History

Kaneda Castle was built by Yamato court. Following the defeat of Yamato Japan in the 663 battle of Hakusukinoe by an alliance of Tang China and the Silla, Emperor Tenji ordered the construction of defenses against a possible invasion of them.[2][3]

The castle was listed as one of the Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles in 2017.[4]

gollark: Yes, I guess.
gollark: Basically.
gollark: It waits for the right timer event, and will just wait infinitely if it's already happened.
gollark: Because otherwise sleep will wait forever.
gollark: I'm working on trying to have my process manager support suspending. It *kind of* works, but any "timer" events are eaten up and not fed to the process while it's suspended, so "sleep" just waits forever. How should I solve this? An event queue (could get gigantic fast, so probably not)? Special-casing for "unique" events like timers?
