ZUIHODEN, which is the mausoleum of the first feudal lord of Sendai-Han built about 400 years ago, is located in western part of Sendai city.

In front of the entrance gate of ZUIHODEN, a plum tree is standing.
This tree is called as "GARYOBAI" due to the standing way like a laying dragon.
GA : laying
RYO : dragon
BAI : plum tree

Though it is little past the peak in bloom season now, I'm lucky I could see the blooms.
