Here's my open question for the group which will help me out when I am
planning my interiors.  I am planning a very large (4 gray baseplate)
Himeji castle and would like to have some ideas on what people have read
or think are legitimate Japanese castle rooms.
Example, the main donjon at Himeji was a command center so the upper floors
served as living quarters for the lord's so we have bedrooms, audience
chambers, meditation rooms, tea rooms.  It usually has storage rooms and
the obligatory arsenal/armory rooms.
Probably administrative rooms for clerks were found there.
What other rooms do you think ?

A personal goal is to build a structure that can (...) (24 years ago, 1-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle.ninja)

KK, I have a bunch of books and all that and comparing the pictures to the movie "Ran", I think you could definitely use the movie as a reference for castle interiors. Chris Barker chris@superfami.com (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle.ninja)
