Continuing from last week, here is another ruins of castle today. Have you heard of the ruins of Hario castle which is near former Hario Radio Transmission Tower? It used to be a residence castle of Hario clan who occupied mainly the southern part of Hario island. It was also introduced in the book of “Nihon-shi” (History of Japan) which was written by Luis Frois, Portuguese Missionary, in 16th century. The castle site is 80m in the east-west direction, 60m in the north-south direction.
On the other hand, many relics of 12th to 16th century were discovered through the excavation for research in 2004. Among them, there were many imported or domestic China and porcelains. Especially, a hexagon legged bottle of Keitokuchin-kiln in China was the third excavated case in the world and extremely precious. They are considered to have been brought by a trade with Portugal. Why don’t we visit there via Hario radio transmission tower?

今回も、先週に引き続き城跡の紹介です。針尾無線塔の近くにある針尾城の跡をご存知ですか。これは、針尾島南部を中心に領有した針尾氏の居城で、ポルトガル人宣教師のルイス・フロイスの「日本史」にその存在が記述されています。東西80ｍ、南北60ｍ程度の広さです。
一方、平成16年の発掘調査により、12～16世紀の遺物が出土しました。その中には、海外から輸入した陶磁器や国内産の陶磁器もあり、中でも中国・景徳鎮窯の六角脚付瓶は世界で3例目という貴重なものでした。ポルトガル貿易によるものと考えられています。ぜひ一度、針尾送信所と併せて訪ねてみてはいかがでしょうか？
