eMIIl!df1Toshiic, 101`I 01` the wealthy Maeda family that ruled Kaga in feudal times, was the fourth son of Mae-
du Toshimasa 01` the powerful provincial family of Owari Arako (present-day Nagoya). In obedience to Oda No-
bunaga, he built the foundations for a dairnyo. His childhood name was Inuchiyo, and his adult name was previ-
ously Matazaemon. Because of his martial skill, he was known by the nickname "Yari-no-Mataza" (Mataza the
spearman). eToshiie started building a relationship with Toyotomi Hideyoshi from the time he was a child. In
the period of Nobunaga`s rule, Toshiie became Lord of the castles of the Omi-Nagahama, Echizen-Fuchu and
Noto-Nanao regions. After the battle between Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuie he formed an ~lliance with Hide-
yoshi, and in 1583 he made his triumphal entry into Kanazawa Castle. eAfter the fue of 16131, activities in the
main enclosure of Kanazawa Castle were gradually transferred to Ni-no-rnaru, the secondáry enclosure. It is
thought that the Hishi YaguraTurret, Gojikken Nagaya warehouse and Hashizume-mon Tsufuki Yagura Turrets
were constructed at around this time. Around the end of the 17th century Ni-no-maru was uch a magnificent
structure that it was referred to as "the palace of one thousand tatarni mats." After the fue 6f 1759 the castle`s
center of activities moved completely fi:omthe Hon-maru to Ni-no-maru. Ni-no-maru was razed by great fues
in 1759 and 1808, and rebuilt each time, remaining standing until the Meiji periodo
Purpose of Restoration of Hishi Yagura
and Other Structures
eThe Hishi Yagura, Gojikken Nagaya and Hashizumemon Tsuzuki Yagura fortifications were restored to the
form they were in when reconstructed in 1809. They have been faithfully rebuilt accordíng to extant records
using the original traditional construction methods. Their structure consists of a frame,ork of pillars and
beams jointed with resistant mud walls fortified with braces. This is the largest wooden castle in Japan built
since after the Meiji period, and the buildings are expected to last 200-250 years. Modern construction meth-
ods have been incorporated in the reinforced concrete foundations laid, the sprinkler system installed, and fa-
cilities such as elevators and Liftswhich permit access for the physically disabled.
