(part.col.), zahlreiche Illustrationen, graph. Darst., mit zahlr. teils farbigen Abbildungen / Fotos, Zustand: geringe Gebrauchs- u. Lagerspuren, sehr gutes Exemplar. Motoo Hinago; translated and adapted by William H. Coaldrake. Literaturverz. S. 189 - 192 , The castle has played a remarkable role in the history of Japan. It was, of course, essentially a military fortification, around which bloody battles were fought by legions of samurai for regional and national hegemony. But the Japanese castle was much more than simply an aggrandized fort. It was a symbol of the aspirations, the pride, and the power of the samurai class, at the pinnacle of which stood the shogun. Administrative center, palatial residence, and focal point for feudal rites of patronage, the castles of Japan became works of art in their own right, flights of sculptural imagination rising up in seeming defiance of their base groundings in commonplace wood and stone. This book tells the story of these testimonials to human pride and ambition, presenting a vivid picture of the movers and the makers, the construction and destruction, the surviving monuments and the excavated sites of the castles of Japan. Preparatory to the story of the Japanese castle per se, the Introduction makes an illuminating comparison between the Japanese castle and its European brother, in terms of both construction and nurturing social conditions. This enables the reader to gain an appreciation of the unique features of the Japanese castle, as well as its similarities with European castles, and to do this in a degree only possible through pertinent juxtaposi-tion. The body of the text is devoted to the Japanese castle itself, as illustrated by 30 color and 109 black-and-white plates.
