you sell it or eat it?" "Have not yet decided ..." "A couple of days ago ..." "We met in the mountains, a group of people." "It must be a club of climbers." "We must conclude geodetic survey." "Now we need to establish signal towers." "And when we go to Mount Tsurugi?" "Well ..." "All in good time." "Climbers have reached Babadzima and went to Murod." "We need to continue." "Tedziro-san, I must ask for your forgiveness." "In the blizzard we just not paid with their lives." "Everyone can take a wrong decision." "But ... in a variety of issues in my opinion believe in your actions and doubt." "Forgive me." "No, no." "Mount Tsurugi - this is not something what we were doing it all the time." "Kojima-san, I'm sorry." "Everybody is tired, more climb impossible." "Conditions for climbing are bad." "We are all welcome." "How are the preparations?" "It seems that all materials are finally collected." "Materials for item 4 th grade also are you ready?" "It can happen that will set point of the 4th grade." "Here's how ..." "I got it." "Everything will be done." "Takekiti-san, because we have come to these mountains, to make an accurate map."

"They are now in the valley of the Sava-Tsurugi." "Sibasaki." "And you ..." "What do you think to do next?" "And for the army, and for himself, but you need to climb to the summit." "Uh ..."
