Pine Tree

These injections protect the tree from pine wilt, at Odawara Castle.

"Odawara Castle" faced three major attacks by "UESUGI Kenshin" in 1561, "TAKEDA Shingen" in 1569 and "TOYOTOMI Hideyoshi" in 1590. The last siege by Hideoyoshi was the end of the Hojo clan's supremacy and the castle was turned over to "TOKUGAWA Ieyasu". In the final siege by Hideyoshi, he brought all his generals from around the country with about 200,000 troops to bear on Odawara Castle.
