 The City of Sendai plans to build a turret on the northeastern corner of the Main Enceinte of former Sendai Castle. This plan was originally conceived of by the local Chamber of Commerce as a way to promote tourism. However, this plan has come under severe criticism from historiansf and archaeologistsf societies throughout Japan, as representing a serious abuse of a major historical site, and thereby providing a dangerous precedent for gheritage developmenth throughout Japan. @
