大隅の城壁

The Castle Walls of Ushimi

The castle walls of Nakijin are solidly constructed with grey limestone rocks from an early period. These layers of castle walls that separate different wards take advantage of the slope of the castle grounds and function as parapets or fortification from incoming attack. On the outer side of the walls are protrusions that are placed at regular intervals, which allowed the castle guards to attck from the side or from an angle, any enemies attempting to storm the castle. Further, in the Omoro-Soshi, the compendium of ancient Ryukyu songs and rituals, the winding castle walls with curves like that of folding screens, are referred as "momomagari, tsumi, agete." This phrase describes tha curved tiers and winding lengths of the stones of the Nakijin Castle walls. This photograph of the Ushimi wall was the taken at around the beginning of the Showa era, in the late 1920s. Most of the Nakijin Castle walls are from the original construction, as Nakijin Castle was spared from the bombardment of the Battle of Okinawa during World War II.
