| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: "Matsumoto Castle (Matsumoto-jō), also known as the "Crow Castle" (Karasu-jo) because of its black exterior, is one of Japan's premier historic castles...Its complete defences would have included an extensive system of inter-connecting walls, moats and gatehouses."--Wikipedia. Note: "Matsumoto Castle (Matsumotojo)...is a good example of a so-called "hirajiro", a castle built on the plain rather than on a hill or mountain...Matsumotojo's castle tower and smaller, second turret were built from 1592 to 1614."--Japan Guide website. Note: Original caption information for this image provided as: "Black Matsumoto Castle, Built in 1552 by Ogasawara Sadayoshi Matsumoto". |
