History of Oi Castle, Omi Province

Surname Ujiyoshi Ono Kaidan Oi

Oi Castle was originally owned by Oi Castle, its construction date is unknown, but historical records indicate that Ono had lived here before, changed his surname to Oi Hyogokami, and has lived here ever since. It is possible that the surname Oi was used by the Oi clan, and the name of the place or village name.

During the medieval period, the surnames and surnames of the samurai and other areas were always considered to be the same, but the Oi clan was also exceptional, and other people could choose to use the surnames of the samurai to express their own surnames and administrative systems.

The rise of the Asai clan and the fall of the Oi clan

At the beginning of the war, the Asai clan quickly attacked the northern part of Omi Province. When the Asai clan started their mission, the Ooi clan came to power, and the last envoy and others fled to the northern part of the country. As a matter of fact, the surname of Mr. Oi was recovered after he fled.

This is due to the fact that after the separation of the Oi district, the legality of the place name and surname was lost. This has led to the emergence of medieval samurai surnames and clans, which were closely connected to each other in the area.

Asai clan vassal’s fortification and Nobunaga’s overthrow

After leaving the Oi clan, he was appointed as a vassal of the Asai clan and the lord of Oi Castle. During the Azai clan’s administrative system, it was an important point in the control area for construction of Oi Castle.

However, in 1570, after the conquest of Anegawa, the Azai clan’s conquest by Nobunaga Agata was fierce. In 1573, Nagamasa Asai was in charge of Odari Castle, the Asai clan was overthrown, and Shiroya Oi was attacked and attacked by the Japanese army.

After this, detailed records of Oi Castle were rare enough, and it was not recommended.

Oi Castle’s complete defense system

Ingenious selection of rivers to use

The common feature of the three-seater Oi Castle is the use of the capital, the river bank or the riverbank wall. Shin’s country’s use of Oi Castle was successful in the use of the Togawa River’s steep wall, and Bi’s country’s use of Oi Castle’s wall was in Agigawa’s river bank. This is a small natural defense construction that increases the strength of the castle’s defensive ability.

The river is a long-term invasive, ladder-like landform, the height difference, written by Xuan, and the use of the attackers has been surging. During the construction of forts in medieval times, the use of land to the maximum extent was extremely important.

Features of defense construction in the area of 围墙BU

The country’s Oi Castle three-site fortress has been realized with a variety of design ideas, an independent defense fortress with immediate access, and a powerful defense system. From time to time, the fort was separated from the city by rivers, the immediate envoys attacked the fort, and the fort’s resistance also progressed.

From the end of the rectangular layout of Oi Castle in Meihong Province to the late medieval period to the early modern period, special expeditions were made to cover the castle fort. With its detailed rectangular layout and effective land use, the internal space of the fort has become a perfect combination of defense and residential functions.

Hijikata construction defense on the Kajo River

The construction of the castle river and the construction of the castle’s defense system is an important function of the defense system. The city river was artificially opened and dried up on the Usan Sehe Plateau, preventing the enemy from invading. In fact, it is the three parts of the country’s Oi Castle, the castle’s river construction and important defense works, and the separated fort.

The earthworks are earthen mounds, possessing a variety of abilities, comprehensive defense against arrows and firearms attacks, and psychological prestige effects. Unfortunately, due to the modernization of the area, most of the earthworks have disappeared, but in one small area, traces of primitive earthworks can still be seen.
