The former samurai soldiers Tondenhei soldiers had tough time in pioneering the new island and develop their land and treasures. With axes, plows, hammers, spades, they cut the huge trees in the forest and made plain.
Of course, they had to maintain their guns, rifles and swords to fight against huge brown bears and deer. They had to join the battalion to protect the island from Russia.
The first Mayor of Asahikawa City was former Major General of the Imperial Army of Japan. They made the most of their former imperial army engineers to build large bridges in Asahikawa City.
