Kanazawa Castle ????, Ishikawa, Japan. ????????
Kanazawa Castle is just across the Ishikawa Bridge from Kanazawa's prime attraction, the Kenrokuen Garden. Both sites are must-sees on a visit to Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture.
Kanazawa Castle was the seat of the power of the local Maeda clan. The Maeda family were the hereditary feudal lords (daimyo) of the Kaga province (what is now the southern part of Ishikawa Prefecture) from 1583. Kanazawa Castle, itself has had a difficult history.
Kanazawa Castle was begun by Maeda Toshiie (1538-1599), the man promoted to the feudal lord of the area by Oda Nobunaga and completed by his son Yoshinaga.
Burnt down on a number of occasions, only the superb Ishikawa Gate and the Sanjikken Nagaya, samurai warehouse survive from the original construction of Kanazawa Castle.
As with Kumamoto Castle in western Kyushu, a 2001 reconstruction program carried out by Sumitomo Corp. has restored the huge Gojikken Nagaya storehouse and arsenal and the Hishi-yagura and Hashizumemon Tsuzuki-yagura watchtowers adjoining the storehouse to their original state.
Gojikken Nagaya means literally the long building of fifty ken, a ken being an ancient measurement equal to about 1.8m, making the building about 90m in length.
Traditional construction methods were employed in the renovation from the original, existing building plans of Kanazawa Castle. Traditional carpenters from Kyoto were brought in to teach the local craftsmen in the old techniques.

Kenroku-en 兼六園, Six Attributes Garden Japan ????????
Kenrokuen Garden is a beautiful Japanese garden with an area of 11.4 hectares located on the heights of the central part of Kanazawa and next to Kanazawa Castle. The Maeda family, who ruled the Kaga Clan (the present Ishikawa and Toyama areas) in feudal times, maintained the garden from generation to generation. From its scale and beauty, it is regarded as one of the most beautiful feudal lords' gardens in Japan.
Kenrokuen Garden has a big artificial pond, and hills and houses are dotted in the garden. Visitors can appreciate the whole, dropping in at them. The big pond called Kasumigaike was compared to an open sea, and an island, on which an ageless hermit with miraculous power was believed to live, was constructed in the pond in hope of the long life and eternal prosperity of the lord. Kenrokuen, which means having six factors, was given the name because of the six attributes that bring out the perfect landscape of the garden: spaciousness, tranquility, artifice, antiquity, water sources, and magnificent view from the garden. ????????
Kanazawa’s Teramachi: Two Distinctive Temple Districts in One | Nippon.com: Japan in Video
The Teramachi area of Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, is one of the city’s three major clusters of temples dating back to the Edo period (1600–1868), when Kanazawa was the seat of the powerful Maeda clan, rulers of the Kaga domain. In 2012 Teramachi—literally “temple town”—was designated as an “important preservation district for groups of traditional buildings.” The designated district actually consists of two areas. The first is Noda Teramachi. This is one of the three districts into which Maeda Toshitsune (1594–1658), third lord of the domain, had all the city’s temples concentrated for administrative purposes. It lies along the old Noda Kaidō (Noda Highway), and to this day the thoroughfare passes by a series of Edo-period temples with impressive gates and walls. The second area is Izumi Teramachi, which developed as a temple district more gradually than Noda Teramachi and has a different aspect, featuring a mixture of temples and townhouses (“machiya”).
A townhouse built in 1892, formerly consisting of family quarters above a street-level shop, has been converted into a guest house accommodating just one party a night. Here visitors can experience the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese residence. Another townhouse, which was built 150 years ago, has been converted into a gallery. As these examples show, contemporary owners are finding new ways of using the area’s buildings while preserving the streetscape.

