Michael.
Society of Ancient magazine Slingshot had a recent article on Japanese
fortifications.
Turnbulls Samurai Warfare book also has some interesting information
along with at least one of his other books, but I forget which off hand.
When I was in Japan I bought a plastic model kit of Matsumoto castle
which is helpful.
I remember recently looking through a bibliography and seeing a number
of references to books on castles, and it is on my list of things to
reference as well.
Logically thinking, its probably in the slingshot article so I will
check.
Hope that helps
Kind regards
Rob

To all out there
During my latest vacation in Japan, I spent rather a
lot of time (well spent) and money visiting a number
of fortifications on Honshu . It sparked a new area
of interest for me and thus I'd appreciate any info in
regards to where I can acquire quality material on the
history of Japanese castles, since trawling a number
of large bookstores in Tokyo and Osaka presented with
nothing (in English).
All info appreciated
