Kuroda Castle

My good Okehazama researcher friend Seishiro Mizuno has written a new article on Kuroda Castle.  http://ow.ly/LFUxg

Kuroda Castle was the birthplace of Yamauchi Kazutoyo (father was Moritoyo), who later served Nobunaga.  The castle was built during the Meio Era (1492-1501) by Goto Mitsumasa.  The castle landmark is not far from JR Kisogawa Station, a five minute walk.  One can see the symbol of the Yamauchi house, the oak leaf (kashi) all over the landmark area.  Here is another link in Japanese: http://www.geocities.jp/chiezoikomai/owari/kuroda.html
