During the Warring States period (1467-1603)

the Murakami Kaizoku prospered here with three branches of the Murakami clan creating powerful strongholds on Innoshima Island (Onomichi Shiosa i/ Yamazato area City Hieroshima Prefecture), Island (Imabari City Ehime Pref.) and Kurushima Island (also Imabari). Each family built many sea-forts on different islands in the chain and took firm control of the entire region. They based their activities on these forts and ruled the main sea routes and ports of the Seto Inland Sea. The first Battle of Kizugawaguchi, in which the three families won the victory over Nobunaga Oda’s fleet, was the most famous of the many naval battles engaged in by the Murakami Kaizoku. Their presence influenced the political stance of the rulers of the country and the feudal lords. They were also men of culture with a taste for tea and incense and a knowledge of literature. The sea forts built by the Murakami Kaizoku, the temples and shrines they venerated and their maritime culture have been passed down the Historic artifacts from the generations and their imprint still remains in this region. If you visit the Geiyo Islands that connect the cities of Imabari and Onomichi, you Innoshima Murakamis, Important can enjoy the great beauty of the archipelago and experience the rich past of the Murakami Kaizoku, Japan’s greatest pirates.
