This is moka studio 2020. This video explains Azuchi Castle. This channel focuses on mountain castles and battles during the Sengoku period. Azuchi was located in a place that connected Hokuriku, Ise, Yamato, Owari, and Kyoto, and was a land and lake junction. In January 1576, Nobunaga began construction on Azuchiyama, and in May 1579, he moved into the completed Tenshu. However, just three years later, the Honnoji Incident occurred and Azuchi Castle burned down. Although it only lasted for three years, the significance of Azuchi Castle in castle history was very great. In this video, we will introduce the stone walls, castle tower, and main road of Azuchi Castle. Azuchi Castle was not built solely for defensive functions such as the straight main road, but rather it was also a large aspect as a device to symbolize authority, such as the arrangement of the main road, castle tower, and high stone walls. Azuchi Castle is regarded as a groundbreaking castle that greatly changed the previous concept of castles, and had a major influence on castle construction thereafter.
