The Development of Castles by the Tsugaru Clan as Seen Through Written Records and Archaeological Relics

本研究的目的是通过对文字记载和实物遗迹的考察，阐明津轻氏统治时期津轻地区城堡的建立和发展（最初称为Ohura氏族）从世纪后半叶结束的不统一和内战时期的衰落时期开始。在不同时期，包括谷里城、大浦城、堀越城和广崎城在内的各种城堡都被用作津轻家族的据点。而不是看每个城堡作为简单的一个单独的实体，我们试图澄清它们之间的连续性和不连续性，以了解其发展的历史阶段和特定特征.我们能够通过比较研究书面信件和记录，图纸和绘画，以及陶器和其他考古文物，将每个城堡置于适当的历史背景中。 关于我们 城堡遗址的所有发掘。我们在以下的文章和出版物中介绍了我们的研究结果。特别是，在江户时代的广崎封建政府文件和图纸中，我们通过积极调查包含津轻城堡描绘的广崎和周围地区的广崎金戈的音乐作品和天纳Kakiage-ezu [天纳图纸]的实际材料进行了验证。通过查阅这些资料，我们可以了解到这些图纸的历史背景、用途、保存和流传的方式等。此外，我们还通过在这些遗址发现的文物，考察了谷里、大浦、堀越三座城堡之间的联系，并根据考古发现和图纸，研究了龟冈城的历史背景。并探讨与广崎氏早期开发新稻田的关系。详细研究结果，请参阅三月出版的《从文字记载和考古遗迹看津轻氏城堡的开发》。少

The objective of the current study was to, through the examination of written records and physical relics, elucidate the establishment and development of the castles that were built in the Tsugaru region under the reign of the Tsugaru Clan (originally known as the Ohura Clan) from the waning days of the period of disunity and civil wars that came to an end in the latter half of the 16th century.During different periods, various castles including Tanesato Castle, Ohura Castle, Horikoshi Castle, and Hirosaki Castle, were used as strongholds of the Tsugaru Clan. Rather than looking at each castle as simply an individual entity, We tried to clarify the continuities and discontinuities among them in order to understand their historical stages of development and particular characteristics. We were able to place each castle in its proper historical context through comparative study of written correspondence and records, drawings and paintings, and pottery and other artifacts from archaeologic … More al excavations of castle sites. We have presented our findings in the below-mentioned articles and publications.Specifically, among the Hirosaki feudal government documents and drawings dating from the Edo Period, we especially performed verification through active investigation of actual materials in the cases of the Hirosaki Narabini Kingo no Ongezu [Drawings of Hirosaki and Environs] and Tenna Kakiage-ezu [Tenna Drawings], which contain portrayals of the Tsugaru castles. With full access to these reference materials, we were able to investigate the historical backgrounds and purposes of the drawings, the manner in which they were stored and handed down, and other aspects.In addition, we considered the connections between the Tanesato, Ohura, and Horikoshi castles, as evidenced by artifacts found at those sites, and researched the historical context of Kamegaoka Castle based on archaeological findings and drawings, as well as discuss the relationship with the development of new rice fields in the early days of the Hirosaki Clan reign.For details of our research findings, please see The Development of Castles by the Tsugaru Clan as Seen Through Written Records and Archaeological Relics, published in March.
