I slightly remember that from the Sendai city, we have about three stops to go to Tagajyo city by Japan Rail train, aka "JR". It takes about 10 to 15 minutes, I guess, so it's so near. Tagajyo city is a relatively small city that has 60,000 population, and there were not so many people around the train station when I stood here.
So, you wonder why I write about this city.
The reason is simple, 'cause the city has a huge ruin that shows the fact, which is to say that this city was once the north end of this country. The ruin was just a trace of a construction that was a stronghold for a front defence against the northern people in a so-called "hunter-gather society", and moreover, regarded as foreigners, or more to say, barbarians in the view of aristocrats in Kyoto or Nara, in more than 1000 years ago.
Just now, a huge trace of the construction was partly hardened in concrete, and since it was located in the middle of a small mountain-like hill, the ruin was surrounded by deep green woods.
Looking up to the sky, over the green, there was nothing but the moon at that time (though I was there at the day time). I easily imaged that people in 1000 years ago also looked at the same moon.
