Hi Taki!
Many thanks for your speedy reply, I really appreciate it. Can you recommend an online (or book) source where I could find this information, as I have many gaps for most of the other fortresses.
Can anyone please fill in the gap for the Yura fortress between Genroku Seki and Seiichi Takeda?
Best regards,
VJK
