Maebashi

Maebashi, the capitol of Gunma
the city of raw silk

Being that Maebashi is the capitol city I have been there countless times for work meetings, shopping, and cherry blossoms in the spring. For our photo we decided to go to the Kencho. It's not silk related, but it is very Maebashi. 


 
  The Kencho building is I believe the tallest building in Gunma, and it certainly stands out. Once you are out of the mountains, it is the most prominent land mark on the horizon. One of my friends learning Japanese often mistakenly calls it the Kancho (enema), so we now have a running joke that it is "kancho-ing" the sky.
