Hineno Takayoshi

Lord of Takashima (Shinano Province) · First daimyō of the Suwa domain

Hineno Takayoshi (1539-1600) was a samurai of the Sengoku period whose renown rests above all on a single work: Takashima Castle, the ‘Floating Castle of Suwa’. Successively in the service of Saitō Dōsan, Oda Nobunaga and then Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he took part in the great building projects at Azuchi and Ōsaka, which made him an experienced castle builder. Rewarded in 1590 with the domain of Takashima in Shinano Province after the assault on Yamanaka Castle during the siege of Odawara, he had a fortress built from 1592 to 1598 on a peninsula in Lake Suwa, which his son completed. Having sided with Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1600, he died the same year.

Histoire & patrimoine

A castle builder trained on great projects

Before receiving his own domain, Takayoshi had taken part in the construction of Azuchi Castle and Ōsaka Castle. This experience is visible at Takashima: rather than a hilltop site, he chose a peninsula in Lake Suwa and made water the main defence, hence the nickname ‘floating castle’. The works lasted seven years, from 1592 to 1598.

Hineno Takayoshi dans l’histoire

A short-lived domain

The Hineno family’s presence in Suwa was brief: Takayoshi died in 1600 and, as early as 1601, his heirs were transferred, while Tokugawa Ieyasu returned the region to the Suwa clan, which would occupy the castle until 1871.
