Iwai Shimizu

Ichinoseki City

Southern Iwate

It is said that Fujiwara Hidehira had Wakamizu drawn from here and carried on the morning of New Year's Day. A stone monument has been erected that reads, ``The forgotten water of Iwai in the shadow of the Tokiwa tree is a name that does not remember summer,'' and is where Iwai District got its name.
