Shōryū-ji Castle (勝龍寺城) is a castle in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. During the Sengoku period, it was situated in Shoryuji in the Yamashiro province.
History
In 1568, Oda Nobunaga, along with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, conquered Kyoto from the Miyoshi clan, starting with Shōryū-ji Castle. After its conquest, Nobunaga entrusted the castle to Hosokawa Fujitaka, who rebuilt its defenses in 1571. In 1578, the castle served as the honeymoon residence between Fujitaka's son Hosokawa Tadaoki and Akechi Tama, daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide. In 1581, the Hosokawa's moved from the castle to Miyazu Castle in Miyazu.[1]
On 21 June 1582, the Igan kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe met with Mitsuhide and his son-in-law Ise Sadaoki at the village outside the castle for their planned ambush on Nobunaga at Honnō-ji. Unknown to Naoe, both Mitsuhide and Sadaoki were part of a secret organization called the Shinbakufu and tricked Naoe into believing Nobunaga was its leader.[2] Following the death of Nobunaga, Mitsuhide quickly conquered the castle and used it for his base of operations for his claim to lead Japan.[1]
However, Mitsuhide remained the only active member of the Shinbakufu due to the interference of the Kakushiba ikki members Naoe and Yasuke.[3] Within a short amount of time, Hashiba Hideyoshi planned to attack Mitsuhide at his castle.[4] Joining Hideyoshi in his siege of the castle, Naoe and Yasuke fought through the Akechi soldiers and made their way to confront Mitsuhide. Yet, Mitsuhide ran from the castle, leaving his men to fend off Naoe and Yasuke, but the pair managed to defeat the warriors and chased after Mitsuhide.[3]
At some point, Naoe and Yasuke returned to the castle, eliminated three of its samurai daisho, looted the Yurei-Walker Robes from its treasure chest, climbed atop the tenshu to survey the land,[5] and collected one of Kanō Eitoku's paintings to return to him in Kyoto.[6] After Hideyoshi won the battle, he claimed the castle. After some time, the castle was mainly abandoned except for some time in the 17th century.[1]
