One of the disappointments I had when I visited Hirado was that there was not so much information about Yamaga Soko and his contribution to the building of Hirado Castle. The only place I found was the residence of his descendants who still live there. It is original location of the famous Sekitokudo 積徳堂. Yamaga is important to my study because he met Yinyuan in Edo in the winter 1658 and had an encounter dialogue with him. I devoted an entire section on him in Chapter Six (pp.183-191).
