[edit] Notes
- Based on Kenichi Yamamoto's 2004 Novel "Katen no Shiro".
- The movie and novel concerns the construction of the Azuichi Castle, built from 1576-1579 on the shores of Lake Biwa in Omi Province, under the supervision of daimyo Oda Nobunaga.
- Location was chosen due its proximity to the capital of Kyoto - could watch and guard approaches to the capital, but distant enough to be immune to the conflicts and fires that occasionally occured in Kyoto.
- Unlike other castles of its days, Azuichi was not built solely for military purposes, but also as a lavish mansion, which would impress and intimidate rival clans.
