−Fushimi castle is the name of two castles built by [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] in Fushimi, in southeastern Kyoto.
−Hideyoshi began construction on the first Fushimi castle in [[1592]], to serve as his retirement palace, but expanded it in [[1594]] in order to formally receive envoys from [[Ming Dynasty]] China. For that purpose, it is said that he mobilized 250,000 men, and dismantled the nearby [[Yodo castle]], to use its stone in the construction of Fushimi castle's walls.
+
+In [[1596]], he received a vice-envoy from Ming, but just before the chief envoy arrived, there was a great earthquake, and the castle was destroyed.
