Enbun District

The Enbun District (円墳, Enbun, "burial mound") is the 12th District in the North Rukongai.

Overview
Enbun consists of a expansive fallow field that is surrounded by a fringe of woodlands. It is largely unpopulated, and is somewhat higher in elevation than the surrounding districts.

Takashi Sakuma has been known to frequent the area, as its close proximity to the Seireitei allows him to hunt with his hawk here without shirking his duties as a Lieutenant. This area is also suitable sparring ground for Shinigami, as the grass is fast growing and there are few trees or buildings around that may be accidentally damaged.

History
Thousands of years ago, a sizeable battle was fought between Shinigami from the Seireitei and Hollows that had invaded the Rukongai. Many Soul Reapers perished and, honoring their sacrifice, they were buried on the battlefield and the field was renamed. For many years afterwards the ground was regarded as sacred, but its past is now largely forgotten. The Rukongai citizens still steer clear of the area, however, whether this is from superstition or a bad feeling about the place is unknown. Shinigami, on the other hand, seem to pick up a calming, somewhat melancholy atmosphere from the place.
