| Lit. mountain castle. A castle built on a mountain to take advantage of the mountain's topography. One of the three main types of castles as classified according to site topography by Edo military scholarsGthe others are the flatland castle *hirajiro ½ι and flatland mountain castle *hirayamajiro ½Rι. Originally the term referred to a castle built only on the top of a mountain, with nothing built at the foot. Today, the term is applied to any castle built on mountains at least 150m high. The yamajiro may be built on an isolated mountain or on one mountain in a larger range. In the Southern and Northern Court period *Nanbokuchou jidai μk©γ, castles were nearly all of this type, and yamajiro remained the main type until latter half of the 16c. Good examples of mountain castles from the early modern period include Bitchuu Matsuyamajou υΌRι in Okayama prefecture, and Tsuwanojou Γaμι in Shimane prefecture. | ||||||
