Overview
Anbandegi is a highland area at an altitude of 1,100 meters, and its name comes from 'Anban,' a concave, wide wooden base used for kneading dough with a rice cake meet, and 'Degi,' meaning flat ground. Since 1965, slash-and-burn farmers have settled by cutting through the mountains, and since the steep slope makes mechanized farming impossible, fields have been cultivated entirely by human effort. In 1995, about 28 households continued cultivating fields and officially purchased the land, becoming the actual owners. This land, spanning about 2 million square meters, transformed a barren mountainous area into a fertile highland cabbage field. Beyond a simple cabbage field, Anbandegi is gaining attention for its landscapes shaped by human labor.
