The WILD legend of Mist Castle
Yamagata Castle is also known as Kajo or Kasumi-ga-jo, The Castle of Mist. I wanted to find out why, and apparently it has something to do with a mountain on the outskirts of Yamagata City called Tokami-yama.

So interesting! Thanks for the tour, Tim. Love your videos!
This is fascinating. Your videos are first rate. I love the music in this one as well. Thanks for making this!
ah that mountain is easy to spot, lovely
This is so weird, cause I was just watching a lecture called "Guns, Paper, and Swords: Constructing Samurai Identity in Modern Japan" on the BYU Library Lectures channel. From the 22:15 min mark to 35 min mark they talk about the Mogami clan and Yamagata. Then you post this. There's a screen from the area which was thought to be a battle the Mogami clan participated in but it turns out it was actually one of the earliest depictions of the siege of Osaka depicted by the clan. I highly suggest watching the lecture if you have time. The time stamp I included is the portion where the lecturer talks about it, the other parts aren't related and by different lecturers.
AWESOME video, super interesting !
Weird I think youtube removed my comment
