The original Hiroshima Castle was built in 1589 by warlord Mori Terumoto. Major area plan of the castle was completed by Fukushima Clan around 1600. The castle was
occupied by Asano Clan for 250 years in Edo period. In modern Japan, the castle site was used as Army’s regional headquarters, and the caste became a target for Atomic bombing. In post war era, Hiroshima Castle plays a symbol of reconstruction of homeland.
