Bruce returned early to the Izakaya district to examine it in the light. I peered into the deserted izakayas. Many are tiny, with 10 seats or less. This appears to be a very old district, reflecting a long history of vigor in this city.

Bruce was curious about this vigorous, large town. Noriko and Itsuko knew zero of its history of Hachinohe or of this region.. The museum answered our questions. We learned we were in "Nambu" as the whole north was known in the Edo era.

_23apr13-bw_0939.jpg Unwittingly we had visited the two key cities of "Nambu" history. In 1664 the Tokugawa government divided the Nambu feudal area into two parts and gave them to two brothers. Shigenobu Nambu, the elder brother, was given 80 percent, based at Morioka castle. Naofusa, the younger, was given 20 percent, based at Hachinoke. This was the beginning of Hachinoke as place of consequence.  |
