Hiraizumi was an ancient capital of the Tohoku region 1000 years ago. Tohoku contains almost one third of Japan’s total land mass, and at its highest, the population of Hiraizumi was more than 100,000. It means that its size and splendor were equal to Kyoto at that time in history.
My channel, Japan Silhouette, features beautiful scenery, traditional culture, Origami arrangement, and the warm heart of the Japanese people.
I also visit other countries and record my impression about them, perhaps from a Japanese perspective.
