Sightseeing at Shuri Castle 3
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 18 November 2008 in Architecture.
Details of the decoration on top of the main hall at Shuri castle, Naha.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

Fascinating details . . right down to those imprints in the little 'seals' . . what a celebratory place this is.

I really like those dragons, they have a distinctly Japanese look.

@Twelvebit: The Ryukyu kingdom was very interesting; a blend of cultures, with lots of Japanese and Chinese influence.
marc from France
too much for an "occidental", Japan just have to make Japon land..
