Mapa estelar personalizado de Sendai
38.2682°N, 140.8694°E
Verdant capital of Tōhoku, Sendai is nicknamed "the city of trees" and hosts each year Japan's grandest Tanabata festival, where wishes are sent skywards beneath the woven Milky Way. From Aoba Castle towering above the Hirose River to the black-lacquer Zuiganji Temple, the city unites the memory of daimyō Date Masamune with a legendary summer sky. Gift a Sendai star map — a present as poetic as the legend of Orihime and Hikoboshi.

Por que presentear um mapa estelar de Sendai?
Gifting a star map of Sendai means immortalising the night when Orihime and Hikoboshi reunite across the Milky Way. Whether for a proposal during August's Tanabata or an anniversary facing Matsushima Bay, this map captures the poetry of Japan's summer sky. A gift as delicate as a paper wish tied to a bamboo branch.
O céu de Sendai
At 38.27° north latitude, Sendai offers a summer sky where the Milky Way — the living symbol of the Tanabata legend — unfolds magnificently. The Sendai Astronomical Observatory, opened in 1955 and renovated in 2008, is one of Tōhoku's most active with its 25-metre dome and planetarium. Warm August nights, during the star festival, are particularly stirring.
