Nobesawa Ginzan
was a silver mine, located in what is now part of the city of Obanazawa, Yamagata in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan. It is now closed, and the site was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1966. Overview The Nobesawa silver mine was opened in 1457, during the Muromachi period of Japanese history, during the reign of Emperor Hanazono. During the Sengoku period, the mine came under the control of Mogami Yoshiaki, and silver from the mine helped to finance his battles against the Date clan. Silver from the mine was paid as tribute to Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1598, at which time it was claimed that the output of the mine rivaled that of the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine. After the establishment of the Edo period Tokugawa shogunate, the Mogami were dispossessed, and the mine came under the control of Torii Tadamasa, the '' daimyō'' of Yamagata Domain. The Torii clan expanded operations at the mine, opening a new shaft and employing more miners. However, after 1636 t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Former Mines In Japan
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the ad ...

Silver Mines In Japan
Silver is a chemical element with the symbol Ag (from the Latin ', derived from the Proto-Indo-European ''h₂erǵ'': "shiny" or "white") and atomic number 47. A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it exhibits the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal. The metal is found in the Earth's crust in the pure, free elemental form ("native silver"), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite. Most silver is produced as a byproduct of copper, gold, lead, and zinc refining. Silver has long been valued as a precious metal. Silver metal is used in many bullion coins, sometimes alongside gold: while it is more abundant than gold, it is much less abundant as a native metal. Its purity is typically measured on a per-mille basis; a 94%-pure alloy is described as "0.940 fine". As one of the seven metals of antiquity, silver has had an enduring role in most human cultures.
