History of Takatenjin Castle
Construction origin and Imagawa era
This is a story about the time when Takatenjin Castle was built during the Genpei War (Genpei War), but there are still some documents and archaeological references that have not yet been published. The earliest known document in existence today was traced back to the 16th century, during which time a vassal of the Imagawa clan, Sukeharu Fukushima, was the lord of the castle, and the castle was occupied by the lord of the castle, Hijikata Castle.
During the Muromachi period, the Imagawa clan, the feudal lord of Iga Province, installed a general and built a castle fort, which was used as a base to invade and enrich the country. Under the reign of the Imagawa clan, the Fukushima clan was the lord of the castle, and the castle was established in the western part of the Imagawa clan.
The decline of the Imagawa clan and the rise of the Yotokugawa clan
In 1560 (Eiroku 3rd year), the Imagawa clan’s strength rapidly declined after the Imagawa clan was defeated during the war. During this period, Tokugawa Ieyasu (then known as Matsudaira Motoyasu) started an invasion of Tokugawa Province in Mikawa Province.
In 1568 (Ei 61), Tokugawa Ieyasu completely invaded the Far East and Takatenjin Castle was taken by Tokugawa Ieyasu. At this time, the lord of the castle, Yui, was a vassal of the Imagawa clan, a vassal of the Tokkawa clan, and the lord of the castle, Ogasawara Chotada Tototo, was in charge of the castle. According to Tokugawa Ieyasu, Takatenjin Castle’s status is important, and it is a key point in the Far Sea Province, which is also the defensive fortress of the Takeda clan in the west.
Takatenjin Castle Battle (1574)
In 1574 (Tensho 2), Kai Province’s Takeda army attacked Takatenjin Castle, historically known as Takatenjin Castle Battle.
Takeda’s victory was due to his father, Takeda Shingen’s title as head of the household, and his military activities and military power. Takatenjin Castle was located in the heart of the Tokugawa shogunate, and was the most important fortress in the city. Takeda won the victory and conquered this castle, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the commander of the castle, created a heavy attack.
At that time, the lord of Takatenjin Castle was Chotada Ogasawara, and the number of guardians was approximately 1,000. Under Sobin, Takeda’s victory ended with a multi-branch army with many people, and the attack on Tenjin Castle. Tokugawa Ieyasu strengthened his strength, but the Takeda army was unable to attack.
As the battle continued, Takatenjin Castle fell within a few days. The Takeda army surrendered to Ogasawara Nagatada, who was the guardian of the castle, and the Takeda family surrendered to Takatenjin Castle. When Ieyasu Tokugawa came here, Ieyasu Tokugawa’s visit was a major attack, and the Tokugawa family had great prestige over the country.
Takeda’s victory was appointed as the lord of Abe Motoshin, the commander of Takatenjin Castle, and the land of the Tokugawa family in Fukairi.
Ieyasu Tokugawa’s construction of a castle and pond against the opposition
The disappearance of the Empress of Takatenjin Castle and the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu were immediately followed by a trial. In addition to the deep knowledge of Takeda’s strong military performance, the reason for this is how to think about the long-distance angle of the castle pond.
In 1575 (Tensho 3), the Takeda army had a great victory during the war, and the Takeda clan’s strength began to rise and fall. Tokugawa Ieyasu had an opportunity to visit the residence, and to prepare for the return of Takatenjin Castle.
Ieyasu’s strategy and non-direct attack meant that the castle was in trouble. From 1578 (6th year of Tensho) to 1580 (8th year of Tensho), Ieyasu completed the construction of the surrounding area of Takatenjin Castle, Rokuza Castle (Rokujo), completed the formation of one of the castle walls, and completed the cutting of the perimeter of Takatenjin Castle.
Rokuza Castle Bonyoshita:
- Yokohama Castle: The main fortress on the south side of Iyu Gao Tenjin Castle
- Mitsuiyama Castle: East and north side of Takatenjin Castle
- Shoji Flower Castle: Futon Takatenjin Castle northwest side
- Nakamura Castle: East side of Takatenjin Castle
- Higashine Castle: West side of Takatenjin Castle
- Ogasayama Castle: Futon Takatenjin Castle north side
The defender of Takatenjin Castle is completely isolated. Takeda’s success was greatly improved, but since the collision between Yuyu and Shintada, there were internal problems within the castle, and other effective assistance was provided. ### Second Takatenjin Castle Battle and Fall (1581)
In about 1580 (9th year of Tensho), Takatenjin Castle’s food supply short list was the chief of staff. The Tokugawa Army’s secret attack was cut off and the security lines outside the castle were cut off, and the barbarians spread inside the castle.
The castle lord, Motoshin Tako, sought support from Takeda for victory, but under the power of the Takeda clan and the Tokugawa alliance, they were powerless to provide effective support. Takeda’s victory over Tenjin Castle.
On the night of March 22, 1581 (Tensho 9), Takatenjin Castle fell. Motonobu Abe’s total number was approximately 700, and the number of Takeda warriors raised was the last to be fought, but the number of soldiers was estimated to be the highest in Tokugawa Army. Motonobu Abe himself died during the war, and Takatenjin Castle was destroyed by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
The fall of Takatenjin Castle resulted in a heavy attack and the prestige of the Takeda clan. There are four rumors about “Takeda’s victory and defeat as an ally.” One year after the fall of Takatenjin Castle, in March 1582 (10th year of Tensho), Takeda clan troops invaded Tokugawa’s army and died.
Fallen castle
The administration of Tokugawa Ieyasu Shige’s new return to Takatenjin Castle, however, there were no other castles to protect. The Takeda clan’s prestige was suddenly lifted, and Takatenjin Castle’s war strategy fell, resulting in the demand for Yamashiro’s large amount of manpower and physical strength. Inko, Ieyasu decided to release high-pitched Tenjin Castle.
By 1582 (10th year of Tensho), the height of Takatenjin Castle was at its base, and the function of the castle fort disappeared. After this, during the Edo era, Takatenjin Castle was rebuilt, and was finally buried in the middle of nature.
