    The History of Hamamatsu Castle （浜松城の変遷） Research and Supervision by Hiroshima University Professor Emeritus MIURA Masayuki Illustrations by ITAGAKI Makoto Estimated current location the Castle Town （城下町） Central Area of Hamamatsu Castle and the Castle Town Uunder TOKUGAWA Ieyasu （徳川家康在城期の浜松城中枢部と城下町） In 1570, TOKUGAWA Ieyasu moved his base from Okazaki Castle to Hikuma Castle and began construction to expand the castle, changing its name from Hikuma Castle to Hamamatsu Castle. Due to the expansion, the central area of Hamamatsu Castle was moved to its current location. It can be said that TOKUGAWA Ieyasu built Hamamatsu Castle from scratch due to the large-scale constructions he made, especially around the year 1578. Ieyasu used Hamamatsu Castle as a base until he moved to Sunpu Castle in 1586. Taking advantage of the terrain at the edge of the Mikatahara plateau, Hamamatsu Castle is thought to have stretched out eastwards and westwards. To the north, it stretched out towards the wetlands that were suitable for defense. The scope of Ieyasu’s expansion of Hamamatsu castle covered the castle tower bailey, main bailey, second bailey, Nishi-hajo bailey, Shimizu bailey, Sakuza bailey and the outer fort. Afterwards, Hamamatsu Castle that was built by Ieyasu went through renovations under the TOYOTOMI family retainer, HORIO Yoshiharu, who was the new castle lord. Large areas of the castle were buried underground but the size and positions of the baileys remained the same. During Ieyasu’s time, the stone walls or castle tower were not yet built. Instead, the bailey was enclosed by earthen walls and contained wooden houses with wooden shingle roofs.

  • Die Architektur Der Japanischen Burganlagen
    1 Vorbemerkung Die vorliegende Hausarbeit entstand im Rahmen der Veranstaltung 10.478, —Geschichte der japanischen Architektur“, unter der Leitung von Dr. Karl Hennig im Wintersemester 1999/2000 am Japanologischen Seminar der Universität Hamburg. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, herausragende Charakteristika der japanischen Burgarchitektur zu bestimmen, zu erläutern und in Beziehung zueinander zu setzen. Obwohl das Haupt- augenmerk auf der Architektur ruht, können Bezüge zur Geschichte, Politik oder Wirt- schaft der betreffenden Epoche nicht immer ausgelassen werden. Oftmals werden Entwicklungen in der Architektur nur durch die Interaktion mit anderen Bereichen ini- tiiert oder katalysiert und gerade dann scheint eine Erläuterung der Hintergründe not- wendig, wohlwissend, dass sich für eine angemessen differenzierte Betrachtung der Ma- terie im sehr begrenzten Rahmen einer Hausarbeit an vielen Stellen keine Gelegenheit findet. Daher kann keine Garantie für Vollständigkeit gewährt werden. Hamburg im März 2000 C.
