Miyagi Prefecture
Miyagi
Miyagi Prefecture (jp. 宮城県. rmj. miyagi-ken. tohoku region), the name Miyagi comes from Miya (宮) Imperial Capitol, Gi (城) Castle. The capitol of Miyagi Prefecture is Sendai City, a place which is most famous for being founded by Date Masamune, a figure who was central to the Sengoku ("Warring States") Era of 1467-1615. In addition, Miyagi Prefecture was among the hardest hit in the March 2011 tsunami. Sendai City, with a population of 1 million, is fast becoming known as one of Japan's most enjoyable cities. Although it was heavily bombed during World War II, it has since been rebuilt. The city is well known for its soba and gyutan (beef tongue).
Prefecture Name Origins
The year following the change of this prefecture's name from Sendai-han to Sendai-ken (Sendai Prefecture), the prefecture's name was once again changed to Miyagi. There are various theories for this name change, but one of them is that Taga Castle was placed in Mutsu Province (present-day location of Miyagi, Iwate, and Aomori prefectures) during the Nara Period. Originally, it was referred to as Miyake, using the kanji meaning "Imperial Capitol" and "Household". Later on, the prefectural name changed to Miyagi, using the kanji meaning "Imperial Capitol" and "Castle".
Welcome to Miyagi! The Prefecture of Miyagi has a long and established history, and is especially known for its capital town of Sendai, where the Sendai Castle was built. Miyagi Prefecture is also well-known for Matsushima, a set of islands dotted with pine trees.
