"Zhen", the common name is Yoshihiro Yashichiro Town Manager.
In the fourth year of Eiroku, Takahashi Kansune, the leader of the former wealthy family, united the Mori clan to betray the Otomo family. In the first year of Gengame, he was completely defeated and was chased to Kokura in Bunzen. Because of the traitor's betrayal, Otomo Sorin decided that he must send a descendant of the Otomo clan to succeed the famous Takahashi family and revive it.
"The Takahashi family's home castles, Homan and Iwaya, are very important to the family and cannot be arbitrarily arranged to guard. Although Yoshihiro Jinri is young, he is brave and good at fighting and has no shortcomings. At the same time, the Ichimanda family, the head family of Takahashi Kanane, and the Yoshihiro family, the head family of Zhenli, are related by marriage, so it is normal for them to inherit their family names."
So in the first year of Gengame (1570). In May (some say it was in the twelfth year of Eiroku), Yoshihiro Jinri inherited Kanzune's old territory, Mikasa County (located around today's Dazaifu City) and became the lord of Homan and Iwaya Castle. He also inherited the Takahashi family The Tongzi [Zhong] was renamed Gaoqiao Town Zhong, and later he became a monk named Shaoyun.
At the same time that Shao Yun entered the two castles of Homan Iwaya, the most important general of the Otomo family, Kanren Toji, took over the Otomo family's largest stronghold in Chikuzen Province, Tachibana Castle and changed its name to Tachibana Michyuki (with Shao Yuki). Just like Yun inherited the Takahashi family, Kanren also inherited the Tachibana family, which was formerly Otomo Shigeomi and became extinct due to the betrayal of the master, under the order of Otomo Sorin). In fact, according to Zong Lin's original idea, Tachibana Castle should be guarded by Shao Yun's father Yoshihiro Kanri, but because Kanri fell ill during the battle with the Mori family and his health deteriorated, he was sent to suppress Chikugo. Huji Kanren asked him to take over the position of governor of Tachibana Castle.
Since then, the elder Doyuki has made important contributions to the control of Chikuzen by the Otomo family. In addition to preparing the castle within the territory, he also protected the Dazaifu Tenman Imperial Palace and other shrines and temples under the castle. He also made many contributions to civil affairs. Yoshihiro Jin supposedly got acquainted with the wealthy Hakata merchant Shimai clan through his elder brother Yoshihiro Jinnobu at this time.
In the sixth year of Tensho (1578), the Otomo family was severely defeated in the "Battle of Ergawa" between Hyuga Kingdom and the Shimazu clan of Satsuma. Takahashi Shoun's brother Yoshihiro Jinri also died in the rear. After that, Shao Yun and Dao Xue were like firefighters going around suppressing the Chikuzen wealthy families who were about to take action because of the Otomo family's strategic failure. In the seventh year of Tensho (1579), they defeated the coalition forces of Akizuki Tanemi, Harada Nobutane, Munakata Ujisada and others with inferior forces, which made their reputation even greater. However, because the head of the family, the Otomo clan, had to implement strategic contraction after the defeat of Ergawa and concentrate on running the Bungo hometown, they were unable to continue the plan of the Chikuzen strategy. As a result, the Chikuzen castles of the Otomo clan fell one by one, and in the end only the two castles of the Takahashi clan, Homaniwaya, and the Tachibana clan's main castle, Tachibana Castle, struggled to support themselves in isolation. At this time, the situation in Kyushu evolved into the three families of Satsuma, Shimazu, Hizen Ryuzoji, and Bungo Otomo competing for hegemony (historically known as Kyushu Three Kingdoms).
There is a popular saying in Chikuzen, "Where there is Shao Yun, Doyuki will appear." This is because Shao Yun usually conducts military operations together with Tachibana Doyuki. Daoxue is a famous general in the East Kingdom. For Shao Yun, Daoxue is his tactical teacher, so Shao Yun respects Daoxue as he respects his own father. The Takahashi family's military strength has grown into a powerful force comparable to that of the Tachibana family, and they have also gained the reputation of "Otomo's Double Wall". In the ninth year of Tianzheng (1581), Shao Yun's legitimate son Tong Hu married Dao Xue's only daughter Yan Qiandai as his adopted son-in-law. At first, Shao Yun was not willing to let his legitimate son become someone else's son-in-law. However, Shao Yun agreed to Tonghu after considering Doyuki's eagerness to find a good heir and establishing a more friendly relationship with the Tachibana family. Inherited. Another theory is that Shao Yun was very active in unifying the tiger and bringing him an heir.
