Himeji Castle Review

Visiting Jilu City, Hyogo County, I would like to see Lou Road City. Because this wooden building is Japan's well-deserved "national treasure", it was listed as the world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 1993, and also Japan's first world cultural heritage. But Lou Lu City is now mostly covered up and told that it is being repaired, which is somewhat melancholy. It was built in the first three years (1333 A.D.). After the construction of Toyota Shiuji and Ikeda Huizheng, the whole building was completed in the period of Benduo loyalty in 1617. It has a history of more than 400 years. Oolu Road City and Kumamoto City, Matsumoto City jointly known as Japan's three famous cities. Because of its good preservation, it is also known as "Japan's first city". Hyogo Prefecture is the place with the most wars in Japanese history, so it is named Hyogo Prefecture. The purpose of building the city of Lou Lu was also to fight, but although the castle had changed ownership several times, there had never been a war here. During World War II, in order to protect the ancient buildings of Jilu City, the U.S. Army did not bomb it, and Jilu City was lucky to survive. Lou Lu Castle is the largest and most elegant representative castle in the existing ancient castles in Japan. The castle was built on the top of Jishan Mountain at an altitude of 45.6 meters, and the overall feeling of the complex was white. The Castle looks like an egret flying in the sky, so it is also known as "Egret City". Because it looks white and beautiful outside the city, there are many times dramas and movies filmed here. The main altar of Lou Lu City is Tianshouge, 31 meters high, which is mainly used for sacrifice and protection. Looking from the elevation, Tianshou Pavilion is almost square. The four corners of the main building are closely attached to the four large and small annexed towers, namely Xiaotianshang Pavilion. The design of each annexed towers is both unified and varied. Looking at each small Tianshou Pavilion individually, it is square, but when combined, the arrangement is staggered and different. The eaves of the roof diffuse in all directions, each with its own characteristics. In addition, the shape and size of the windows of each city building are not uniform. This diversified and unified architectural form, in fact, has five layers in appearance and six layers in interior, including one underground layer. The interior of Tianshou Pavilion is made of wood, with a masonry outer wall. The lower part is made of large barren stones and the upper part is plastered with white ash. The combination of delicate and bright white ash and rugged barren stone produces a strong contrast in color and texture, and the pure white and bright appearance shows the beauty of harmony. The arc line and straight line on the cabinet wall of Tianshou Cabinet, together with the long hanging fish and carvings like Huaban, are very gorgeous and elegant. From 2011 to 2015, the city of Lou Lu is under renovation. The renovation of Lou Lu City is different from the normal opening. The audience can see the renovation process of yesterday from the TV video. Himeji Castle is still retained some of the city. The city is surrounded by a moat, into the city after a long Sakura Road, on both sides of the ancient trees. I can see the cherry blossoms in spring, beautiful scene tenshuokaku and white cherry.
