| Description | Note the shape of the moat here. It cuts in at a nice 90 degree angle. Defensive-wise there isn't a reason to cut in like this at this point. It was done intentionally to prevent evil spirits from easily entering the castle from the Northeast direction. This design is called sumikake. In Japanese Feng Shui the Northeast is an unlucky direction because evil spirits travel from the NE to the SW. This section of the moat was constructed by Date Masamune and you can find many kokuin from different daimyo in the walls. |
