Tomb of Yamanaka Shikanosuke

"This is the tomb of Yamanaka (Yukimori) Shikanosuke, a military commander who devoted his life to the Amago clan in a world where it was common for inferiors to overthrow their superiors for personal gain. The tomb of the steadfast general is located on the grounds of the Koseiji Temple, whose name is derived from an alternate reading of ""Yukimori,"" Shikanosuke's other name. Shikanosuke fought numerous battles across the Chugoku region to restore the power of the Amago clan after they were defeated by the powerful Chugoku-based Mori clan; he was also the father-in-law of Kamei Korenori, lord of Shikano Castle. Korenori built the temple to comfort the soul of Shikanosuke. A 40-meter-tall ginkgo tree planted around the same time the tomb was built also stands on the grounds."
