Matsumoto castle seen through the willows
Matsumoto castle is one of the best preserved of the historic Japanese castles. It was built in 1504 by Shimadachi Sadanaga of the Ogasawara clan and is nicknamed the 'Crow Castle' due to its unusual black colour. It is a listed "National Treasure of Japan". I visited on on a day with dramatic clouds in the sky and a wind rippling the reflections on its moat and thought the willow trees by the banks of the pond made an interesting framing.
