Kōchi Castle is a castle located in Kochi, Kochi Prefecture, Japan. Construction was completed in 1611. Much of the original fortress burned down in 1727; it was reconstructed between 1729 and 1753 in the original style.
The castle underwent major restoration from 1948 to 1959. Though no battles were fought at the castle, it is noteworthy because the castle is the original structure, and not a post-war replica, like many others in japan.
NOTE: There are only 12 castles left in Japan that are considered as “original” !!
It is also the only castle in Japan to retain both its original main keep, and its palace, the residence of the local Daimyo. In fact, it is the only castle to have all the original buildings in the honmaru, or innermost ring of defense, still standing.
Clicked at the M. G. Road Station in Kochi, Kerala. The Kochi Metro is a rapid transit system serving the city of Kochi in Kerala, India. It was opened to the public within four years of starting construction in 2017. It is the world's first rapid transit system whose entire management operations are handled by women. The Kochi Metro project is the first metro in the country which connects rail, road and water transport facilities.
There are currently 16 operational rapid transit (Officially and popularly known as 'Metro') systems in sixteen cities across India, with the Delhi Metro being the largest. As of November 2023, India has 895 kilometres (556 miles) of operational metro lines and 16 systems. India's metro network is the third longest in the world, behind China and USA. It will soon be the second largest when a further 568.15 km of lines, which are under contruction, are completed. The sheer amount of development work going on in India right now is tremendous with the Metro system being just a part. According to a report published in 2021, a total of 2.63 billion people travelled annually in metro systems across India's sixteen major cities, placing the country as one of the busiest urban rapid transit hubs in the world in terms of ridership. These rapid transit Metro lines are not operated by Indian Railways, but a separate set of local authorities.

Kochi (auch als Cochin bekannt) ist eine Stadt des indischen Bundesstaates Kerala im Südwesten des Landes. Der Hafen existiert seit 1341, als eine Flut das Hafenbecken der Stadt aushöhlte und es damit für arabische, chinesische und europäische Händler öffnete. Die Sehenswürdigkeiten wie das Fort Kochi spiegeln diese Einflüsse wider. Es handelt sich um eine Siedlung mit kolonialen einstöckigen Ziegelhäusern und verschiedenen Andachtsgebäuden. Ausladende chinesische Fischernetze sind für Kochi typisch und werden bereits seit Jahrhunderten genutzt.

It surely is fun and light-hearted to paint in fauvist style. I can be loose, relaxed and I don't care about details ... So I started exploring subject matters that I couldn't easily tackle in the past like night scenes. Following Gary's comments of not following exact reality, and emphasizing on strong features, two very fauvist attributes, I'm really having a great time cranking out these paintings.
