As for links I found the best way to get to the links is go to the
search engine http://www.google.com then search for "japanese castles"
And pay attention to the links which end in .jp. Those are the best.
Lots of pics from pro and amateur photographers from Japan of castles.

Not a commonly known fact. But an even number of tiers is considered bad
luck hence all central donjons (towers) are 3 or 5 tiers.

Looks like you have a better handle on the "interiors" than I do.
BTW, the outside of a donjon might be 3 tiers but the inside might have
4 levels. It is not a one tier/one level situation.

I too am glad to know of you and Michael Hopkins of the superfortress
structure.
If you want to share your pics before the official post, I would love
to see them. Just email me direct and we can compare notes.