Shao Yun said to Tong Hu at the banquet when Tong Hu left, "From today on, Daoxue Dian is your father. And the fate of the Wu family being unable to catch Mo may make me and Daoxue meet tomorrow." Sir, we met each other on the battlefield. At that time, as the vanguard of the Tachibana family, you must not hesitate to take my life. Doxueden hates people who are obsessed with the past. If you regret your actions. , the only way to apologize to Daoxuedian is to commit seppuku.
”
Although Shaoyun had strict requirements for Tonghu, the love between father and son was indelible after all. He gave Tonghu the sword Bizen Changmitsu that had been with him for many years and said, "Ah, things are impermanent. Maybe I, Shaoyun, will be asked for it tomorrow. Take this knife and carry it with you. Every time you see it, you must be filial to your current adoptive parents and be loyal to your master's family, just like me. As I said before, I want to embark on the path of a true samurai." Sootora, who married into the Tachibana family, changed his name to Tachibana Totora and became Sakon Shogun.
On March 24, the twelfth year of Tensho (1584), during the Kikihara War between the Ryuzoji family and the Shimazu family on the Shimabara Peninsula, the Ryuzoji family became the leader of the family, Ryuzoji Takanobu. The following people were killed, which also marked the end of Kyushu Three Kingdoms. The Otomo family naturally had to face a frontal attack launched by the Shimadzu family. At that time, the head of the Otomo family, Otomo Yoshitomi, was determined to preemptively recover Chikugo, which was being cannibalized by the Shimadzu family, in order to prevent the Shimadzu family from advancing northward. His brother-in-law, Matsumoto, led an army of 7,000 troops to attack the castle. However, the Otomo family's army, which had been severely weakened by the "Battle of Erchuan", lacked both brave and wise generals. Those who went into battle were all inexperienced and young men. people. With only 2,000 people guarding Kuroki's Neko Castle, they were unable to capture it for more than a month. Otomo Yoshitsune, who had no other choice but to use his last trump card, asked Otomo to use double walls. Therefore, Daoxue and Shao Yun prepared five thousand soldiers to go out to build the rear, and Shao Yun, who had sent out all the main forces to build the rear, had already realized that he would lose the two cities of Baomanyanwu (Shao Yun's realization was correct, if not for the wise and brave young man) The talented Tachibana Tongtora shows off his power and defeats the enemy. The Chikuzen empire that Daoxue and Shaoyun have worked hard to build may all fall to the enemy).
The two generals led their troops quickly through the heart of the enemy area, which greatly surprised the soldiers of the Otomo family. They used scolding to encourage the Bungo forces, and the effect was obvious. The Cattail Castle, which had been unable to be conquered for a long time, was instantly defeated. After that, the Otomo family quickly occupied most of Chikugo's territory. The biggest obstacle to accomplishing the planned goals of this campaign is the largest fortified city in the Chikugo Kingdom, Liuhe Castle, known as the "Immortal City". In this advantageous situation, Bungo, as the main force, suddenly retreated under the leadership of the generals Otomo Inie and Tahara Yoshimori. Their reason was: "We have fought hard for a long time, are we giving the merits of war to Daoxue Shaoyun? No matter how hard we try, we will not get any credit. We are just making clothes for others." Regarding this, Otomo Shuangbi could only sigh helplessly, "Even Toyogo Shiki would be so short-sighted."
In the 13th year of Tensho (1585), Ieharu, who was guarding Ryuzoji Temple in Liuhe City, took advantage of the civil strife of the Otomo Expeditionary Force to go out of the city to confront Otomo's army. Ieharu, who had an army of 30,000, was defeated by Otomo with a small number and had to flee back to Hizen. However, the Dayi Army with limited strength, although they won several joint battles later, were unable to make up for their strategic disadvantages, and Liuhe City was finally gained and lost.
On September 11th of the same year, Tachibana Michyuki, the pillar of the Otomo family, passed away in the Kitano Formation. The death of this famous general of the Eastern Kingdom was recorded in detail in Shao Yun's "Chizenji Ranki".
