Akita (秋田市, Akita-shi) is the capital city of Akita Prefecture, Japan, and has been designated a core city since April 1, 1997. As of May 2015, the city had an estimated population of 317,236 and a population density of 350 persons per km². The total area was 906.09 square kilometres (349.84 sq mi).

History

The area of present-day Akita was part of ancient Dewa Province, and has been inhabited for thousands of years. The Jizōden ruins within the city limits are a major archaeological site with artifacts from the Japanese Paleolithic period through the Jomon and Yayoi periods. During the Nara period, the Yamato court established Akita Castle in 733 AD to bring the local Emishi tribes under its control. The area was ruled by a succession of local samurai clans in the Sengoku period, before coming under the control of the Satake clan of Kubota Domain during the Edo period. Under the Tokugawa shogunate, a castle town developed around Kubota Castle.

Meiji and Taisho Eras

With the start of the Meiji period, Kubota Domain was abolished, and its castle town divided into the towns of Akita and Kubota. Akita Prefecture was established in 1871, and Shima Yoshitake was named the first governor. Ancient Akita District was divided into Kitaakita and Minamiakita Districts in 1878. Most of Akita town burned down in a great fire on April 30, 1886.

Kleine Wolke Über Einem Französischen Mädchen

by: Echt

Sie ist nicht was sie glaubt zu sein
Der Engel unterm Heiligenschein
Sie weiß zu jedem Thema was zu sagen
Und stellt nur aus Höflichkeit dumme Fragen
Denn sie ist so ja oh ja sie ist sie ist
Ja denn sie ist schön geboren
Doch nur bis sie den Mund aufmacht
Denn sie ist häßlich wenn sie lacht
Ja ja sie kennt die ganze Welt
Doch fand nie das was ihr gefällt
Vielleicht wird sie`s schon morgen finden
Bis dahin wird sie weiter grinsen
Denn sie ist so ja oh ja sie ist sie ist
Ja denn sie ist schön geboren
Doch nur bis sie den Mund aufmacht
Sie ist so häßlich wenn sie lacht
Denn sie ist so ja oh ja sie ist sie ist
Ja denn sie ist schön geboren
Doch nur bis sie den Mund aufmacht
Sie ist so häßlich wenn sie lacht
