Zuihoden

Located in near the city of Sendai in Miyagi prefecture, Zuihoden is a mausoleum for Date Masamune, one of the most powerful feudal lords of the Edo Period. He was one of the first in a long line of Date lords to rule over Sendai from Aoba Castle which has been transformed into a magnificent park. Date Masamune and his son Date Tadamune have both found their resting place in Zuihoden, where the Date Masamune mausoleum is the centerpiece of Zuihoden.

Following the Momoyama Period style, Zuihode mausoleums are designed with rich intricate woodwork features and vivid colors.
