Hishi Yagura / Kanazawa Castle

Restoration of the Hishi-Yagura (菱櫓 (ひしやぐら) "diamond turret") watchtower, the original destroyed over 120 years ago. Constructed using traditional building techniques, 2001, it now looks as it did in the mid-C19. The roof tiles are made of lead with a trace of copper. Kanazawa-shi, Ishikawa-ken, Japan.
