Seinan Sumi-yagura (Southwest Watchtower) - Important Cultural Property One of the corner watchtowers constructed around 1626. Slightly smaller than the Tonan Sumi-yagura (Southeast watchtower), its charucteristic feature is the elegant curves of the cusped gables (kara hafid on the first storey roof (compare the triangular-shaped dormer table, or chideri hafu, on the Tonan Sumi-yagura). The fint storey window facing the outer moat, like the Hignshi Ote mon (East Gate), is equipped with boulder-droppinz holes The interior is furnished with a plank wooden floor, with a board-and-batten ceiling (saobuchi tene) only in the second story. These ceilings were a sign of rank. Nijo-jo Castle ance featured a total of 9 such watchtowers, located at the four corners of the outer and inner moats and in the center of the north side of the outer moet. Most of these were of 2-stories, exorpe for the 5-storey castle donion located at the southrwest corner of the inner most, and the 3-storey watchtower at the northwest corner of the inner moat. Todny, the Tonan Sumi-yagura and Seinan Sumi-yagura are the only watchtowers that remain.

【重要文化財西南隅櫓】 寛永3年(1626)頃に建設された隅櫓の一つである。東南隅櫓と比べ一回り小さく、1階屋根に優美な曲線の唐破風が載せられているのが特徴である(東南隅櫓では千鳥破風)。 1階の外堀に面する出窓には、東大手門と同様な石落しを備え、攻撃と防の要となっている。 内部は板敷で、2階にだけ棹縁天井が張られている。二条城には、外堀と内堀の四隅、外堀北中央に計9棟の櫓があった。 それらはほとんどが2階建てで、例外として内堀南西隅のものが5階建ての天守閣、内堀北西隅のものが3階建てであった。 現存しているのは西南隅櫓と東南隅櫓の2棟だけである。

這座西南隅櫓建於大約1626年,是角落上的守衛塔樓之一。它比東南隅櫓略小,特色在於一樓屋頂上的唐破風(kara hafu,一種優雅彎曲的山牆),不同於東南隅櫓上的千鳥破風(chidori hafu,三角形的破風)。這座建築面對外堀的一樓設有帶有「落石」功能的窗戶,用於防禦(與東大手門類似)。 內部地板為木板,二樓天花板使用棹縁天井(さおぶちてんじょう / saobuchi tenjo),是一種有等級象徵的天花設計。 過去的二條城擁有9座這類角樓,分布於外堀與內堀的四角,以及外堀北側中央。目前僅剩下東南隅櫓與西南隅櫓兩座仍然保留。

二条城の西南(南西)の隅にある二重二階櫓で西と南に石落としのついた櫓が「西南隅櫓(せいなんすみやぐら)」になります。

二条城の西南隅櫓は東南隅櫓と同様、1602年~1603年(慶長7年~慶長8年)に造られ、1625年~1626年(寛永2年~寛永3年)に改修されました。

東南隅櫓と西南隅櫓には、趣向に違いがある。 東南隅櫓は、南向きに三角形の千鳥破風(ちどりはふ)が付いている西南隅櫓は、西向きに弓なり状の形が特徴の唐破風(からはふ)がある。同じでもいいと思うが担当各々が工夫を凝らしたのだろうか?

二条城には、元々四隅に隅櫓があり守りの要としての役割を担っていました。...
