Created by Japanese designers Yoshinaka and STpers, comissioned by
Canon website, here is a
beautiful paper model version of the
Matsuyama Castle, in Japan. Matsuyama Castle is a
flatland-mountain castle that was
built in 1603 on
Mount Katsuyama, whose
height is 132 meters, in
Matsuyama city in Ehime Prefecture. This castle was
originally built by Kato Yoshiaki in 1603. It had a
large five-story tenshu, or keep, which was
moved to Aizu Castle when Kato was transferred there in
1627. The next lord,
Tadachika Gamoh, died in
1635, shortly after completing the
ninomaru. After
Tadachika, Matsudaira Sadayuki became the new lord. He completed
a new Castle Tower (tenshu) in 1642. His heirs continued to rule the castle after his death. However, on
New Years Day, 1784, this
Castle Tower (tenshu) was struck by
lightning and burned down. The current
Castle Tower (tenshu) was built between 1820 and
1854. The
castle survived the Meiji restoration, but parts of it were
destroyed by bombing from American forces during World War II. Since
1966, the
city of Matsuyama has been working to
restore the castle.
Criada pelos designers japoneses Yoshinaka e STpers para o
site da Canon, eis aqui uma
bela versão em papel do
Castelo de Matsuyama, no Japão. O Castelo de Matsuyama, também conhecido por
Castelo de Katsuyama e
Castelo Kinki, é um
castelo construído no Monte Katsuyama com vista para a área central da
cidade de Matsuyama. Foi
construído em 1603 por
Kato Ashiaki. Devido ao
grande número de portões, cercas, paredes de pedra escarpada e vales, é comummente
considerado um excelente castelo tanto do
ponto de vista ofensivo como
defensivo.
