explanation: Miyagi prefecture occupies the central part of Tohoku region on the Pacific coast. Its surface is 7,291 km2 and the population 2.2 millions. The prefectural office is at Sendai City. Though the prefecture has no particular industry excepting for fishing and huge rice fields, it has been always the administrative center of entire Tohoku region and naturally attracted the population. Thanks to this labor force, recently a modern industry begins to develop around Sendai Bay area.
