Description
Ancient castles are a symbol of Japanese beauty. Essentially, they were built for the sanguinary purpose of war and never intended as an expression of beauty. But to-day, these castles which we can hardly connect with war strike us as great works of art. For whenever we see a castle, we cannot but marvel at its superb form and masculine beauty. This collection of photographs, the seventh in the Japan Times Photo Book series, is designed to present to the reader all fascinating aspects of major Japanese castles.
