Amino Yashiki

History

Amino-yashiki was a medieval fortified residence of the Amino Clan. The Amino Clan were warrior vassals of the Takeda Clan. After the death of Takeda Katsuyori, the Amino Clan joined the Kōshū Rōnin.

Visit Notes

Amino-yashiki has dorui (earthen rampart) remains, which are now stone-lined retaining walls for an old farmhouse. It took me a while to actually find this supposed dorui. During that search I came across ‘Persimmon Gallery’, a small, local art gallery. I like persimmons – and had seen many appetising specimens that day – so I went in. Many drying persimmons were hanging around the veranda. Dried persimmons are a local specialty (see Kanzō-yashiki). The gallery owner, who provided tea and snacks, says that dried persimmon was an ideal ration food for samurai.