Oyama Shrine, Kanazawa City
Oyama Shrine is located in Kanazawa City (in the Ishikawa Prefecture), near the Kanazawa Castle area. This Shrine was built as a dedication to Lord Toshiie Maeda, founder of the Kaga clan and his wife Omatsu. Kaga clan or the Maeda family was ruling clan for Kanazawa city and was responsible for developing it. Oyama Shrine was built in 1873 near the Kanazawa Castle area and also in the same area where the Maeda Family villa existed one time. The old garden from the Maeda family villa still exists in the Shrine precincts, reflecting it's Edo period architecture.
The front entrance to the shrine has a stained glass and shows a mixture of Japanese, Chinese and European styles. It also reflects the cooperation of the culture and commerce between Japan and other countries during the Kaga clan rule. Enjoy!!!

___________
Now that he holds Kyoto, Oda Nobunaga finds himself the focus of enemies on all sides. Even the Shogun, who no longer needs his military assistance, turns against him. Oda marches north to quell the Asakura clan, only to be betrayed by the Azai clan leader, his own brother-in-law, who allies with his enemy and embroils Oda and his remaining true ally, Tokugawa Ieyasu, in the Battle of Anegawa. No sooner has he won a narrow victory than Oda launches into in an eleven year siege with the Ikko-ikki warrior monks at their mountain temple of Hongan-ji. Unable at first to turn that siege in his favor, he learns from it when facing a second group of Enryaku-ji warrior monks at Mount Hiei. Oda shows his true brutality by setting fire to the temple and ordering his troops to massacre all 20,000 inhabitants - men, women, and children.

5 of World’s Most Beautiful Gardens
#5. Kenroku-en Garden, Ishikawa, Japan
One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, the Kenroku-en (“garden combining six”) Garden is a haven of peace and tranquility in Ishikawa. With an area of 11.4 hectares located on the heights of the central part of Kanazawa and next to Kanazawa Castle. The Maeda family, who ruled the Kaga Clan in feudal times, maintained the garden from generation to generation. From its scale and beauty, it is regarded as one of the feudal lords’ most beautiful gardens in Japan. The garden is particularly stunning during cherry blossom season in the spring, and admission is free for two weeks at this time.
#4. Gardens at the Versailles Palace, France
The historic gardens at the Versailles palace are some of the most impressive in all of Europe. These beautiful gardens cover some 800 hectares of land, much of which is landscaped in the classic French Garden style perfected here by Linnea. The grounds of Louis XIV’s luxurious palace were a point of pride for the Sun King, who thought the gardens to be as important as the palace itself. Visitors can spend days in the gardens alone, enjoying the flowers, fountains, winding paths and scenic vistas. The gardens are now one of the most visited public sites in France, receiving more than six million visitors a year.
#3. Majorelle Garden, Marrakech, Morocco
The Majorelle Garden is a twelve-acre botanical garden and artist’s landscape garden in Marrakech, Morocco. Its stunning cobalt blue accents make it easy to distinguish from any other botanical garden. Owner Yves Saint Laurent, the legendary fashion designer, even named a shade of nail polish from his luxury cosmetics line after it. Created in the 1920s by painter Jacques Majorelle, the garden has been named one of The Telegraph’s 50 Most Beautiful Gardens in the World, and is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in Morocco.
#2. Claude Monet’s Garden at Giverny, France
One of the world’s most beautiful gardens, Monet’s Garden in France. The garden was property of Oscar-Claude Monet, a founder of French Impressionist painting. Monet’s gardens are like his paintings — brightly colored patches that are messy but balanced. Flowers were his brushstrokes, a bit untamed and slapdash, but part of a carefully composed design. The painter lived at his house in the French countryside for 43 years, carefully cultivating his flower gardens and water garden. The grounds and house are open to visitors April through October.
#1. Kirstenbosch, Cape Town, South Africa
Kirstenbosch is South Africa’s world-famous national botanical garden, set against the backdrop of Table Mountain and Devil’s Peak, and home to more than 22 000 indigenous plants. We include this garden at the first place in our list of most beautiful gardens because of its beautiful and awsomagic environment. When the garden was founded in 1913 to preserve the country’s unique flora, it was the first botanical garden in the world with this ethos.