「The dead man's stick is lost and the dark night is light.んとの "思いしことの空しく、心いかばかりか思れなむ"
As a palace soldier, Shao Yun protected Daoxue's remains and sent them back to Chikuzen. At this time, the enemy forces, led by the Ryuzoji family, strictly prohibited their own forces from following the friendly forces in pursuit in order to show respect for this great veteran.
After the death of Michiyuki, who was like a patron saint, Otomo Sorin, who had been living in seclusion, felt the seriousness of the situation, so he approached Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had established a powerful force in Honshu, and established a master-slave relationship. , trying to rely on external forces to conquer Shimadzu. Zong Lin also recommended Shao Yun and his son to Hideyoshi.
"The Akizuki family, who were my family's allies in the morning, and the Ryuzoji family who aligned themselves with the Ryuzouji family at dusk, had no moral integrity in their hearts. Only two samurai, Tachibana Michizuki and Takahashi Shoun, They are military commanders who cherish their military reputation, respect justice, and understand shame. Therefore, I recommend them to you and hope that they can become the royal family members of your house." Therefore, Hideyoshi and Shaoyun established a direct relationship with Doxue's stepson Tonghu and issued a Zhusin Certificate. While most of the people in Kyushu were drifting away following Shimazu's whirlwind, there was a military commander who stood out as his own.
He is the lord of Hizen Katsuo Castle, Tsukushiguangmon. He originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to capture Baoman Castle when Doxue died, but failed, and then proposed to marry his daughter to Shao Yun's second son, Tong Zeng. This marriage won the With the success, Hirato also established a relationship with the Toyotomi family through the Otomo family.
Shao Yun considered that guarding Bao Man City would be very difficult, because Shao Yun’s residence was in Iwa, and the person responsible for guarding Bao Man City was Tong Zeng, Shao Yun’s second son, who was only fifteen years old. young man. If he can become the son-in-law of the Hizen wealthy Chikushi family, it will not only enhance Boman's safety factor, but also pull the Chikushi family into the anti-Shimadzu chariot. What's more, the Takahashi family and the Chikushi family are related. Shao Yun's wife Song Yunyuan and Guangmen's wife are sisters, and because their territories are close, the retainers of the two families are either acquaintances or related by blood. Any strength is good.
But there are also people who do not want this marriage to succeed. The largest wealthy family in Chikuzen is Akizuki Tanemi. He and Hiromon had the same plan and started to contact Shoun. Unfortunately, Hiromon got the first step. Therefore, Akizuki Tanemi faced the threat of the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Takahashi, Chikushi and Tachibana. . In view of this, Akizuki Zane had no choice but to seek help from the Satsuma Shimazu clan, the sworn enemy of the Otomo family. Shimadzu had a plan to quickly capture the Otomo castles in Chikuzen in order to suppress the Toyotomi family before they intervened in the Kyushu war, and to block the Sekiguchi Strait in order to implement the plan to surrender the Otomo clan.
However, the head of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Yoshihisa, has been hesitant. It was not until mid-June of the 14th year of Tensho that he decided to appoint one clan, Shimazu Tadanagi, as the general general to attack 20,000 people. The military force carried out the Northern Expedition, and with the "enthusiastic" participation of the wealthy families in Zhu and Fei, the total military strength reached 50,000. On the sixth day of July, the Shimazu Army launched an attack after returning to Tsukushihiromon without success. Although the Chikushiba Army put up a heroic resistance, they could not change their numerical disadvantage. After the death of his son Harumon, Hiromon completely lost his will to fight. The Jin family surrendered.
After surrendering to the Chikushi family, the Shimazu army invaded Mikasa County, the territory of the Takahashi family, on July 12, the 14th year of Tensho, and surrounded Iwaya Castle. Shao Yun summoned all his retainers before the Shimazu army invaded and said, "I am determined to meet the Shimazu army in Iwaya Castle. If I run away because the army is pressing down on the border, and abandon the city where I have lived for many years when hearing the news, this is not what a samurai would do at all, let alone It is the duty of a samurai to be loyal to his master until death."
