The early modern times

It is thought that Ishigaki, castle tower and front and back and Nobunaga Oda who constructed a castle with becoming known to the public Yamashiro and Nobutaka Yamashiro Hisahide Matsunaga as for the form in particular after Muromachi last years such as oars playing a key role of the image of the current castle occurred in the times of front and back that constructed a castle in Azuchi castle. Osaka-jo Castle or Fushimi Castle were built by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, and Ishigaki, a square and "the castle" for the image of the public such as the castle gate comprising the horse soup stock were completed in a castle tower, and the Japanese castle culture was able to be full of prosperity afterwards. I call the castle of this form a castle of Shokuhojidai line in history. The castle of Shokuhojidai line was not made nationwide, and Nobunaga Oda, the many daimyos of the Hideyoshi Toyotomi subordinate personnel built it like the name mainly. Tohoku and Kanto, Shikoku, nine states of war-torn country daimyos build the castle which they were able to add and the fact of each place. Toyotomi, Tokugawa Administration let the daimyo of each place undertake castle construction of the self as world building positively. By this, the technique of a castle of Shokuhojidai line spreads out and shifts to the compromise type castle that I took in partly. In addition, a lot of examples building the castle of Shokuhojidai that hereditary daimyo posted in the district is pure line are seen.




Because it was the Edo era, and feudal lordship law was announced, I supported the in principle big prestigious family and left complete castle, and, in many castles, it was done 破却(Destruction). Many of castles done 破却(Destruction) of were Yamashiro of the Middle Ages. Each daimyo did 破却(Destruction) of a castle of vassals positively to establish rule order of the early modern times, and a collection of let you live to one's Shiroshita. With the foothold military in the castle give a deep significance, and a foothold of the politics, the authority of the feudal lord and a symbol of the power, a meaning as the local landmark become stronger. Furthermore, I let you live, and I let you live, and, as for the business and industry person, a castle town of the early modern times is formed a collection of a collection of with vassals as an economic foothold of the fief. It depends on this flow now that most of a place called a castle town are formed in the Keicho era year. Many of castles were built in the Keicho era year in the early modern times, too. However, it was often that a castle or a castle tower are destroyed by fire by fires, but many feudal clans gradually fall into a financial difficulty, and there are few examples which there is the clamping by the Shogunate such as the Code of the Samurai, and the rebuilding was permitted;. By the way, an institution called the encampment which there was in the Edo era and Daiba and the battery built in the all parts of Japan as measures to the foreign ship by the late Tokugawa period are kinds of the castle. In addition, other than Goryokaku Fort, I largely shorten a budget for term of works or I am affected by the West expression construction of a castle corresponding to the cannon war, and there are Goryokaku Fort some castles where I am affected by the bastion type fortress, and it was constructed a castle, but the things that it is compressed, and construction was called off by the thing which is not at all the thing which can bear the actual fighting, establishment of prefectures in place of feudal domains are often found.
