Additional Information Image was scanned from color slide. Caption is from photographer's notes on slide. "Hagi (萩, Hagi?) is a city located in Yamaguchi, Japan and was incorporated as a city on July 1, 1932. Formerly part of Abu District. On March 6, 2005, the former city of Hagi merged with the towns of Susa and Tamagawa, and the villages of Asahi, Fukue, Kawakami and Mutsumi to form the new city of Hagi. ... In the medieval period, Hagi was dominated by the Yoshimi clan, who built Hagi Castle, of which the ruins can be visited today. The Mōri clan became daimyo of Chōshū Domain at the beginning of the Edo period and built Hagi Castle at the foot of Mt. Shizuki in 1608. They transferred the capital of the domain from Hiroshima to Hagi at the same time. Since then, Hagi developed as the political center of Chōshū for over 250 years."--Wikipedia
