About Takamatsu Castle

Takamatsu Castle is positioned in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, on the island of Shikoku, Japan. This castle is also known as Tamamo Castle Takamatsu Castle is thought for the use of seawater in its moat and currently the vintage keep of the fort was successfully restored and opened for public viewing. Takamatsu Castle became built in 1590 by way of Ikoma Chikamasa, the first feudal lord of Takamatsu Domain.

The castle, of the hirajo plains citadel kind, became constructed very close to sea level, on marshy floor that shaped some thing of a herbal moat. This distinguishes it from the more stereotypical photograph of a yamashiro mountain castle, constructed atop a hill. It become at the beginning constructed by way of the Mimura family and managed by way of their vassals, the Ishikawa circle of relatives. Both families had been eliminated as significant powers via the Mori extended family, who seized Takamatsu, and all of Bitchu province, in 1575.

The Mori entrusted the fort to their vassal Shimizu Muneharu.Shimizu was closely related to the Ishikawa own family. It's possible that he become already lord of Takamatsu rapidly earlier than the Mori attacked, turning to their facet upon the defeat of the Ishikawa, to hold his prestige and strength, together with the citadel. Takamatsu Castle become featured in Namco's Soulcalibur as Mitsurugi's degree. There are variations of the degree: one all through the siege and the other takes region inside the wintry weather while the combating has stopped.
