Matsusaka Castle was built in 1588 by Gamō Ujisato (1556-1595), who was a senior retainer of Oda Nobunaga and then later served Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Ujisato was quick to understand the benefits of Nobunaga’s economic policies and turned Matsusaka into a magnet for merchants with free trade policies and other incentives. Mitsui Takatoshi (1622-1694), founder of what has become today’s powerful Mitsui conglomerate, was from Matsusaka and opened a kimono shop in Edo (now Tokyo) in 1673. The kimono shop was the forerunner of today’s Mitsukoshi department store.
And Matsusaka Castle served as a major strongpoint along the Ise Road that connected the Grand Shrine of Ise to the Tōkaidō Road- Japan’s main medieval transportation artery. During the Edo Period, Matsusaka was under the control of the Kishū Tokugawa clan. The strength of the castle is evident in its impressive stone walls, which survive intact. Unfortunately, the castle’s keep was destroyed as the result of a typhoon in 1644. The castle was abandoned in 1871 when control of all castles was transferred to the Meiji government. Matsusaka Castle’s main palace was lost to fire in 1877, and the rest of the buildings were razed in 1881. But again, the walls are still intact and if you are fan of Japanese Castle stonework, then Matsusaka Castle is a must visit site.

Immediately in front of the chain on the front sprocket. That's where oil comes from and I can put the plug back in and not leak oil, but I just don' t think I trust that.
This image shows the preset drawings of some of our more popular designs beside the actual fabricated retainers.
Scott correctly guessed that it was a retainer pond. I was afraid it would be a playground. Maybe I'll get some kickass wetland wildlife. I'm not sure they'd let me set up a duck blind though.

Kishiwada Castle, located in Osaka, was built by Koide Hidemasa, a retainer of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, in 1582, near the site of where Kusunoki Masashige built a fort in the 1300s. In 1640, ownership of the castle was transferred to Okabe Norikatsu and the Okabe family maintained possession of the castle and the Kishiwada fief until the Meiji Restoration in 1868.
In 1827 lightning destroyed the castle’s main keep and much of the remaining part of the castle was destroyed during the fighting between the Tokugawa and Imperial forces during the civil strife associated with the Meiji Restoration. The current three-story ferroconcrete keep was built in 1954, but it has been confirmed that the original donjon was 5 stories. The moat and the outer stone walls are all that remain of the original castle. All other structures, including the gate, are reconstructions.
The renowned garden designer, Mirei Shigemori, constructed the Hachi Jin no Niwa rock garden in 1953 using chlorite schist from Okinoshima Island in Wakayama Prefecture and white sand from the Shirakawa River in Kyoto. He personally chose all the larger stones and arranged the garden based on the Chinese concept of the battle formation of the eight elements of heaven: earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds and snakes.
Oishi Kuranosuke was the chief retainer of the Asano clan during the turmoil associated with the 47 Ronin incident, in which the feudal lord, Asano Naganori, attacked and wounded Kira Yoshinaka within Edo Castle. As drawing a weapon within the shogun's castle was a capital offence, Asano was sentenced to commit seppuku the same day.
As a result of Asano's impulsive behavior, the Shogunate disbanded the Asano clan and seized their lands. Oishi and 46 other former Asano retainers waited and unleashed their misguided revenge on Kira, attacking his home in the dead of night in December 1703, killing his body guards as well as taking his head and placing it in front of Asano's tomb in Sengaku-ji Temple in Takanawa, Tokyo.
All the Akō ronin were sentenced to death by seppuku (harakiri). The loyalty that these guys showed to their foolish lord by committing what can only be described as what me and some of my friends referr to as a feudal "drive-by"- Japanese style, has been lauded by the Japanese public ever since. The facts behind the actual events have been buried in the countless puppet and kabuki plays as well as movies that have been made about this.
I'm not a terribly big fan of Asano Naganori, nor do I think the Akō ronin were particularly "brave" by carrying out a night attack after a party and fighting a small group of drunk bodyguards and taking the head of a feeble old man. But, this perspective is from modern, western eyes. In reality, night attacks of this nature have always been a staple of samurai warfare, being documented since the Heian period. As much as I don't partake in the 47 Ronin Kool Aid drinking parties, I do admit to enjoying watching a good fictional film or kabuki play about these guys.

Riding to Wrigleyville after picking up a spare battery from Calumet Photo on Cherry Street on Goose Island. I've been to the store twice now - they have a great selection of private label goods and good customer service.
I'm not sure how this facial expression happened. I'm glad my new camera has a wide-angle lens because it makes taking panda shots easier.

Used when setting of occlusion is required or crossing over of occlusion is undesirable. Standard design includes a labial bow with adjustment loops at canines contoured to the second molars. Support is also provided by palatal hooks at the canines. Modified Versions may include acrylic on the bow 3-3 and/ or C clasps on the second molars.
I've finally finished mounting the marquee artwork and retainer bars. The artwork is between 2 sheets of lexan (which is really tough stuff, but also a little pricey).
I had to remove the T-Molding to fix the marquee, so that I didn't get paint on it and accidentally cut it with the jigsaw.
