Sunomata Castle
Encyclopedia : S : SU : SUN : Sunomata Castle
Sunomata Castle (墨俣城) was a Japanese castle near Ogaki in Gifu Prefecture. It was constructed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of the generals of Oda Nobunaga, while they were doing a siege on the Inabayama Castle. Hideyoshi also found a secret path into the castle and they found Saito Tatsuoki. Oda Nobunaga put him in exile as they were victorious in this war. According to legend, Sunomata Castle was built overnight. Today, it is referred to as Sunomata Ichiya Castle. "Ichiya" means "overnight." The castle tower has been reconstructed to serve as a local history museum.
