Last year I made a visit to the Moriyama Castle landmark. During the time of Nobunaga, Moriyama Castle was in the hands of Nobunaga's uncle Oda Nobumitsu. If history is correct, he became the lord if the castle in 1535. Located near the Yada River in Owari Province, it measured between 167 by 190 feet. It was known as a hirayamajo or plain and mountain castle. I will not go into the Moriyama Kuzure incident. Moriyama before Nobumitsu became the lord was in the possession of the Matsudaira family. When Moriyama Castle was built and who constructed it is still unknown today.
The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 60) "Lord Bingo's younger brother, Lord Magosaburo (Nobumitsu), was truly outstanding exemplar of the profession of Arms. His residential castle was in a place called Moriyama."
Nobunaga no tame!
