One more castle from my New Year trip around Shikoku island. Another of the few remaining 'original' castles left in Japan (not counting reconstruction over the years because of things such as lightning strikes - 'original' basically means not destroyed during World War II), it was built between 1602 and 1628.

@chris chisu: Thanks chris!
ah yes.. matsuyama-jo! great shot here... i don't think have seen it in winter... next time, if you can sneak a tripod in, see if you can snap a 1/2" exposure to blur the people slightly ;-) might look pretty slick!

@Elle: It was. Not as big as some castles in Japan though. Thanks Elle.
Nice shot. The color treatment plus the bare branches give us the impression pf a cold and damp day.
