The Castle of Axe was a fortress of the Crab Clan near the Shadowlands border.

Set Ablaze
In 1126 the castle's Lord, Hida Saburo, and many of his followers, were murdered by Zenkai no Oni, which set ablaze the castle. The demon was killed by Hiruma Eikihiro, but few Crab had survived. One of the lost scrolls of Kuni Mokuna was found there, and the Oracle of Earth Hiruma Osuno appeared shortly after.
