The Sendai castle (せんだいじょう) is a castle on a hill in blue Hayama of current Aoba-ku, Sendai-shi, Miyagi (Michinoku country Miyagi-gun). The pen name "Aoba-jo Castle." (→ Sendai reference) that there is another name with "Gojoro". It was appointed (2003) on the historic spot of the country on August 27 in 2003.
A summary
I crossed it in about 270 to an establishment of prefectures in place of feudal domains / abandoned castle law after Masamune Date constructed it in the Keicho era year, and it was a castle of Date charges, and it was the administrative office of the Sendai feudal clan. It is appointed on the historic spot of the country.
I could put a function as the fortress away though I repeated restoration without several degrees while earthquakes suffered damage and passed through Boshin War as depths Uetsu powerful feudal lords alliance leader without never watching the war, and I could write it afterwards in the Taisho era from the Meiji early days, and the most were lost. Ote-mon Gate which was few remains of an ancient structure, side oar, 巽門 were appointed to a national treasure (an old national treasure), but it underwent the war by the air raid of the Pacific Wars and was destroyed by fire. Currently, the member of the gate of 寅 converted into the building of the Governor of Miyagi official house front gate is left.
Because I am located in blue Hayama, with a pen name called Aoba-jo Castle (あおばじょう), I generally tend to be called Aoba-jo Castle. This is unidentified whether mountain and which of the castle got the name of "green leaves" with the place name which was created since Sendai castle is done earlier. Blue Hayama comes from one of 仙台七崎 "green leaves ヶ 崎".
The history / history
Before the Edo era
Blue Hayama has a castle from the Date past, and I call myself a castle for 1000 generations, and I can write it at the middle in the Muromachi era from last years in the Kamakura era, and, 1,000 castles, Shimazu will do a castle as Michinoku Mamoru later at the start, and it is told even if Kokubun of local people of Kokubu Zhuang did a castle in last years in the Muromachi era.
The Edo era
When lord of a castle Morishige Kokubun who was an uncle of Masamune Date ran away in rivalry with Masamune, Sendai Castle became the abandoned castle.
I decided Masamune got the permission of Ieyasu Tokugawa after a fight of Sekigahara, and to move a castle to Sendai. I climbed blue Hayama to (Keicho era December 24, 5) on January 28, 1601 and, including the territory, changed the place name to Sendai. The Sendai castle which he built was Yamashiro consisting of a main enclosure and the western citadels of the castle and there was the castle tower, but did not have the castle tower. It was these points, and I turned my back, but it was being prevalent in the times with a matchless impregnable castle at the same period so as, as a result, the Sendai castle did Vizcaino, and to make you say "the only one which I was superior, and was the strongest again of Japan".
However, I started outworks of a castle building, and (Kanei era 14 years) was able to complete Tadamune Date in the next year in 1637 when the world became the peace of mind because the road of Yamagami and the foot was inconvenient. There is it in the inside of Hirose River as well as a main enclosure, but land is a flat place. The present head of a household of the the Dates lived in here, and the administration was done here, too. As for the time, I was missing, but outermost outworks were made with this almost simultaneously in major Kadowaki, the foot of blue Hayama. After this, the Sendai castle became the castle on a hill.
I lost a part of building and Ishigaki sometimes, and, through the Edo era, the Sendai castle was rebuilt by a fire and an earthquake each time. Because Sendai did not need to become the battlefield by the Boshin War either, the Sendai castle was able to put a duty as the fortress away since the foundation without taking attack once.
Modern times
The Tohoku head of the garrison of Imperial Army made Sendai castle the headquarters and was stationed. A main enclosure was destroyed then, and a stone and a tree were diverted to barracks construction. The northeastern stationary troops were renamed to Sendai stationary troops later. Furthermore, the second division was put when stationary troops system turned into a division system.
* A shrine dedicated to the spirits of the war dead was built in the ruins of the main enclosure (1904) in 1904. It is current 宮城縣護國神社.
