The popular name of the castle where Goryokaku Fort (I possess it write it) was constructed in current Hakodate-shi, Hokkaido in the days of Edo in last years and a star-shaped castle constructed in those days Japan. 龍岡城 (unfinished) of Saku-shi, Nagano is known as Goryokaku Fort, too, but "Goryokaku Fort" generally points at it of Hakodate.
The then official name Kameda government office fieldwork (with Yanagino Castle). It is appointed, and it is chosen to Hokkaido inheritance as "Goryokaku Fort and remains of an ancient structure of the box building War" by the special historic spot of the country.
A summary
With the box building opening of a port by the Japan-U.S. sum pro-treaty conclusion, it was constructed by life of Edo Shogunate commander-in-chief of an expeditionary force against the barbarians / Iesada Tokugawa to solve reinforcement and the move of government office problem of the defense capacity. It is Ayasaburo Takeda of the person of Western style military science to have been in charge of a design. I adopt a bastion in the Europe after a battle with the cannon generalized it-style construction of a castle way and star-shaped arrange 堡. As for the total area, 74,990 tsubos (about 247,466m), the execution, Nakagawa source storehouse undertook Bennosuke Matsukawa, the Ishigaki construction to Kisaburo Inoue, the building of the city magistrate's office by an earthwork.
Construction was planned to confront a foreign menace at first, but a menace faded, and a purpose of the construction became the national prestige.
Structure
There was the lack of expense, and the original plan was reduced. As for the half-moon, only one place was made by a great trick. Two folds of half-moons are built in three folds, and an original European bastion-style construction of a castle style constituted 縦深防御, but considerably compares unfavorably with it in one place of only half-moon. In addition, an administrative office box building city magistrate's office was put at the time of the box building opening of a port. It is a construction of a castle style of the original bastion type that there is not space to put an administrative office, and the tall building is constructed as pure military installation because I do not build it to become the target of the cannon and is against it.
The then Japanese castle held the posts and a dwelling (Goryokaku Fort, government office) and military installation without I was different from the Europe that experienced political change and war and the development of guns, and it being almost performed the separation of the fortress which was a palace and the military installation which were a dwelling. Therefore a review to be West expression construction of a castle only for appearances is common. It is Matsuojo after 龍岡城 and the Meiji Restoration that Western style construction of a castle was used any place other than Goryokaku Fort, and Maehashi Castle uses para-Western style construction of a castle partially besides. In addition, the things that Matsumae Castle or Goto Ishida Castle added a battery to the castle of the pure Japanese style were constructed. I understand it what kind of eyes I encounter if such an old castle becomes the stage of the offensive and defensive battle of the modern cannon war if I watch a photograph after the truce of Aizu Wakamatsu castle / the Shirakawa Komine castle.
Actually, in the case of Hakodate war, a lofty building in the top of the building of the box building city magistrate's office became it for a thing of the appearance of the bombardment from a warship of the warship of the Imperial army so that there was it to a photograph. The old Shogunate force which knew it removed a lofty building part in a hurry, but a shooting angle is known for considerable precision and hits the ground in sequence in a fortress. The function as the fortress was already paralyzed by this point in time.
I build the fieldwork for a defense wall, and it is the characteristic of the bastion-style construction of a castle style to absorb the shock of the cannonball. However, fieldwork frozen during winter faced difficulty to collapse in spring if I became warm without meeting a chilly climate of Hokkaido to build the fieldwork in the case of Goryokaku Fort. Therefore I build Ishigaki expressly and can lack in trouble to pile soil on the top. In addition, there was the method to use a tender brick like Fort Samter of the Civil War even if I did not persist in fieldwork.
For the first problem, the construction of a castle style such bastion-style in the Europe is slightly already what obsolescence did. It is a method to use a rifle as a defense weapon to stack a fort, and it is the time when it was shifting to defense that it fixes a cannon in the protection against bullets trench in the Europe of those days. In fact I easily exceeded it, and, in 普仏戦争 of the same period, the French bastion-type fortress was captured by the Kingdom of Prussia armed forces and was shown what obsolescence did as a fortress form. By the way, Daiba built in Tokyo Bay for the same period is a fortress institution with a cannon.
