[Explanation]
Komatsu Castle is a castle located in Marunouchi Town, Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
It is said that it was built by “Wakabayashi Nagato Nokami” of Kaga Ikki Ikkon (Honganji) in Tenshou 4th year 1576.
In the same year, Oda Nobunaga’s vassalist Shibata Katsuya was ordered to reunify Kaga nation with the power of Toshiie Maeda, Narimasa Sasa, Mitsuharu Yoriki, and magnificently succeeded. When Oda Nobunaga is doubted at Honnouji Incident,Heaven becomes Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Echizen and Kaga’s country is also becomes Hideyoshi’s.
Murakami and Niwa were the castle owners in Komatsu Castle. When the battle of Sekigahara broke out during Keicho 5 (1600), Niwa was transferred to Touhoku, and when entering the Edo period, it was incorporated into the Kaga clan territory. In the first year of Ganwa (1615) it will become an abandoned castle once it is an only castle in feudal domain.
However, in 16th year of Kanei (1639), rebuilding began under the permission of the shogunate with the name of a retirement castle of the 2nd lord lord “Maeda Toshitsune”, and a massive renovation took place. After Toshitsune’s death the castle became the castle of the Kanazawa clan and a castle number was always placed, and it reached the end of the Edo period through the Bakumatsu period.
In addition, Komatsu castle was also set up as a castle and seems to have been a fairly large castle. At present, its remains and preserved condition are not good, but the castle table, stone walls, Inner moat etc. are left.
