Guide to complete construction of Saga Castle: Exhaustive military history, highlights and charms of the Honmaru Historical Museum

Saga Castle is located in the center of Saga City, and is a flat fort in one area. It is also one of Japan’s 100 most famous castles, and has an important history. The first residence of the Ryuzoji clan was Muranaka Castle, which was a long time ago when the Yukijima clan progressed to a large scale construction and restoration, and was formed in a modern scale. Saga Castle Honmaru Historical Museum is the original edition of the Honmaru Imperial Palace, and now exhibits the brilliance of the Saga domain in the post-Eiko era, the Meiji era, and the new era, and has since been centered on production and education.

History of Saga Castle: Residence of the Clan Island clan in Nakagusuku

Age of War: Muranaka Castle of the Ryuzoji clan

The origin of Saga Castle can be traced back to Village Naka Castle. Muranaka Castle was built by Ryuzoji, a powerful feudal lord in Yuhizen Province, from the time of the Yuan Dynasty to the time of the War. Created by Ryuzoji, he became a powerful daimyo in Hizen Province, with constant efforts, and established himself in the village of Nakajo. This is a typical example of defense construction work during the time of the war.

Long-term major renovation: the modern castle fortress of the Jidai clan and its modification

From 1602 to 1611, a vassal of the Ryuzoji clan, Naoshige and his son, Naoshige, and his son, Naoshige, and his son, Naoshige, and the village of Nakagusuku completed a large-scale renovation and construction. The complete construction project of the castle has been completely remodeled, and the castle tower has four and five layers (also has four layers and five layers). Since then, the 锅岛 clan has been the lord of the Saga domain with a total of 360,000 koku (360,000 koku). Saga Castle was the residence of the Kashima clan, and the Meiji era was established.

Changing time: Burning and heavy construction

It was a battle of fire and fire in Saga Castle. During the Kyoho period (1716-1736), the main castle was destroyed by fire; during the Tenpo period (1830-1844), the second castle tower, Akiya, was destroyed. In 1835 (Tenpo 6), there was a great fire, and the main castle was destroyed, and the second castle tower was built again.After this, the castle tower was not rebuilt.

In 1838 (Tenpo 9), the main castle was built, and the construction was completed at that time, making it the gateway to today’s important cultural and consumer goods industry. After heavy construction, the main castle occupied 2,500 acres of land, was an honorable general, a samurai, a simple way of life, and a construction work that perfectly integrated the beauty of function, function, and functionality.

Meiji era new Yosaga Shichikan

From the end of the Edo period to the beginning of the Meiji era, the Saga clan played an important role in the process of modernizing Japan. Saga Prefecture-based schools provide high-quality education based on Confucian ideology, provide English, foreign languages, and other foreign languages as well as military-oriented education. Many people have been called “Saga Shichiban” politicians, Japanese bureaucrats, Eto Shinpei, Okuma Shigenobu, Soejima Seishin, Futakato, and Sano Tsunemin, Japanese bureaucrats. This constituted the core of the Meiji government, and made a huge contribution to the modernization of Japan.

Special feature of Saga Castle’s construction: Hirahara Castle, nicknamed “The Fallen Castle”

Basic structure of a fortress

It is a plain castle belonging to Saga Castle, with a concentric circle shape and a ladder shape. The main tower is 126 meters long in the east and west, 122 meters in length from north and south, and has a castle tower with four floors and five floors. The construction of the fort is approximately 50 to 80 years old, and the interior of the fort is approximately 50 to 80 years old.

The castle was built on a flat plain in Yuyu, and the stone wall was relatively low and dwarfed, and the main defense construction was the construction of the castle. The seeds of pine tree and camphor tree are planted on the earthen wall, and the effect of folding obstruction. This is true because of its unique structure, which is why Saga Castle is also known as `Chuu Castle'' or `Kuji Castle”.

Water use of the Kajo River

The special expedition written by Sakajo Saijo is that of the 护城川. The land of the Saga plain is low, it is a piece of wetland, it is a rich source of water for use, and the river surrounding the fortress is surrounded by the river. In addition, the castle river does not have defensive functions, it provides water sources for daily life, and it also effectively protects the fort and surrounding castles.

As soon as the castle river was near, the enemy was too close to prevent the main event from happening. This is a flat ground fortress built by a group of people, which in turn is a highly effective defense system.

Features of the castle tower

The castle tower of Saga Castle was located in the northwestern corner of the castle, and was built with four floors and five floors. When I looked outside, I saw only four levels, but inside, there were five levels, and the fortress towers of the envoys, and the conquest of the castle. However, in 1835, after the death of Qiyu, the castle tower was built and the stone base of the pagoda tower was built.

Due to the comprehensive reasons for the heavy construction of the castle tower, the shogunate’s safety and exclusion, and the issue of purchasing policy, the main building of the castle tower was considered to be the most important.

Existence: Shachimen Wajikou (Connecting Tower)

Nationally designated important cultural property: Shachimen

The most important existing construction of Saga Castle is the lock gate, which is the main gate of the main castle. The castle gate was built in 1838, with a tower-style castle gate style, designated as a nationally important cultural property.

The castle gate’s surname originates from the name of a fish-shaped creature in the Chinese mythology. Traces of the fires during the Shachimon Kamidome Arisa War (1874), history of the mission’s formation, rare history, and stories from the late Jiangzhou period to the early Meiji period. At that time, the opening of the opening was still clear, and the pillars of the gate of the castle gate and the fans of the gate were seen, and the viewers of the history of the work left a serious impression on the visitors.

Japanese stone tomb

The connection between the two gates is also designated as an important cultural item. The defensive function of the fire tower and the castle gate is the main structure. Its internal construction was a military machine building, a peace watchtower, which was an important construction for the protection of the castle gate.

The stone coffin of Sagajo is also an important historical monument. The land was flat, the height of the castle was low, but the structure was solid, and the preservation was perfect. The stone burial method is also a treasure trove of construction techniques from the early Jiang Dynasty.
