Black Corporation: Joseon

Himeji Castle, about 100 ri west of Hyogo Port.

This castle housed the main camp of Ouchi’s forces, who had risen against the Shogunate.

The history of Himeji Castle was truly tumultuous.

Built by Akamatsu Sadanori during the Northern and Southern Courts period, it was initially a small castle.

However, when Akamatsu Mitsusuke assassinated Shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori, the resulting conflict transferred the castle’s ownership to the Yamana clan.

And now, the Yamana clan who had been defending the castle had abandoned it and fled to the Shogunate’s camp, allowing Ouchi to occupy it.
