Fun Trivia : Did you know that Osaka Castle was black?

It was built by the real Taiko, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, before it was destroyed and reconstructed into a white castle by Tokugawa Ieyasu. After the death of the "dictator" Oda Nobunaga, Hideyoshi constructed impressive castles like Osaka to herald his new position.

Castles that were built during Hideyoshi's reign like Hiroshima, Okayama and Matsumoto are black. Castles built during Tokugawa's reign like Hikone, Himeji and Nagoya are white. So when you see a castle on your next trip to Japan, you can guess who built it. 😉

The differences in color is due to the resources availability at the time, as white plastering were more expensive than black lacquered timber, so it is of no surprise that Tokugawa later used white for his castles as a symbol of wealth and power.

You can read more from the book, Samurai Castles by Jennifer Mitchelhill which share the history of Japanese castles, from its designs, architectures, layouts, significance and legends, coupled with wonderful photos of the castles by David Green.

#おでかけ #松本城

美術館を出��後は、松本城付近をぶらっと歩いてみました。

特に目的があるわけではないので、あてもなくお堀の周りを適当にぶらぶら。遅めの時間帯だったのでそれほど混んではいませんでした。これは2022年8月の記録なんですが、今はもっと外国人観光客とか増えてそうだなと思いつつ…。

橋は渡れないようです。

別角度から。午前中諏訪のあたりは曇ってましたが、松本城はほんとにきれいな青空をバックにすることができました。

Matsumoto Castle (松本城, Matsumoto-jō), originally known as Fukashi Castle, is one of Japan's premier historic castles. The building is also known as the "Crow Castle" (烏城, Karasu-jō) due to its black exterior. It was the seat of Matsumoto Domain under the Edo Period Tokugawa shogunate. It is located in the city of Matsumoto, in Nagano Prefecture and is within easy reach of Tokyo by road or rail.
