CASTLES OF JAPAN: FROM SIMPLE FORTIFICATION STRUCTURES TO
MAGNIFICENT SYMBOLS OF POWER
Castles of Japan is a site that looks at Japanese castles from a historical point of view. It is aimed at those who have little or no knowledge of Japanese castles, but an interest in Japanese architecture, warfare and/or culture. The pages present information about the development of Japanese castles as well as a collection of castle images, and links to relevant sites.
Clicking on the small man bowing at the bottom of each page will always lead you back to this page.
