"Photographs and Memories: When he was in Japan, Gary visited the site where Nagoya Castle once stood. 
The castle was built in 1612, and it was destroyed during World War II; the castle proper itself was not
rebuilt until 1957-59.  Gary would have seen only a few of the outbuildings that survived the war,
including the southwest, two-level Hitsuji Saru Yagura (corner turret)."  [Shown above]
