[Castle name]
Kosuiji Castle (Koriyama Castle)
After Nambu Nobunao defeated the Shiba family, it was ruled by the Nambu family.
[Description]
Kosuiji Castle used to stand in Shiba Town, Shiba District, Iwate Prefecture. It was also called Koriyama Castle.
In the late Kamakura period, Ashikaga Takauji assigned Shiba Takatsune’s heir Shiba Ienaga to Oshu-Kanrei in the castle.
In the Warring States period, the Shiba family developed it into a tough castle. On the climax of the Shiba family, it was called Shiba Palace.
In the 16th year of the Tensho period (1588), Nambu Nobunao attacked the Shiba family and made it extinct.
After that, he sent Nakano Yasuzane to the castle. He renamed it Koriyama Castle.
Meanwhile, Nambu Nobunao built his main base in Kozukata (Morioka). Then, Koriyama Castle was abandoned.
Now, it is used as Shiba Town Shiroyama Park.
