Stained Glass "Hymn of the Forest"
Bold use of colors that reflect the spirit of Europe
This stained glass, installed at the entrance to Sendai Station in 1978 just before the opening of the Shinkansen, has become a symbol of the station.The work, created by the European-educated artist Zenjiro Chikaoka, was made with a wish for the development of Tohoku.The vivid colors of the stained glass feature motifs of Sendai’s iconic sights, such as the statue of Date Masamune on horseback, the Matsushima Godaido Temple, and the Tanabata decorations.

Sendai Castle trace
Castle trace which Prince Masamune Date built. Approximately 130m above sea level, the east side and the south side that could overlook Sendai city were built in natural stronghold which cliff hardened. The castle tower was not made, but there were Honmaru palace and kenzo ri, five oars which large hall included and boasted of dignified appearance appropriate for Date 62 Mangoku. Stone wall and restored side oar remind me of figure at the time of going. There is Aoba-jo Castle document pavilion and Sendai Castle information building displaying valuable document of Prince Masamune connection and can touch the history of the Dates.
