This tobacco field is located in Skansen, adjacent to the Tobacco Museum ( #Snus Museum). Tobacco leaves were growing large in the summer sun.
Pale pink tobacco flowers. Very pretty.
The Snus Museum explains the tobacco and Snus industries, which were major industries in Sweden. The first floor is a cafe and is very stylish.
There is an explanation of how the tobacco leaves produced are dried and then processed into Snus.
I was impressed by the exhibit that explains the history of the past in a fairly authentic manner. Tobacco is now quite tightly regulated in Sweden, and smoking is strictly prohibited in restaurants and other public facilities.
It is hard to imagine today that many such tobacco fields were manufactured in Stockholm and other parts of southern Sweden. It seems that tobacco fields are being grown in Skansen, an outdoor museum, in the sense of creating such a landscape of the past.
Tobacco and Swedish History
Sweden now has the largest population in Scandinavia, and in terms of economic strength, Stockholm functions as the economic hub in Scandinavia and leads the other Nordic countries. At least, that is my understanding.
However, about 150 years ago, in the early 19th century, it was counted as one of the poorest countries in the world. The country experienced an economic crisis in the early 19th century, when 1/4 of the population emigrated to North America and other parts of the world.
Now the news is reporting that Sri Lanka has failed economically as a nation, and that angry citizens have rioted and occupied the presidential palace.
Although the people did not seem to riot, the poor harvest of potatoes, the staple food of Sweden, and the economic crisis caused many people to emigrate to other countries in the past in search of a new life.
Sweden's economy is currently supported by a number of companies, such as Spotify (Music), H&M (Fast fashion, clothes), Ericsson (Telecommunications) and, in recent years, digital companies that use the Internet technologies to provide music (many of K-Pop music were created by Swedish musicians) to other countries. The rise of digital companies contributed significantly to economic growth in Sweden.
So what industries supported Sweden 150 years ago? One of them was the tobacco industry, which is hard to believe today. The tobacco industry in Sweden used to be quite prosperous, with tobacco fields extending all the way to the outskirts of Stockholm. Tobacco was one of the most important industries in Swedish history.
I studied such history during a recent visit to Skansen, an open-air museum. On a previous visit, the curator who explained the history of tobacco and the Swedish industry gave me some tobacco seeds, and I planted them at home to see how they would grow.
It seems that tobacco is also planted in Skansen, and many tobacco leaves were growing nicely in the summer sun. It is full of unbelievable memories to think that this is what the suburbs of Sweden looked like 150 years ago. The pale pink tobacco flowers were so impressive and lovely.
タバコとスウェーデンの歴史
スウェーデンは今では北欧で一番の人口を抱え、経済力でも北欧ではストックホルムが経済的なハブとして機能し他の北欧諸国をけん引する存在になっています。 少なくとも、わたしはそのように理解しています。
しかし、約１５０年前の１９世紀初頭では、世界でも有数の貧困国として数えられており、人口の１/４が北米を中心に移民するといった、経済的危機を経験した国でもあります。
今はニュースでスリランカが国家として経済破綻したと報道しています、そして大統領府に怒りに満ちた国民が暴動をおこし占拠したと報道していました。
国民が暴動を起こすことは起きなかったようですが、主食であるジャガイモの不作や、経済危機に陥ったスウェーデン社会は新しい生活を求めてたくさんの人がかつて他の国へ移民したようです。
現在のスウェーデンの主要経済を支えているのは、Spotifyを代表するタイテク企業、そしてH&Mに代表されれるファッションや衣料企業、Ericssonに代表される通信企業、そして近年では他国への楽曲提供などインターネットを活用したデジタル企業の勃興により経済成長に大きく寄与しています。
では１５０年前はどの様な産業がスウェーデンを支えていたのでしょうか？ その１つが、今では信じられないのですが、タバコ産業だったようです。 スウェーデンのタバコ産業は昔はかなり盛んで、なんとストックホルム郊外にはタバコ畑が拡がっていたようです。 タバコはスウェーデンの歴史を語る上で大切な産業の１つだったようです。
そのような歴史を先日、スカンセンという野外博物館を訪れたときに勉強しました。 以前、ここに訪れたとき、タバコの種をタバコの歴史とスウェーデン産業の話を説明してくれた学芸員さんに頂きました、そしてわたしの家でもその種を植えてどのようにタバコが成長するか観察しています。
スカンセンでもタバコを植えているようで、たくさんのタバコの葉っぱが夏の日差しを浴びてすくすくと育っていました。 このような景色が１５０年前のスウェーデンの郊外の景色だと思うと、本当に信じられない思い出いっぱいです。 薄いピンク色に咲いたタバコの花がとても印象的でかわいらしかったです。
