The Black Castle - Matsue

Posted by Hoshisato (Ealing, United Kingdom) on 6 October 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

The Black Castle, or Plover Castle as it is also known, in Matsue is one of the few remaining original wooden medieval castles in Japan, and not a modern reconstruction in concrete as you find in many places like Nagoya and Gifu.
