This paper deals with Cannabis which was produced in Hyuga (Miyazaki Prefecture). Although Cannabis, so called Marijuana, has been prohibited as one of abused drugs by Japanese Government in the present time, it was widely used as fiber materials until now. We examined the historical status, production, circumstances, and product materials for Cannabis fiber in Hyuga. As result, it was found that Hyuga areas also produced Cannabis fiber as famous economical goods through Edo. Meiji, Taisho and the middle of Showa periods in all districts of north Miyazaki, especially at Takachiho, Gokase and Hinokage. However, after World War II, only a few farmers in Hyuga cultivated until about fifty years ago these plants under the permission of Japanese Government according to Cannabis control low.
