Takakusa

Takakusa lies west of the Sendai River in Inaba, where low hills border the plain. After supporting the eastern army at Sekigahara in 1600, Kamei Korenori of Shikano Castle received lands in the district. He undertook the Ōide irrigation channel, drawing water from the river to cultivate new fields on its western side. The work took years and opened a substantial area to farming under the early Edo domain.
