九鬼嘉隆と豊臣秀吉


1582年に織田信長が亡くなると、九鬼嘉隆は信長の後継者である豊臣秀吉(1537–1598)に忠誠を誓いました。嘉隆は秀吉の下で水軍司令官として仕え、1592年の朝鮮出兵のための新造船の建造を依頼されました。完成した立派な戦艦は、豊臣によって日本丸と名付けられ、豊臣艦隊の旗艦として使われました。

嘉隆が秀吉の支援を受けて築いた鳥羽城は1594年に落成しました。嘉隆はやがて隠居し、息子の九鬼守隆(1573–1632)に家督を譲りました。


Kuki Yoshitaka and Toyotomi Hideyoshi


After the death of Oda Nobunaga in 1582, Kuki Yoshitaka pledged his fealty and services to Nobunaga’s successor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537–1598). He continued to serve as a naval commander under Hideyoshi, who asked him to build a new ship for his Korean campaign of 1592. The result was a magnificent battleship, which Hideyoshi christened Nippon Maru and used as the flagship of his fleet.

With the support of his lord, Yoshitaka was able to build Toba Castle, which was completed in 1594. Yoshitaka eventually retired and transferred power to his son, Kuki Moritaka (1573–1632).
