Craftsmanship in Nijo Castle


Craftsmanship.
These ancient structures like Nijo Castle were entirely built by human hands and that’s why some craftsmen left their proof, an Easter Egg, for the future as they knew the importance.
The main gate of this castle has bronze decorations. Almost entirely they are the same designs but it has 1 thing different from other parts. It has a small bird, a flying plover, in the bottom of the north pillar on your right hand when you enter the castle.
