At Nagoya Castle for the 6th time this month, this time filming for a world wide release TV program.
Nagoya Castle is Japan's biggest castle. It's earthquake proof sloping walls, it's multi storied tower and rooftop golden dolphin like creature ornaments are famous! The castle celebrates it's 400th anniversary this year.
One of the dry inner moat's residents, a rather sleepy looking animal. He seems to have his eyes closed, which makes him what?... a no eye-deer? He's sitting down,... what does that make him? Still no eye deer!
One of Nagoya Castles amazing points are the stone walls. All fit so cleanly together, and all were hewn by hand and moved into place without the use of cranes...
Sitting atop a replica of the
Shachihoko, 2m tall golden mythical marine animal ornaments that adorn the roof of Nagoya Castle... these creatures were supposed to have protected the castle from fire, by spouting water in times of fire. I guess the ancients didn't count on that fire coming from a wartime B-29 bomber!
