Where in Japan is Usagis village?
(UY Vol 1, #34) Adachi Plain, the city of Sendai (mentioned in Book 2) and Usagi’s village are all in Mutsu Province which takes up the entire northeast portion of the main island of Honshu. Lord Hikiji was inspired by Date Masamune (1566-1636), the lord of Mutsu who also aspired to become Shogun. The Geishu (also called Aki) Province is located in the southern portion of Honshu and is now a part of Hiroshima which my family, three generations ago, came from.
