Field Notes
Amino-yashiki is a fortified residence ruin in Mikkaichiba village of Enzan Township, Kōshū Municipality. It has dorui (earthen rampart) remains, which are now stone-lined retaining walls for an old farmhouse. It took me a while to actually find this supposed dorui. During that search I came across ‘Persimmon Gallery’, a small, local art gallery. I like persimmons – and had seen many appetising specimens that day – so I went in. Many drying persimmons were hanging around the veranda. Dried persimmons are a local specialty (see Kanzou Yashiki). The gallery owner, who provided tea and snacks, says that dried persimmon was an ideal ration food for samurai.
