From the Dust Jacket: "Behind the glossy facade of modern Japan there survive remnants - some of them surprisingly well preserved - of the country's feudal past, of warlords and fighting samurai, of shoguns and sequestered emperors, of princes and peasants. What could be more evocative of those glamorous and sometimes bloody days gone-by than a many-gabled castle, with its great, tiled roofs, perched high on a country hillside? This book vividly presents the castles of Japan, more than 80 of them altogether, ranging geographically from Matsumae on the northern island of Hokkaido to Kagoshima in southern Kyushu.".
