Tatebayashi
Castle
is
a
flat
castle
with
a
castle
swamp
as
its
natural
stronghold,
and
is
also
known
as
Obiki
Castle.
Its
form
is
that
the
castle
marsh
is
used
as
the
outer
moat
on
the
east
side
of
the
castle,
and
the
low
plateau
that
protrudes
into
the
marsh
is
divided
into
Honmaru,
Ninomaru,
Sannomaru,
Hachimangu,
and
Minamiguruwa,
which
are
the
center
of
the
castle.
,
and
surrounding
it
were
the
Inari
enclosure,
the
Outer
enclosure,
and
the
Sogururu,
and
furthermore,
a
castle
town
was
placed
on
the
plateau
to
the
west,
all
of
which
It
was
surrounded
by
earthworks
and
a
moat.
Regarding
the
time
when
the
castle
was
built
and
the
person
who
built
it,
there
is
one
written
in
the
Edo
period
that
states
that
it
was
built
by
Terumitsu
Akai,
and
it
is
widely
known
along
with
the
``Fox
tail
legend'',
but
in
reality
it
is
not.
To
date,
no
records
have
been
found
of
this
temple
that
clearly
state
when
the
castle
was
built
or
who
built
it.
The
oldest
known
document
that
mentions
Tatebayashi
Castle
is
that
it
was
written
in
1471
that
the
Uesugi
army
used
the
name
Tatebayashi
Castle,
which
was
the
residence
of
Bunroku
and
Bunzo
Akai.
This
is
a
record
of
having
conquered
the.
Afterwards,
in
a
three-way
battle
between
the
Uesugi
clan
in
Echigo,
the
Takeda
clan
in
Kai,
and
the
Hojo
clan
in
Odawara,
the
``Nagao
clan''
and
``Hojo
clan''
came
to
control
Tatebayashi
Castle.
With
the
arrival
of
Tokugawa
Ieyasu
in
1590,
Yasumasa
Sakakibara,
one
of
the
four
Tokugawa
kings,
became
the
lord
of
the
castle
with
100,000
koku
(100,000
koku)
and
entered
the
Edo
period.
It
was
positioned
as
a
strategic
point
for
the
Edo
shogunate,
and
after
Tokugawa
Tsunayoshi
became
the
fifth
shogun,
it
was
positioned
as
an
important
place
related
to
the
Tokugawa
family
that
produced
the
shoguns,
and
was
an
important
place
for
the
Edo
shogunate
up
to
the
last
castle
lord,
the
Akimoto
clan.
It
prospered
as
the
residence
of
the
seven
families
who
served
as
rulers.
Most
of
the
castle's
buildings
were
destroyed
by
fire
in
1874,
but
some
of
the
earthworks
such
as
the
Honmaru,
Sannomaru,
Inari-kaku,
and
castle
town
still
remain
today,
and
the
Dobashi
Gate
in
the
Sannomaru
has
been
restored.
.
Tsuchibashi-mon
is
one
of
the
entrances
and
exits
to
the
center
of
the
castle
(Sannomaru),
and
when
it
was
in
the
castle,
it
was
used
as
a
side
gate
to
the
main
gate,
Sengan-mon.
This
Dobashi
Gate
was
restored
based
on
the
results
of
an
excavation
survey
conducted
in
1982,
and
the
foundations
of
three
gates
and
two
wells
were
discovered
during
the
preliminary
excavation
survey.
In
addition,
the
earthworks
that
remain
around
the
gate,
surrounding
the
Sannomaru,
date
back
to
the
Edo
period.
In
particular,
the
earthwork
that
extends
from
the
gate
in
the
shape
of
a
key
hand
is
called
``Shitomidoi,''
and
was
designed
so
that
the
inside
of
the
fort
could
not
be
seen
when
the
gate
was
opened.It
is
the
only
remaining
structure
in
the
prefecture
and
is
valuable.
It
is
something.
