There were also tow old cedar trees, Tarobo-sugi and Jirobo-sugi. In the year 1609 when large pillars were needed for the rebuilding of Sendai castle these two trees were felled and should be transported to Sendai. But the boat sank to the ground near Natorigawa and the two huge tree trunks were lost.<br />So now they are called "the sunken Taro and Jiro, 太郎礁 Tarone and 次郎礁 Jirone.<br />.<br />http://heianperiodjapan.blogspot.jp/2015/08/tarobo-tengu-legends.html<br />.<br />More legends to explore (800)<br />http://www.nichibun.ac.jp/cgi-bin/YoukaiDB2/namazu.cgi?query=%BE%EB&submit=%B8%A1%BA%F7&whence=0&max=20&sort=score<br />.<br /><br />Gabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820047071744679108.post-54693123554745160212015-06-19T23:41:00.017-07:002015-06-19T23:41:00.017-07:00quote Japan Times

But it was called a “phantom castle” because it was said to have been destroyed by an earthquake in 1596, and no remnants had ever been found.<br /><br />Researchers have excavated some 36 meters of stone wall about 0.5 to 1 meter high and 2 meters thick, more than 100 fragments of gold-plated roof tiles, and the remains of a 5- to 7-meter-wide, 2-meter-deep moat, according to Kyoto-based firm Kyoto Heian Bunkazai.<br /><br />.<br />more on facebookGabi Greve - Darumapediahttps://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153583744621844&set=gm.676796409120600&type=1&theaternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820047071744679108.post-5939830848017316332013-12-21T20:32:48.708-08:002013-12-21T20:32:48.708-08:00Matsuo Basho
