UWAJIMA, JAPAN - JULY 22, 2016: Main keep (Tenshukaku, circa 16th c.) of Uwajima castle, Shikoku Island, Japan. Uwajima is one of only 12 survived castles in Japan Todo Takatora built this castle after being granted the small fiefdom around it by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1595. After the battle of Sekigahara (1600), Todo Takatora moved to Imabari leaving it in the hands of Tomita Nobutaka. From 1615 until the Meiji Restoration Uwajima Castle was ruled by Date Hidemune and his descendents. The basic territory and layout of the castle did not change from the time of Takatora, but the Date completed the fortifications with yagura, gates and stone walls.