His idea is that even if the combined forces of Takahashi and Chikushi are no match for Shimadzu, he may be able to save his life if he is lucky. If you are good, you will only die in battle. It would be better to simply sacrifice oneself to buy Tachibana Muneshige and Takahashi Tomaso sufficient time to prepare for the war, and also allow the old, weak, women and children to escape to Homan Castle. He still hoped to wait for Lord Guanbai's reinforcements by sticking to the rock house, but he had to be prepared that the reinforcements would not arrive immediately. "So there is no need for the following people to participate in the Cage City: one is the person who supports the Cage City, the other is one of the father and son, and the third is the brother who is responsible for continuing the family line. In addition, those who are not willing to stay and participate in the Cage City War You can leave this city."
But the Takahashi family is united, and none of the samurai in the family are traitors. After Michizuki's death, he inherited the Tachibana family. After learning that his father was determined to fight against Iwaya for life and death, he hurriedly sent his veteran Toki Settsu to persuade Shao Yun to abandon Iwaya and concentrate his troops to defend the fortified city of Homan. It would be best to retreat to Tachibana Mountain Castle. . Regarding this, Shao Yun said, "Under the current circumstances, it is not a good idea to stay together with the soldiers. Although the Sa army has 50,000 people, with Shao Yun's desperate resistance, it is estimated that it can last for the 14th or 5th. It can probably kill 3,000 enemy troops. Although the Sa army was aggressive, they were defeated by 3,000 people here. By the time they reached Tachibana Castle, they were at the end of their strength. They would not be able to take down the well-defended Tachibana Castle within 20 days. This sum total**. *It takes Sa's army a month, and by then the Chinese reinforcements will have crossed the sea and entered Kyushu. In that case, Tonghu's fate will be guaranteed, and Shao Yun will die without regrets."
Settsu had no words to answer and could only lower his head. At this time, the senior minister of the Takahashi family, Yamayama, came forward and said, "My lord, you should listen to Totoraden's advice and please go to Tachibana Castle quickly. I am now in charge of Iwaya Castle." The city is right, we will not stop the defensive war just because one person leaves, I will live or die with this city." Shao Yun was moved to tears after hearing the words of the Zhongwu. He said, "Such loyalty and bravery penetrates my heart and soul like a sharp sword. How could I watch a loyal minister like you die on the battlefield."
Totoki Settsu, who was unable to complete his mission, only carried his Shao Yun's letter to Tong Hu returned to Tachibana Castle.
Tototora had no choice but to plead with the Tachibana family retainers who were not yet familiar with him to volunteer to join the reinforcements sent to Iwaya Castle led by Yoshida Ukyo. During the Tokugawa shogunate period, his name was changed to Tachibana Muneshige, and this is what he said in memory of this time.
"At that time, I had just taken over the Tachibana family, and most of the retainers were the relics of the ancestor Dosuki Gong. I couldn't ask them to join the reinforcements that were destined to die. At this time, Ukyo Yoshida I took the initiative to sign up and said: "Serving the country with loyalty should put justice first." At this time, other retainers signed up one after another, and I was very touched. Therefore, the only way I can repay Yoshida and others for their loyalty is to take good care of their descendants. ”
After receiving Tachibana’s reinforcements, Iwaya Castle only had 763 guards led by Shao Yun. They had to deal with the 50,000 Shimazu army. Sajun set up the main formation at Hannyaji Temple south of Iwaya Castle, and set up a frontline command post at Kannonji Temple under Iwaya Castle. Shimazu Tadaga, the general of the Sa Army, first sent monks from Futakaichi Shoganji Temple as envoys to Iwaya Castle to persuade him, but Shao Yun refused to persuade him to surrender and drove him back.
However, on the 13th, the envoy Kobayashi Shinbei sent by Kuroda Takataka, the military supervisor of the Toyotomi family, entered Iwaya Castle and advised Shao Yun to retreat to Tachibana Castle. Shao Yun's answer was, "It is impossible for me to retreat back to Tachibana Castle when things have reached this point. I have already prepared to die in this city. But please convey my gratitude to His Highness Guan Bai for your concern. I can only I repay his kindness underground. As the envoy of Kuroda-den, since you can get through the enemy's encirclement outside the city, your palace's safety should be guaranteed. Please also inform me of the enemy's formation."< /p>
As a samurai, Shinbei admired Shao Yun's decision very much and planned to join the Cage City as a volunteer. However, Shao Yun said that it was the master's duty to die in battle and sent several people to send Shinbei out of the city. The Saskatchewan army launched an attack on July 14th. Thus began the "Battle of Iwaya Castle", considered the most brutal fierce battle in the history of Japan's Warring States Period. Facing an enemy force fifty times their own, the city soldiers, under the command of Shao Yun, launched a fierce counterattack and launched a fierce battle day and night. There is such a record in "Chikuzen Sufudoki".
