Last Week I finally finished the book and already ordered a copy for proof reading.

As soon as everything is fine I will start launching this project on Kickstarter.

Here's a preview of some of the 400+ pictures of "日本の城 - Japanese Castles" of 19 castles on 292 pages. Launch on Kickstarter will be in April. Enjoy! 

Only 4 castles left

Still Working on my Picturebook for my upcoming Kickstarter campaign, a few more castles are finished now, currrently there are ~40/290 pages left: Fukushima, Nagoya, Matsumoto and Kishiwada

To finish up that entry I hereby present Fushimi castle with a mixed abstract Background and the family crest of Toyotomi mixed with Matsudaira.

Shikoku - Cherry Blossom

Once again we've reached the next chapter. After working on Shuri on Okinawa I went over to Kyushu's Kokura and Karatsu Castle close to Fukuoka followed by Okayama.

Kyushu and Okayama is finished now, so it's time to return to April of 2017, when I was on a pilgrimage to 88 temples on Shikoku during Cherry blossum season, I only finished ~30, due to a leg injury my journey ended in Kochi forcing me to return back to Osaka. On my way back I went via Uwajima und Matsuyama before finally arriving at the bus station back to Osaka.

Therefore Kochi, Uwajima and Matsuyama castle on Shikoku are my current chapters to work on, here's a small teaser, enjoy and join my followers for my upcoming Kickstarter project 日本の城 - Japanese Castles with 350+ pictures of Japanese castles on 280+ pages.

Next Chapter

Time for a new update on my Kickstarter campaign 日本の城 - "Japanese Castles ". After finishing Kiyosu Castle it was time for Shuri Castle in Naha on Okinawa. It's sad that I have only a few pictures of that fortress, especially because it burnt down last year. Beside a few pictures with almost the same angle and too many people walking by I only have pictures of hibiscus a some dragon statues.

After Okinawa I went North and assorted pictures of Karatsu Castle, which is also called crane castle.

Currently I am working on Okayama, which might be the most difficult, because beside Osaka I have the most pictures of that castle to choose from.

Enjoy and don't forget to follow and back my campaign when it will be launched.

Kiyosu Preview

 Hello everyone,

I will try to give a few updates about the current process of my picturebook "日本の城 - Japanese Castles" on Kickstarter. In my previous entry New Photo-Project on the horizon I gave a small roundup.

I am currently working on my pictures of Kiyosu castle, which is close to Nagoya-shi.

Kiyosu was already featured in my 1st Kickstarter campaign.

Beside being used in the book this picture will be part of my  ADD-ON-Postcards reward, I hope you like it and will support my Kickstarter campaign, when it's launched soon.
