Coat of arms of the Takebe ("Takebe butterflies")

The Takebe ( Japanese 建 部 氏 , Takebe-shi ) were a family of the Japanese sword nobility ( Buke ) from the province of Mino , which was derived from Sasaki Yoritsuna (佐 々 木 頼 綱; 1242-1311). The Takebe belonged to the small Tozama daimyo during the Edo period with an income of 10,000 koku .

genealogy

The representatives after the Toyotomi period in this area, the Takebe, received an increased income after their contribution to the conquest of Osaka Castle in the summer of 1615, became daimyo and became masters of Amagasaki Castle . But already in 1617 they were transferred from Tokugawa Ieyasu to Hayashida.

In 1617 Takebe Masanaga (建 部 政 長; 1603–1672) built a permanent house (陣 屋, Jinya) on the remains of the Sengoku era Kuboyama Castle (窪 山城) and renamed the Kuboyama to Hijirigaoka (聖 ヶ 岡) . The facility was located west of the Hashita River on an arched hill of 20 m above the ground, with an east-west extension of about 200 m and a north-south extension of about 100 m. It was surrounded by walls and moats and contained not only the residence, but also the residences of the vassals, so that one can speak of a small castle town . The residence of the wealthy landowner Miki Sadayoshi (三 木 定 良) and the temple Empuku-ji (圓 福寺) were moved further west on the occasion.

The walls and moats have largely been preserved and now form the Hjirigaoka-kōen public park (聖 ヶ 岡 公園).

Remarks
