I hope my thesis will provide a key to the progress in the study of "Shiro-wari" system. To begin with, I've taken the case of Hizen Nagoya Castle and given an example of removal of stone walls in terms of the superficial observation. I've considered how castles were influenced under "Shiro-wari" system through the analysis of the case of Hizen Nagoya Castle. From my study so far I've come to the conclusion as follows: 1) Judging from the present appearance of the stone walls of Hizen Nagoya Castle, they seemed to be fallen down artificially, which I've proved by giving a convincing example in this thesis. 2)"Shiro-wari" was a ritually-colored system to have castles suspend their functions temporally, but never to make them lose their functions completely.