"All day and night, the gunfire never stopped, and the cries of the soldiers fighting echoed in the earth. The city was full of places where life and death were decided. Attack after attack was repelled, and life was in battle. "Disappeared"
There is such a record in "Beifei War Records": The Sa army launched a non-stop fierce attack for more than ten days and suffered great damage, and some villages were lost. things. As a general, Tadanagi considered that the losses would be too great, so he sent soldiers to capture the farmers living nearby and force them to lead the way to cut off the water source of Iwaya Castle. Even so, the morale of the city soldiers was still extremely high, and it could be said that they could not get out of the firing line even with minor injuries. However, the Sa Army, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, successively sent fresh troops to replace the attack. The fatigue of the defenders reached its limit. Finally, on the 26th, the outer walls of Iwaya Castle were breached, and the defenders retreated to Ninomaru and Sannomaru. . The pursuing Sa army retreated under the attack of large rocks and iron cannons and crossbows, leaving behind hundreds of corpses with broken limbs.
The Sa army, which suffered great losses, sent Xina Tibetans as military envoys to propose favorable peace negotiation conditions to Shao Yun. Shao Yun deliberately concealed his real name and used the pseudonym of Aso Gaiji to receive the envoy. "When the master's family is prosperous, you have to work hard to gain fame, and when the master's family is in decline, you have to sacrifice your life for it. Wouldn't you be willing to sacrifice your life for the master's family when the Shimazu family is about to perish? Well. A true warrior will not be a villain who wants to follow the crowd." Hearing this, the Xinna Tibetan had no choice but to return. Despite this, Tadaka still did not give up and sent an envoy into the city again. The result was predictable, Shao Yun refused. In view of the ineffectiveness of the peace talks, Tadaga was determined to launch a general offensive on the next day, the 27th.
In the early morning of July 27th (between 4 and 6 o'clock), the Sa army launched its final general offensive. Although Shao Yun's masters and subordinates fought desperately to defend themselves, their defeat was only a matter of time in front of the Sa army that swarmed over their own bodies and trampled on them. After saying goodbye to Shao Yun, the remaining soldiers launched a heroic counterattack against the Sa army with their bodies covered with bruises. Shao Yun, who commanded the defensive battle in Honmaru, personally gave medicine to the wounded as a sign of encouragement, and recited Buddhist scriptures to mourn the dead. At this time, Sa's army finally invaded Honmaru, so Shao Yun, holding a long sword and leading Hatamoto, rushed into Sa's army's formation and killed seventeen people. Shao Yun's heroic performance at this time is recorded in the "Unofficial History of the Western Fan": "Shao Yun was extremely heroic. He led his troops into battle and defeated the Sa army's formation several times, killing many people."
Facing the frantic fighting of Shao Yun and others, the timid enemy army was defeated and escaped from the main pill. However, Shao Yun was also wounded in several places, and only the last fifty soldiers were left. Most of them were seriously injured.
Shao Yun knew that he was at his last moment. Yoshino Sakyo, who had been following Shao Yun's flag, asked Shao Yun, "Are we going to set fire to the museum?" Shao Yun said, "That kind of thing is meaningless. If you die for loyalty, don't think about what's behind you! If they don't see my body, they might think that I escaped in the chaos. As a samurai, I want to have my own life. The consciousness of having his head taken away by others."
After saying this, Shao Yun committed suicide by seppuku at the age of thirty-nine, around five o'clock in the afternoon. With Shao Yu as an example, all the remaining warriors committed seppuku and died. Ryo Yoshino Sakyo, who was introduced as the mistress of luck, also committed suicide with the same knife. The generals of the Sa Army who rushed into Honmaru in order to seize Shao Yun's head stopped in surprise when they saw the heroic scene in front of them.
