history
Nagahama Castle was built by Itō Shigeharu around 1555, then came into the hands of the monks of the Ikkō direction of Buddhism of Kenshō-ji (見 性 寺), who expanded the castle into a center of their faith in the Sengoku period . In addition, the traffic on the Ise coast could be easily controlled from there. Oda Nobunaga conquered the castle and gave it to Takigawa Kazumasu (瀧 川 一 益; 1525–1586), along with the northern area of the Ise province. After that, Oda Nobukatsu, Oda Nobunaga's second son, Toyotomi Hidetsugu and finally Fukushima Takaharu (福島 高 晴; 1573–1633), also called Masayori (正 頼), were the lords of the castle until after the Battle of Sekigahara in 1601 Takaharu to Uda (宇田) was transferred to the province of Yamato and Suganuma Sadayori (菅 沼 定 仍; 1579-1605) got the castle. Sadayori made repairs to the castle. After he was transferred to Zeze Castle in Ōmi Province in 1621 , Nagashima was uninhabited for a time until 1649 Hisamatsu Yasunao (久松 康 尚; 1623-1696), a daimyō from a branch of the Hisamatsu-Matsudaira followed. His son Tadamitsu (忠 充) lost his daimyo rank due to poor administration in 1702 and was replaced by Mashiyama Masamitsu (正 弥; 1653-1704). The Mashiyama resided there until the Meiji Restoration in 1868.
The attachment
The castle was built on a headland stretched out by the rivers Kiso and Ibi (揖 斐川) and was therefore easy to defend. The central area of the castle had a pentagonal floor plan, it did not have a castle tower (天 守 閣, Tenshukaku). This was followed by pre-areas along the narrow Nagashimae (長島 江) river, which formed the outer ditch (外 堀, Sotobori).
Today the area is occupied by elementary and middle schools. Part of the residence, the Okushoin (奥 書院), is located in the nearby Shingyō-ji (深 行 寺) temple.
Remarks
- ↑ Transferred to the nearby temple Renshō-ji (蓮 生 寺).
