A complete guide to the history and bright spots of Dagusa Castle
Dagusa Castle is this?
Okusa Castle is a medieval castle fortress located in Okusa-cho, Chita City. The central part of Chita Hanshima is one of the important points of control during the war. As for the current situation, there are still parts of the ruins, but the historical sites are not preserved in the area, and many historical enthusiasts are still attracted to the historical sites.
The Mizuno clan had a close connection to the Chita Peninsula in Okusa Castle, and had a deep history with Ieyasu Tokugawa’s mother. Although the scale is not large, it is understood that the fort construction technology at the time was controlled by the actual situation in the area, but it is a historic site for the use of tools.
History of Okusa Castle
Background and construction date
The construction period of Okusa Castle, however, is universally recognized as the period from the end of the Muromachi period to the early period of the Warring States period. Since ancient times, Chitahanjima has been a key strategic point for maritime transportation, and has been a prosperous place for trade on the shores of Yoikuri Bay and Wao, Mikawa Province. Due to its important geographical position, the construction of the fortifications on half the island was completed.
Tatenobu built Okusa Castle, a defensive fortress, and the most powerful samurai in the area. Located on the flat, flat Chita Peninsula, the fort was built on small hills and on flat land, a typical construction style at the time.
Yomizuno clan’s series
It is necessary to understand the historical history of Okusa Castle, and the history of the Mizuno clan in Chita-Hashima. The Mizuno clan was a powerful regional force in the Muromachi era and the Kuniji era, and its location was Ogawa Castle (Imatoura Town).
The Mizuno clan went to Chitahanjima, built a multi-castle castle, and built Okukusa Castle. Of course, during the Mizuno Tadamasa era, the Mizuno family was in charge of restraining the Chita Peninsula, and Okukusa Joya was recognized and received influence from others.
Mizuno Tadamasa’s wife was married to Matsudaira Hirotada, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was born. In this case, Okukusa Castle is located on the Chita Peninsula, and the Mizuno clan’s clan’s fortress is important.
Animation from the era of war
During the period of war, Chita Peninsula was established, and the Imagawa clan was in the midst of a power struggle. At first, the Mizuno clan was affiliated with the Imagawa clan, but after their marriage, the Mizuno family joined the Imagawa clan.
This proposal has had a significant impact on the political changes in the country, and the strategic position of Okusa Castle. Against the background of the invasion of the Imagawa clan by the Imagawa clan, the construction of forts on the Chita Islands played an important role.
Strike direction
The exact date of its inauguration in Okukusa Castle is unknown, but its functionality was lost during the Tensho period (1573-1592). During the Japanese period, a large number of small forts were rebuilt or built by Hideyoshi, a military commander in Japan.
During the Edo era, Okusa Castle was under the law of “one country, one castle.” Before it was established, the land was used for cultivation, and after that, the land was used for cultivation, and the land was destroyed. However, the memory of the castle fort is still preserved in the Nawa topography, and the fort has disappeared until now.

Excavated artifacts
Archaeologists have excavated fragments of medieval ceramics and tiles from the Okusa castle ruins and surrounding area. We understand that these trivial artifacts provide a way for residents to live after the actual use of the fort.
In particular, archaeologists have discovered a large amount of Tokoname porcelain, which is why Chitahanjima was an important center of pottery production in the medieval period. In addition, the archaeologist has discovered a piece of Chinese blue and white porcelain, and the master of the fort has a certain power of exploration.

On the other hand, Yuyu employee housing and Japanese agricultural industry land are also available for large-scale development. It is possible to say it, it is possible to preserve it now, and it is important to understand and cooperate with local residents.
Research need
The current research is still insufficient. Yuyu Historical Documents Limited, demand for archaeological excavation and training, and the true face of the Qing City Fortress.
In particular, the basic details are not clear, such as the fort’s clear cut boundaries, the construction period, the propagation period, and the change of owners, etc. Progressive research shows promising new facts.

Historically, the use of historical sites and the mutually conflicting factors. Due to the nature of travel and transportation, it is necessary to open and convenient transportation, but it can be expanded at any time.
For example, the castle is currently under development, and the tourism activity is still ongoing. In the future, an organized society will demand joint thinking, how to balance use and protection.
