Minowa Castle (箕輪城), was a hirayama-style castle situated in the city of Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, Japan. Its ruins have been protected as a National Historical Site as of 1987.[1]
History
In 1566, Takeda Shingen led his soldiers to Siege of Minowa Castle against rival daimyō Uesugi Kenshin's forces at the castle. Kamiizumi Nobutsuna led the defense but after losing the castle to the Takeda clan, he reversed loyalty to the clan. After switching allegiances, his student Nagano Saemon grew to hate his former master and vowed vengeance against the Takeda's.[2]
In 1573, while training with Takeda's men, Nobutsuna soon took on another student Asari Nobutane at the castle. Nobutane soon became one of the Akazonae generals under Shingen. However, Nobutsuna soon left the castle and the Takeda clan after accepting an offer to aid Oda Nobunaga by teaching his men.[2]
