`The Development and History of Japanese Castles', section of the project gives an account of the history of fortification in Japan, concentrating on the development of castle fortification. She effectively spreads relevant images throughout the essay which support the text.
Leading into the section 'Castle Building Techniques and Designs', is a brief introduction outlining the differences and similarities of European and Japanese castles. It is an important feature as it puts the Japanese castle into a world wide historical context. This is followed by a table leading to the main defensive and decorative features of the castle. A table is used as the navigational instrument of this section, which is visually effective and appropriate for the audience it is aimed at.
The castle focussed on in this project is Azuchi-jo. It was chosen due to its great historical significance to Japanese architecture and castle building.Williams has also included an image section where one can view images of the more popular castles of Japan, Himeji Castle, Osaka Castle, Matsumoto Castle and Inuyama Castle. The images are in GIF form and when clicked on can be seen in larger JPEG format.
Links to other informative sites that are related in topic to Japanese castles are also available from the site, showing Williams' awareness of other sites on the web.
Included in the project is a glossary of castle terms which has been imported from Ted Monks site, "Castles on the Web". This is useful to students studying castles from anywhere around the world, and a justifiable inclusion.
