loffy 1 day 1 photo post #6 Wakayama Castle

I took this photo at Wakayama - Japan.

Introduce:

Wakayama Castle in Wakayama, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, sits at the mouth of the Kii River. Originally 太田 castle, home of the Saiga Ikki, it was captured by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1585, during the Siege of 根本寺; many monks from 根本寺 sought refuge in 太田, which was soon destroyed by flood. Hideyoshi ordered to build three sides wall of the castle, focusing the rainwaters and diverting the river to destroyed the castle. As they are hunger, the samurai, monks inside 太田 surrendered, and the last fifty warrior monks led a final benzai charge against Hideyoshi's army.

和歌山城坐落於日本和歌山縣和歌山紀伊河口。是太田最初的城堡，雜賀眾的老家，秀吉在1585年控制了這座城，在根本寺被圍攻期間;許多來自根本寺的僧人在太田尋求避難，但是太田很快被洪水摧毀。而秀吉命令在城堡三面建造水壩，集中所有雨水，及轉移河水毀壞城堡。隨著飢餓，太田內的大部份武士，僧侶和農民投降，剩下五十名僧侶戰士對秀吉的軍隊進行了最後的拼死進攻。
