History
Chimura-yashiki was an Edo Period jin'ya and fortified residence of the Chimura Clan. The Chimura Clan began as vassals of the Kiso Clan, serving them and, in turn, Tokugawa Ieyasu at the Battle of Sekigahara. As a reward for taking Atagawa-toride, a fort of the Ishikawa Clan of the Western Army during the battle, Chimura Yoshishige was made a hatamoto (bannerman), and enfeoffed with a tettiroy of 4,400 koku. Affiliated with the Owari-Tokugawa from 1619, the Chimura Clan ruled at Chimura-yashiki until the Meiji Period. I always find it incredible to think that one soldier of fortune's brave act at a decisive moment could provide for his descendants for centuries to come. But such were the days, my friends, such were the days.
