The Real Thing At Winter |
Located near the center of Osaka Prefecture,
Osaka Castle was built on flat land on the
Uemachi Plateau, on the former site of the
Ishiyama Honganji Temple. In
1583, Toyotomi Hideyoshi completed construction of this
magnificent and splendid castle, which took three years in total. The
castle fell in
1615 during the fighting known as
the winter siege and summer siege of Osaka. Later,
Tokugawa Hidetada rebuilt and greatly remodeled the castle. However, most of this remodeled
Osaka Castle was destroyed during the
Boshin War. Today's castle was restored in
1931, based on paintings of the original on folding screens. Together with those in Nagoya and Kumamoto,
Osaka Castle numbers among
Japan's three most important castles. -

Osaka Castle In 1865 |
Localizado próximo ao centro da Cidade de Osaka, o
Castelo de Osaka foi construído sobre o
Platô de Uemachi, no lugar do antigo
Templo de Ishiyama Honganji. Em
1583,
Toyotomi Hideyoshi terminou a obra deste grandioso castelo, o que levou três anos.
O castelo foi destruído em 1615, durante a batalha que ficou conhecida como
"o cerco de Inverno e Verão de Osaka". Mais tarde,
Tokugawa Hidetada reconstruiu e melhorou muito o castelo. No entanto, muito do que foi remodelado, foi destruído na
Guerra Boshin. O castelo foi restaurado em
1931, baseado em
pinturas do castelo original feitas em biombos. Juntamente com o
Castelo de Nagoya e o de Kumamoto, o Castelo de Osaka figura entre os
três mais importantes castelos do Japão.

It is the cathedral in Christchurch New Zealand which is badly damaged by the 6.3 earthquake last year.
Hello, Young Stan,
DeleteThanks for the tip and the visit!
I will do it tomorrow! It is a coincidence, I am building this church, but I rescale to the half size. It is a good easy-to-build model!
