ARCHITECTURE:
TRADITIONAL AND MODERN
JAPANESE CASTLES
Takashi
Toyooka has pulled together an extensive indexed collection of information
on castles located throughout the empire.
Eric Obershaw provides similar information on his Japanese Castles web site along with discussions of defense mechanisms, history and structure.
Atul Varma from Kenyon College discusses the architecture of Japanese castles in an illustrated essay from 1999; Linda Williams completed a similar project on castles at The Australian National University.
