	masri's site - Tokyo story
		In the 15th century, these small family homesteads were eclipsed when local chieftain Ota Dokan began constructing the first Edo Castle in 1456.
		Dokan appears to have been more interested in subjugating his rival clansmen than creating a sophisticated court—which may explain why he was assassinated in 1486—preferring to go out hunting with a bow and arrow in the area that is now Takadanobaba.
		Gradually, as rival clans and feudal lords vied for territory, the slightly run-down Edo Castle came to lie at a point of strategic importance between the lands of two of the competitors for shogunal representative, and this is how Ieyasu Tokugawa laid claim to Edo.
