Nagoya Castle – by the moat
| Tweet |
Again with the postcards? Yes, they continue, and there’s still quite a few to go. Just like all the postcards that I’ve posted before, this one has a bit of age to it. Exactly how old it is, I’ll not at all sure. How about…. early 1900′s? It has some nice colour to it too, what do you think?
Pictured is Nagoya castle, a castle I’d really like to get back too. You know, I might just take this opportunity to digress a moment… Has everyone heard that story how in Japan you can forget your wallet on the bus and then when you come back an hour later it’ll still there? Well, that’s basically what happened to me on my visit to this castle, except the wallet, minus the cash, ended up in Nara. Well, it was my own stupid fault.
The Tenshu (天守) and Lesser Tenshu (小天守) can be seen in the distance. The moat runs from left-to-right (or right-to-left if you’d prefer), but it also runs from where the two boys stand toward the Lesser Tenshu. This in effect splits the Ofukai-maru (御深井丸) & the Nish-no-maru (西の丸).
When I look at this postcard, I begin to feel nostalgic for a time I never experienced. 懐かしい
