白石城とは

It was the southern strategic point of the Sendai clan, the biggest domain in the whole Tohoku area from the 17th century to the late 19th century. After the Battle of Sekigahara, it was the residence of the Katakura clan, a chief vassal of the Date family, for 260 years until the Meiji Restoration. The castle was dismantled in 1874, but in 1995, the castle was rebuilt in memory of the great deeds of Katakura Kojuro Kagetsuna, who was famous as the guardian of Date Masamune.
