It's a long way

Indeed it is and I don't mean the pilgrimage on Shikoku - I hope my next approach will be better - I am actually talking about the Kickstarter campaign for my illustrated book.

We've already achieved ~20% but there is still a lot left.

Uwajima

Beside the project page of 日本の城 - Japanese Castles I will show you a few pages of the book giving you a better idea of the book and its 292 pages with 400+ pictures of 19 castles.

There won't be any text, except for the preface giving you the opportunity to completely focus on the pictures. Every chapter is having one page with a family crest, this resemples the daimyo (samurai lord) clan that either build or is connected the most to the history or the relevance of that specific castle, e.g. Fushimi/Momoyama castle in Kyoto got the emblem of the Toyotomi clan, who's leader Hideyoshi built the castle, in Uwajima it's a mixture between the Ashina and Date clan and a 3rd example is about Kiyosu castle which was the residence of Oda Nobunaga.

I would appreciate every support - Thank you!

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.

日本の城 - New photo project on the horizon about Japanese Castles

Here's a small teaser of a few pictures that will end up in the book 🏯

Enjoy and join my campaign💪🙏

Kickstarter - Postcards of Japan - from Hokkaido to Okinawa

Hello everyone,

after many months of inactivity and Corona I wanted to post something again.

I had started a Kickstarter campaign, because I normally travel to Japan every year and in 2020 I can't so I wanted to "give something back", creating that project to print postcards that I would like to offer for international shipping, giving the opportunity for some sort of inspirition for future travels or just for decoration.

Imagining someone would be inspired to travel to those places and using one of my cards to send it back home after exploring those spots themself is a nice idea.

The last hours have started and only a few are left to back my project.

If you like the idea of a poctcard pictures from Hokkaido to Okinawa, just follow this link: http://kck.st/36fwe3E, I am happy about every support.

Thank you and enjoy

Here's a small preview of some of those cards:
