Miki no Kuni (The Land of the Giant Tree)
A place in Chikugo, Kyushu, recorded in the Nihon Shoki as the site of a gigantic fallen tree. The tree was 970 jo (about 3 km) long; its shadow in the morning sun covered Mount Kishima in Saga, and in the evening sun Mount Aso in Kumamoto. It is said to be the origin of the place name Miike in Omuta, Fukuoka Prefecture.
