Description
English: Painting of Azuchi Castle in Gamō District, Ōmi Province (Ōmi-no-kuni Gamō-gun Azuchi-jō no zu)

colours on silk

87.8 × 121.9 cm

Osaka Castle Museum, Osaka, Japan.

The text on the upper right reads:

This castle was constructed in the first month of Tenshō 4 [1576] by the Minister of the Right Oda [Nobunaga]. Niwa Nagahide was made to oversee [its construction]. Initially [the mountain] was called Tsukigayama, [but it was] later changed and named Azuchi. The height of the mountain castle was over 2 chō [1.90 ha] 205 and over 1 ri [3.927 km] around. On the peak, there was a seven-level main keep. The base of the main keep was north to south, 20 ken [39.3 m] and east to west, 17 ken [33.4 m]. The sixth level therein had eight sides with windows. The Minister of the Right formerly began to believe in a foreign faith [i.e. Christianity]. Constructing a tall keep tower in his castle, he called it the tenshu kaku [keep]. This was the beginning of the building of tenshu kaku. The original [work from which this painting is based] was owned by an officer of the lesser magistrate [named] Kondō of Ishidera Village in the Gamō District. In the year of the Wood Rabbit in the Ansei era [1855], my late father [Iwasaki] Ōu obtained [this original], copied it, and stored [his copy] in his home. Recently, I heard that Kumagai Naoyuki opened a study into history. Relishing in old Japanese writings, he assembled from far and wide such [texts] and in turn, to possess them he brandished his illustrious brush and produced clean copies of these old Japanese writings; many were those who said to bestow [this painting] onto him.
