History of Takeda Castle | From the time of Umuromachi to the early period of the Edo period
Castle-like construction and Otagaki clan era
The history of Takeda Castle can be traced back to the Kakizu period (approximately 1441-1443), when the castle was built by the Otagaki clan under the order of Yamana Sozen, a vassal of the country. At first, it was a medieval castle built mainly by local construction, and it was established in the Yamana clan, but it was located in the Ma district.
The Otagaki clan was the first lord of the domain, and was the seventh lord of Takeda Castle. An important vassal of the Yamana clan, the Otagaki clan lived in the southern part of the country, and was the lord of the Takeda castle.
Nobunaga Soda enters the invasion and replaces the castle lord.
In 1569 (12th year of the Eiroku era), Hideyoshi Hashiba (Hideyoshi, a vassal who came after the war) ordered Nobutaga to invade the country. The current lord of the castle, Terunobu Otagaki, surrendered to the Sota clan, and the Sota family entered Takeda Castle.
After his return, in 1577 (5th year of Tensei), Hideyoshi completed his conquest of the country, and took control of Takeda Castle and became a vassal. In about 1580 (Tensho 8), the castle was controlled by Hidetoshi Hashiba (a younger sibling of Hideyoshi, a vassal), and became an important administrative center for the country.
Large-scale reconstruction of Akamatsu Hirohide’s stone castle
It was built in 1585 (Tensho 13) by Hirohide Akamatsu. At that time, Hirohide Akamatsu became the new lord of the castle, and was trusted by Hideyoshi, the vassal of the Emperor.
When Hirohide Akamatsu was in charge of the Otagaki clan, the main site of the castle was rebuilt on a large scale, and the main site was remodeled and built using the latest technology in the Azuchi-Momoyama period, all of which were made of stone. Takeda Castle was built using the famous “Nozang” stone hammer technique, and the skillful local master natural stone drill team was established, and the structure has been maintained for more than 400 years.
Takeda Castle is located in Ikuno’s Maruyama River, a key strategic point for military operations in the southern part of Tanuma Island.
Modern protection
In 1600 (the 5th year of the Emperor’s reign), after the conquest of Kanbara, Hirohide Akamatsu (or Hirohide Akamatsu), the last lord of Takeda Castle, overthrew the Western Army, and the land was stripped away, and Takeda Castle was enthroned. It has been in use for about 15 years, but the stone tombs that were built at that time are still a rare piece of history.
After the arrival of the fortress, it remained unpopulated for a long time, but in 1943 (Showa 18). Founded in the 1980s, Asasa City, opened and expanded, and was selected as one of Japan’s 100 Famous Castles in 2006.
