Marugame castle - 23

Marugame castle - 23

I moved a little from the location of the previous article and took a photo another one. I see a "石落とし = Ishi otoshi".
There is a part protruding a little on the wall on the right side of the first floor part of "天守 = Ten syu". That is "石落とし = Ishi otoshi".
There was "二の丸御門 = Ni no maru Go mon" under "天守 = Ten syu", and there enter "二の丸 = Ni no maru" from "三の丸 = San no Maru".
When the enemy comes to this point, the lord prepares for "切腹 = seppuku or 腹切 = harakiri or disembowelment" ...
Japanese samurai thought disgrace that they yield to the enemy.
Therefore, if they know that it will be a losing battle, the "殿様 = Tono sama" and his samurais also disembowelment themselves.
Fortunately, Marugame castle is not caught up in the battle, so no one is dead besides the two who are sacrifice　when at the time of construction of Marugame Castle.
