Description

"Het Zilverreiger kasteel" or as it translates into English, Himeji Castle in Himeji. I took a whole series of pictures when i visited Japan in the summer of 2004 (*). Although there are a lot more castles in Japan, Himeji is one of the few that are still pretty much as they where build in the 16th and 17th century. It has been extensively restored and is a part of the UNESCO world culture heritage since 1993. (* well as matter of facts i was there again in december 2004/january 2005, and will be most likely visiting again in either december/january or spring 2006 during Hanami).
