Komine Castle - Japanese Castles (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
| Link Komine Castle, also known as Shirakawa Castle, is a hilltop style Japanese Castle located in the city of Shirakawa Fukushima Prefecture. Chikatomo Yuki ordered the construction of Komine Castle in 1340. By 1627 control of Komine Castle had changed to Nagashige Niwa, who in 1628 ordered the removal of 100,000 stone blocks from the nearby Tanagura Castle to aid the defence of Komine Castle. By 1632 the enhanced Komine Castle was completed and renamed Shirakawa Castle. In 1868, during the Boshin War, Komine Castle came under siege from Emperor Meiji's forces, who destroyed the castle. Between 1991 and 1994 significant parts of Komine Castle were reconstructed include the donjon (tower). |