AMAZING Kanazawa Vibrant colors of ancient tradition Best Documentary HD
The name Kanazawa (金沢, 金澤), which literally means marsh of gold, is said to derive from the legend of the peasant Imohori Togoro (lit. Togoro Potato-digger), who was digging for potatoes when flakes of gold washed up. The well in the grounds of Kenrokuen known as 'Kinjo Reitaku' (金城麗澤) was recreated by the Maeda lords to acknowledge these roots. The area where Kanazawa is was originally known as Ishiura, and the Ishiura Shrine near Kenrokuen is a remnant of this period.
The centre of the castle town was the castle. While many castle towns in Japan had the castle placed to one side of the city, Kanazawa spread out concentrically from the castle site. Kanazawa Castle itself largely burned down in 1888, but there are a few buildings remaining, notably the Ishikawa Gate and the Sanjikken Longhouse, and one large section has been painstakingly rebuilt to authentic standards of construction. The castle site dates back to the fifteenth century, when it was the centre of power for the Ikkō-ikki, which was a Buddhist sect that had overthrown the old regional governors, the Togashi clan, and established what is called The Peasants' Kingdom in the Kaga Province, the southern part of present-day Ishikawa Prefecture.
During the fifteenth century, the powers of the central Shoguns in Kyoto was waning, and their regional governors were assuming even greater powers, carving out their own little fiefs. In Kaga, the priest Rennyo, of the Jodo Shinshu sect, arrived in the Kaga region to proselytise. Rennyo's brand of Buddhism quickly spread among the samurai and peasants. The followers of Rennyo were only loosely under the control of the central Honganji in Kyoto, and were known as the Ikko sect, the Single-Minded sect. At the time, due to the diminishing power of the hereditary regional governors, the Togashi, central control over the region was weak, which allowed groups of Rennyo converts to increase their political ambitions, leading to the suicide of the last Togashi governor in 1488.
Kanazawa Gobo and the Peasant's Kingdom
For the next hundred years, Kaga was ruled by the Ikko peasants, who created a kind of republic known by history as The Peasant's Kingdom. Their principle stronghold was the Basilica of Kanazawa Gobo, on the tip of the Kodatsuno Ridge. Backed by high hills and flanked on two sides by rivers, it was a natural fortress, and the eventual home of the Maeda lords. Around the basilica, in what is now the second and third baileys, the first proper town grew, with priestly residences and other religious buildings as its core, and around them came the merchant areas. Many of these districts have survived to the present day, in name if nothing else. This type of town, peculiar to the Warring States Period, was a fortified temple town, and in its basic structure bears a great deal of resemblance to mediaeval European towns, with the temple or church in the centre and the entire town enclosed in some form of fortification, usually a high wall surrounded by a moat, often dry.
End of the Peasants Kingdom
In the year 1580, a general under Oda Nobunaga named Sakuma Morimasa attacked the Peasants Kingdom, and succeeded in overthrowing Kanazawa Gobo. Granted an income of 50,000 koku from Nobunaga, Sakuma proceeded to recreate the town as a military base. However his reign was short-lived: in 1583 Toyotomi Hideyoshi, with Lord Maeda Toshiie as his advance guard, invaded, and Toshiie was granted the fief of Kaga in addition to the Noto peninsula which he already possess
Takeda Campaign (Legendary) - Part 55: Fending Off The Takaoka
We fight a battle to repel the Takaoka in the north, near Kaga.
Then, at the very opposite side of the width of japan, we fight them at the Izu peninsula to halt their advance through the south.
A full legendary domination campaign as the Takeda played on max graphics settings and huge unit sizes. Let's see if we can get some 3000 man routs using takeda cavalry and kisho ninja, and also if we can finish this in time for Rome 2. I am also doing an Aizu campaign, pretty much in parallel with this one, for anyone that is interested.
