History
Shimizu-Nuidonosuke-yashiki was, as the name suggests, the residence of one Shimizu Nuidonosuke. The Shimizu were a strong local clan and part of a grouping of provincial samurai called the Tsugane-shū, founded by Satake Taneyoshi; they later pledged fealty to the Takeda Clan, guarding the entry into Kai Province via Saku County, Shinano province. After the fall of Takeda Katsuyori and then Oda Nobunaga in 1582, a big year for Kai, the Tsugane-shū supported Tokugawa Ieyasu in resisting the advance of the Hōjō into the province. The yashiki is thought to have been made up of several terraces on the hillside.
Field Notes
Shimizu-Nuidonosuke-yashiki is a medieval fortified residence site in the Shimotsugane area of Sutama Township, Hokuto Municipality. The site is now private propety but a grand old residence (Edo period?) can be seen from the roadside. The ishigaki (stone-piled walls) is handsome, though, along with the architecture, does not date to the time of the yashiki. Another Shimizu residence was located nearby; that residence, in Takane Township, belonged to Shimizu Sandayū.
