Interrupted field castle Jinya, Japanese fortress in Tarui, Japan
The rectangular fortress incorporates stone walls and moats on its eastern side, following the architectural principles of Edo period military structures.
During the 16th century, the Takenaka clan constructed this fortification after they were prohibited from building complete castles by the Edo Shogunate.
The fortress exemplifies the strict social hierarchy of feudal Japan, where smaller lords created modified residences that balanced defense and administrative functions.
The entrance gate of the fortress remains accessible and currently serves as an entrance point to a local educational institution.
The fortress contained only partial defensive elements, reflecting a specific category of Japanese military architecture designed for regional administrators.
