Kogamine Castle (Kyoto): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:09, 24 June 2024

Some websites split this into two castles, Kogamine Castle and Shofukuji (Castle), but I've kept them together here which is how they are classed in the Kyoto Survey of Castles, where the Shofukuji part is called the Fourth Bailey. You can also see the mountaintop fortification on the [[Yamaga Jin'y

History

I think it was the Wachi clan who had some territory and a the mountaintop castle here. They actually sided with Nobunaga but he told them to destroy the castle. They insisted it wasn’t a castle but a family gravesite. … with koguchi and horikiri :) Nobunaga got pissed off and sent his key Tanba assassin Akechi Mitsuhide in to destroy them, which he did of course. Thereafter the jin’ya was setup and the same family ruled all the way to the end of the Edo Period. Pretty rare, I might say. Supposedly they also maintained the yamajiro as a tsume-no-shiro even if they technically were not supposed to throughout.
