Nijo Castle was built as the Kyoto residence of the Tokugawa line of Shoguns at the beginning of the 17th century. Seen here is the courtyard brass cistern adjacent to the bodyguards' chambers of the castle's Ninomaru Palace, a 33,500 square foot building, constructed entirely of cypress wood, that still stands four centuries later.

Kinkaku-ji wurde im 14. Jhdt als Alterssitz des Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu errichtet. Die oberen Etagen sind mit Blattgold verkleidet.
Was parked in a Mitsubishi Showroom! I wonder how many miles this has as it looks in amazing condition! (plates came of a 2014 shogun so can't find any information about it)
Very rare to spot a red one of these! lt also comes up as a 2.5 which they never made (only made them in the shogun sport)
This place is called "Chidorigafuchi". It is one of moats which surrounded Edo Castle(Edo-jo). The Tokugawa government was established in this castle from 1603 to 1868. Shogun who was the head of the government lived in this castle. He governed Japan for a long time. Maybe Shogun also walked around moats and saw the landscape there. Now this place is open for citizens. It is one of the famous places with cherry blossoms in Tokyo. This night many people visited there and saw cherry blossoms around this moat.
This picture was taken with ISO1600. I knew that it isn't appropriate sensitivity. Because this place was crowded with visitors awfully, I can't stabilize the camera enough, even though I used a tripod. Therefor regretfully, I couldn't avoid the noise in the image.
Vintage board game
This game plays on a 8×8 grid, with each player having 7 pawns and 1 King, which start lined up on opposite sides of the board. Each player can remove the other's pieces by moving onto them, as in chess.
But what sets this game apart is that there is a window on each piece, which shows a number indicating the number of moves that piece can make. And due to the working of many magnets under the board, the number automatically changes depending on which space the pawn or king is on.
Each of the pawns responds differently on the board. After several games the board can be rotated to keep the players guessing.
Before Ninjago there was a samurai castle theme called Ninja in the 1990s.
I only had two small sets from that theme #6013 and #3018, but still feel nostalgic whenever I see some of these old sets and minifigs.
Maybe I’ll also build something from that theme, the Summer Joust would be a great opportunity.
Hope you like these three minifigs.
I created some more minifigs fitting that old Samurai theme but these were the best and I don’t have enough of these cool looking custom katanas yet.

A crowd favorite. The shogun is a racer taking part in the Meteor League races. It appeared one day on the track and started to win one race after another. No body ever saw its pilot's face nor its internal specs. The only hint is an old japanese flag on its tail fin...
I just LOVE november!
The outside balcony. Nice floor, and views.
Hakone Gardens , originally built by the Stine family as a sumer retreat in Saratoga, Ca, is the oldest Japanese estate garden in the Western Hemisphere, established in 1915. It is one of the prime land marks by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and is an authentic replica of Japanese Samurai or Shogun’s estate garden, designed by Tsunematsu Shintani.
Oh that one will be a surprise.
Done for the great Luke Rook / Grody Shogun who commisioned me by surprise for this surprise, which is just surprisingly...weird! :D
