Sazae means turban shell in Japanese. Its name, need less to say, comes from its amazing structure. Sazae-Dou is located in Aizu- Wakamatsu City, Fukushima and has been their since 1796. It also has been designated as one of the national cultural properties.
The name Aizu has been well known among Japanese people for its history; Aizu fought and resisted against new government troops, standing by Edo-Bakufu in the Meiji Restoration. The era of Samurai ended virtually by their defeat.
Sazae-Dou is related to that history too; Iimori-Yama, Mt. Iimori, where Sazae-Dou is located is a well known place because Samurai boys committed suicide, realizing their defeat. The samurai boys had been called Byakko-tai, White Tiger Brigade in Japanese, and it consisted of some 350 boys aged from 13 to 17.
