Years in Tanabe
 |
Minakata Residence, Tanabe City, Wakayama Pref.: Kumagusu more often than before stayed and conducted his botanical research at home as he got busier receiving visitors and writing articles. It was in this period that he discovered the famous Minakatella longifila Lister from a persimmon tree in his backyard. |
 |
Kashima Island: The 2.99-hectare island located in Tanabe Bay (at north latitude 33° 42’ and east longitude 135° 25’ 50”) was designated as a natural treasure in 1936 thanks to the efforts of Kumagusu. |
