Fushimi Castle Relocated Structures

Relocated Structures of Fushimi Castle

Fushimi Castle was dismantled by the Tokugawa as part of the Tokugawa's own one castle per domain edict. Many of the structures were moved to temples and even other castles. Gates were easily moved, but parts of the palace show up at several different temples and shrines too. Several yagura were also known to have been relocated to other castles but were destroyed by natural disasters or during the war. There were probably few castles of this size that were completely dismantled as part of the one castle per domain law so that's why we see more structures relocated than elsewhere. It could also be that many people were eager to have a part of the history of a once great castle that was commanded by the last two great warlords, both Hideyoshi and Ieyasu.

This page only includes the original structures or those built with the original materials (like the blood ceilings) and does not include modern reconstructions like the Tsukimi Yagura at Fukuyama Castle or the residence of Entokuin. I have also tried to limit this page to those structures with some credibility of being from Fushimi Castle. There are actually quite a few more that have no credible background, but I've left those out, notably Fushimi Yagura at Edo Castle, which has no credibly evidence linking it to Fushimi Castle. The many legends of structures being from Fushimi Castle also supports the above theory that many people wanted a piece of this great legacy.

The Fushimi Castle page has many more photos of each structure organized into albums by location. If there is more than one structure at a location (Kodaiji for instance) they are grouped into one sub-album for Kodaiji. This table attempts to list up each structure individually by type and can be sorted by column with the headers at the top of each. The locations link back to the album containing the photo to see more of that structure or site.
