Sendai is the capital of Miyagi Prefecture in northern Japan. It has a population of one million people and is one of Japan's seventeen designated cities. It was founded by the warlord Date Masamune in 1600. It is one of Japan's greenest cities, and was known as the City of Trees prior to World War II. It is also known as the Academic City, for the number of universities in the city. As Masamune attempted to forge relations with the Pope before Christianity was outlawed, Catholicism is a major religion in Sendai today.
