Kochi Castle, Jepang

Not complete it to a region in Japan without seeing the castle, temple or shirein in the area. Historic buildings is amazing because it feels very well. Typical castle architecture in Japan is almost always the same in a certain era, from the outside of the canal where there is a corral, a strong stone walls, wooden doors which is very thick, encircle the garden of the palace complex and the main building itself.

This time I invite KoKiers to walk the road together to see Kochi Castle where the main building itself is relatively castle castle that I visited, but as a maxim That Indah Small, Small, That Love.

Kochi Castle is located in the middle of the capital of Kochi prefecture (province), is the symbol and spirit cultural heritage Kochi. The building is a masterpiece that Yamauchi Katsutoyo finish in 10 years, with thousands of workers. Ironically destroyed by the Meiji reformers want to eliminate all feudality symbol at the beginning of the Meiji era of reform in 1868 years. So for 400 years Kochi Castle is not a standing army was damaged by enemy but by the civil society. Duh remember so anarchic in the country when our case occurred in 1998.
Before entering the main gate which is called Otemon, there is a small channel of about approximately 10 meters corral, where a small turtle turtle and goldfish swim free of calves, water green, there is a water squirt aerator circulation so that the fish get enough oxygen fish. Gates made of wood and the thick solid steel plates with decoration, stone boulder is neat, strong and solid without cement, is used to hold the enemy attacks.

Unlike the other castle, there are at least 2 units in the complex bronze statue of this castle. The first in front of Otemon, sculpture Itagaki Taisuke, a civilian leader who seeks changes Jp, killed with a knife, a sentence spoken, and well up to now is: "Itagaki may die but liberty never will!". Sculptures in the garden there is a second level after the two children of a relatively high statue is the wife of Yamauchi Katsutoyo. I guess the second statue is made after the Meiji reforms around the year 1871 when the castle was opened to the public.
Renovations are made of stone walls, in the garden level of this second, more more mengingatkanku do the same thing is done on the historic home, or less with the other budget budget?

The main building castle Donjon (Ten-Shu-rigid) as a whole, consisting of 4 levels, with high bagunan 18.5 meters. Structure of the building has been renovated according to the original in the year 1748. At the top of the castle there are 4 doors to the verandah overlooking the four corners of the city, breezy air there.

Garden on the third level in harmony paving gravel, stone, wood and various pine, on the sidelines and sakura tree saddle tree that changes color when the USIM autumn arrives, it is considered that the beauty of the show season to season.

Wooden terrace in front of the Daimyo's official meeting, tatami unfold as a carpet, a full open space facing fenced garden with a wall tile decoration similar encircle the building.

Official meeting room, where the daimyo to sit on the floor level is slightly higher, on the back wall titivate Ornament summer there are hidden room, where the samurai guards sat listening to the conversation with the guests daimyo, they were dangerous to jump to save the master's of business.

Japanese style garden in front of the official meeting, the quiet beautiful. A wall decoration in the Main entrance hall of the fabric, described the loyalty of a wife to bring soldiers samurai battlefield, the war clothes worn in the film The Last Samurai.

Beyond Main Hall, to enter the building through the building Castle Donjon the wood floor. On the first floor didispaly miniature diorama of a society in the days of old Japan, is quite representative and beautiful somehow scale the size. Here I show the process of transportation hugh stone to build the castle. We can imagine when Borobudur and Prambanan temple was established in the year 825, about 500 years before the castle was founded. Our forefathers far more brilliant than the Jp, because stone stone penyusunnya much larger and needs to be appointed with a very high ELEVATION. Rightly Borobudur and Prambanan a world heritage asset.
The process of wood processing as one of the main building, a large timber, strong and strong resistance by the time somehow to how long.

Tile decoration at the end of the rooftop is always beautiful and specific, different from castle to castle, blend between the fish and dragon, symbol of the castle, either what it means, perhaps there is a kokiers.

From one of the doors in the top of the castle, spread-rise buildings, modern buildings encircle a vast castle complex, quite in contrast.

Ladder in the garden level of the first and second level, is not without meaning as it is created, a high, easy to go down, but prevent the movement to reach the enemy daimyo residence.

Back down the stair, wide spread Garden page at first, than Otemon, right there in the garden under a broad high leafy tree, there are wooden benches benches where tired or just remove the pile. Esplanade that is easily accessible to the canal in the middle of the city, a place where children play. When I saw that they threw bicycles bike just so small, play and play umbul slingshot, make me smile, the same children throughout the world, only the level of the country that are better to distinguish them.
