Historical record
Story
In his father Shigenobu (Tensho)'s time, the cramped grounds of the Oyakata residence were making government difficult. According to Hirado Castle, Takashi's appointment as a commissioner of temples and shrines under the shogun Tsunayoshi set the rebuilding in motion. The project consumed more than 1,080 kan of silver and over 543,000 days of labor, and was finished in 1718.
