Large hair - Fun

Japanese: 大楽毛 - おたのしけ

A district of Kushiro City in southeastern Hokkaido. Located near the mouth of the Akan River, sand dunes have developed on the coast. The name comes from the Ainu word Ota-noshike (meaning the middle of the sandy beach). The low, wet peat soil is unsuitable for farming, so livestock farming developed there. Since the livestock market (commonly known as the Horse Market) opened in 1911, it has become a horse market on par with Morioka and Sanbongi. The livestock market prospered from the Taisho era to the early Showa era, and at its peak, freight cars loaded with horses were made from Orakumo and shipped to Honshu from Hakodate and Muroran ports. Currently, dairy cows are traded here. A cardboard manufacturing plant began operation in 1983, and most of the products are shipped to Honshu from Kushiro Port.

北海道南東部，釧路市の一地区。阿寒川の河口付近に位置し，海岸には砂丘が発達。地名はアイヌ語オタ・ノシケ (砂浜の中央の意) に由来。低湿泥炭地のため農耕には不向きで牧畜が発展。 1911年家畜市場 (通称馬市) が開かれてから盛岡，三本木と並ぶ馬市場となった。家畜市場は大正から昭和初期にかけて繁栄し，その隆盛時にはウマを積んだ貨車が大楽毛から仕立てられ，函館，室蘭港から本州へ船で送られた。現在は乳牛が取引される。 58年に段ボール原紙の製造工場が操業を開始し，製品の大半は釧路港より本州へ移出。