Shao Yun decided to carve his death sentence on the door before committing suicide, " Corpse (かばね) をば Iwaya no moss bury めて ぞ cloud well のempty name を と ど む べ き" and now four The ruins of the Iwaya Castle Honmaru in Ojiyama are recorded with the following words: "流れての多の世远くburyもれぬ名をやIwaya no moss no water". These two farewell poems can convey Shao Yun's mood at that time.
The heads of Shao Yun’s masters and slaves were sent to the Shimadzu main camp for the first actual inspection. Although Tadanagi Shimazu, the general of the Sa Army, was hostile to Shao Yun, he still gave him high praise and used the highest military salute to perform the first actual inspection. Moreover, Tadanagi sighed: "Hey! Such a brave general died in my hands. How pleasant it would be to be friends with him. Bows and arrows can kill people, but now I hate them. ." He felt very sorry for Shao Yun's death. However, after it was confirmed that Shao Yun was killed in the battle, cheers of victory rang out in the Sajun camp, and everyone was happy to have survived the fierce battle.
This battle dealt a huge blow to the Shimadzu army. The Shimadzu side killed General Ge 27qi, and as many as 3,000 people were killed. There were also 1,500 wounded. The dead were This kind of heavy damage, which was twice the number of the injured, was far beyond the range expected by the Sasha army. The reinforcements commanded by Kakukane Kamoi who departed from Hyuga Country were almost completely wiped out. In the "Battle of Otokawa", the brave general Yamada Yunobu who fooled the Otomo Army at Takajo and made a significant contribution to the prosperity of the Shimadzu family was also defeated in this battle. He was seriously injured and fell into a dangerous state of unconsciousness.
For Shimadzu’s stubborn behavior of forcing a frontal attack, it can be considered a failed strategy. However, for the wealthy families who followed Shimadzu, they could not easily defeat a powerful army of up to 50,000 people. " Rock", secretly making a new assessment of Sa Jun's slowness. This was the result that Shao Yun hoped for by sticking to the small city on the front line, and it was also one of his purposes in luring Shimazu's army to attack Iwaya Castle. None of the soldiers who participated in the defense of Iwaya Castle died here, but all those who escaped escaped. Therefore, there is such a record in "Chikuzen Kunsu Fudoki": "Shaoyun fought to the death because he received favors from the Otomo family, and everyone else was inspired by his loyalty, and no one did anything that violated loyalty." ” After the Shimazu army killed Shao Yun, although it only took one day to surrender the strong castle Homan and quickly surrounded Tachibanayama Castle, the morale and time lost by the Shimazu army in Iwaya Castle were irreparable. , so Shaoyun's eldest son Tonghu, who was good at seizing opportunities, successfully delayed the time until Hideyoshi's army landed in Bunzen Country. Tonghu inflicted heavy losses on the retreating Shimazu army and recaptured the two cities of Homan Iwaya, achieving great results in Shao Yun's revenge battle.
The following year, Hideyoshi, who surrendered the Shimazu family with a large army, lamented the loyalty of the Shao Yun master and his subordinates when passing through Dazaifu, praised him as "the beauty of troubled times" and felt very sorry for his death in battle. After Shao Yun's death, his eldest son Tong Hu was praised by Hideyoshi as "the brave and loyal Zhen Xi Yi" and gave him the favor of becoming a member of the family. As the military commander with the most merit in the Kyushu conquest, Totora not only became an independent official of the Toyotomi family from the Otomo family, but also obtained a territory of more than 130,000 koku in the Liuhe River in Chikugo Province. The second son Tomasu (later renamed Tachibana Naotsugu), who became a prisoner of the Shimazu army, was also successfully rescued and was given the territory of 18,000 koku in Miike, Chikugo Province, and became an independent daimyo like his elder brother. Later, due to the Sekigahara War, Tongtora's possessions were confiscated, but after hard work, the Tachibana family was finally revived.
After serving the Tokugawa family, Tomaso, who inherited the name of the Takahashi family, changed his name to Tachibana Naotsugu at the persuasion of Honda Masanobu.
Tonghu built Tensoji Temple in the fiefdom of Liuhe, Tongzeng built Shaoyun Temple in the fiefdom of Sanchi, and Shaoyun's retainer Fujiuchizaemon Wei Shigekatsu built Saishoji Temple in Dazaifu to worship Shaoyun. and the generals who died in Iwaya Castle.
