History
Ichiuji Castle was built by the Ijuin clan and was later controlled by the Shimazu clan. In 1536, Shimazu Takahisa moved the original base of power for the Shimazu clan from Izaku Castle. But Shimazu Takahisa moved to Uchi Castle in 1550.[3][1][2][4] In 1549, Francis Xavier visited the castle to meet Shimazu Takahisa.[3]

gollark: > Someone in charge of the Discord bots here should write or extend a bot to replace a regex match to replace 0/0 or x/0 by UNDEFINED automatically. Something like re.replace([0-9]*/ 0, UNDEFINED , string) (simplified because I am lazy) , so MrMola can no longer type 0 / 0 and it's automatically shown as UNDEFINED :- )<@520480232738652161> Bots and moderators cannot, for extremely obvious reasons, edit other people's messages.
gollark: As opposed to partial ordering, where some pairs of elements can't be ordered.
