Japanese poet Kotaro Takamura (高村 光太郎 1883 – 1956) married with the woman whose name is Chieko. He is famous for his poems collection Chiekoshō (智恵子抄 in English titled Chieko's sky). Chieko was born in the Adatara area and she really loved where she was born in. At the time Kotaro and Chieko live in Tokyo, Chieko said "There is no sky in Tokyo. The real sky is the vista of blue sky over Mt. Adarata". Following monumental inscription represents Chieko's word.「この上がほんとの空です．（Kono ue ga honntono sora desu）」