* A gate built between the main gate and the main house of the palace-styled architecture in the Fujiwara period in the middle to the main enclosure was demolished (1920) in 1920 by Ote-mon Gate, and it was removed and reconstructed by the front gate of existing governor diplomatic establishments.
* Ote-mon Gate and a side oar (a corner oar) are appointed to an old national treasure (1931) in 1931.
* Masamune image was removed (1943) in 1943 by metal kind collection law. It should have dissolved entirely, but it is discovered that the chest was not dissolved by a head after the war. This bust is exhibited now in Sendai Municipal Museum.
* Occupied outworks of a castle list stage dressing rooms were destroyed by fire by an incendiary dropped by B29 of the United States Armed Forces in the case of Sendai air raid by U.S. forces entirely (1945) in Ote-mon Gate, side oar (a corner oar) (a national treasure), a guard tent in before dawn of 10th in July in 1945 of the last years of Pacific Wars, and the defense of the fatherland Shinto shrine was destroyed by fire. The building to be transmitted through by this from the Edo era became only 巽門 (たつみもん) of outermost outworks (there is the opinion destroyed by fire by the war damage of this day).
The present age
* U.S. Army was stationed after the war in the ruins of the second division, and it was lost building remains of an ancient structure for Edo period that existed that Sendai castle sign had entirely by three 丸巽門 having been done 破却 of. The U.S. forces returned here to the (1957) in 1957.
* The Masamune image removed during war (1954) in 1954 is rebuilt by concrete. This was a statue.
Tokoku University was in the outworks of a castle ruins after it was returned and became the Tokoku University Sendai campus. Among Sendai campuses (Sendai north campus, Sendai south campus), four faculty of liberal arts departments of the southern part, an attached library, a place with the attached botanical garden are the outworks of a castle.
* Miyagi Shrine (a name of the occupation period of 宮城縣護國神社) received national land disposal (1950) in 1950 and owned the main enclosure whole area. In Sendai-shi, a castle did not wish it was stolen the Shinto shrine and I negotiated and managed the part of the land and purchased a part. As of 2003 (2003) the part of the main enclosure of a thing of Sendai-shi but a part and a western citadel of the castle of the main enclosure are still things of the defense of the fatherland Shinto shrine. The person visiting the castle will watch a big torii and the signboard which it was written that I "will let you continue Yasukuni shrine official visit" in the place where there was the filling gate that is a central station. The front shrine of the defense of the fatherland Shinto shrine and Aoba-jo Castle museum, a dining room occupy the center of the main enclosure.
* Sendai Municipal Museum was opened (1961) in the outermost outworks ruins in 1961. The moat of outermost outworks stays as Naganuma, Lake five colors.
* A bronze statue was rebuilt (1962) in 1962, and it was erected as a mounting a horse image. Erected it earlier; concrete; stood, and the image was transferred by Iwade Yamashiro of Iwadeyamamachi (existing Osaki City).
* It was appointed (2003) on the historic spot of the country on August 27 in 2003.
* Aoba-jo Castle main enclosure Hall extended business hours than (2005) until 10:00 p.m. in 2005 and has begun to lay emphasis on night sightseeing around the night view of the Sendai-shi inner city to look at from Sendai Shiromoto-maru.
* It was chosen (2006) on April 6 in 2006 by 100 Japanese fine castles (the eighth), and 100 Japanese fine castle stamp rally of the national scale was started in June (2007) in 2007.
* "Moon automatic performance of the wake" to be able to put before Bansui Doi bronze statue with (2008), Sendai / Miyagi destination campaign in 2008 all day long from three times ten times (from 9:00 to 18:00) I increased it in) to 00 for every one hour. In addition, I came to light up Masamune Date mounting a horse image of Sendai Shiromoto-maru and Ishigaki by whole year from sunset to 11:00 p.m. To this, I did a toll parking lot (in the daytime normal car 400 yen / time) in the main enclosure with free opening by night after 6:00 p.m.
