Shioya Tomonari

Shioya Tomonari (塩谷朝業) is a warrior of the early Kamakura period, linked to the powerful Utsunomiya house and to the Shioya lineage, which dominated the Shioya region in the north of Shimotsuke Province. He is regarded as the founder of Kawasaki Castle, built between 1199 and 1203 on a long ridge in present-day Yaita city. The castle remained the seat of the Shioya until 1595, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi confiscated the domain of his distant successor, Shioya Yoshitsuna. The site is today a historic site of Yaita city, laid out as a park.
