Rikuzen Province (陸前国, Rikuzen-no kuni?) is an old province of Japan in the area of Miyagi and some parts of Iwate prefectures. It was sometimes called Rikushū (陸州?), with Rikuchū and Mutsu Provinces.
Famous quotes containing the word province:
“The dramatic art would appear to be rather a feminine art; it contains in itself all the artifices which belong to the province of woman: the desire to please, facility to express emotions and hide defects, and the faculty of assimilation which is the real essence of woman.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
