The Himeji Castle against the blue sky and white clouds is particularly snowy and dazzling. An ancient castle located in Jishan (45.6 meters above sea level) in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, is the main symbol of the city, due to its white exterior walls and plaques. The shape of the eaves is like an egret with wings, so it is also known as the Egret City. Looking at the city wall outside, the entire Himeji Castle is full of the colors of the Japanese Warring States. Every link adds the wisdom and care of the craftsmen of the time. Surrounded by the ditch city pool, the stone sarcophagus and the city wall are fixed to the castle. At the same time, there are stone plaques separated from the city walls in each city or area, and there are holes called narrow spaces on the walls for placing iron cannons and bows and arrows, so that foreign enemies cannot enter easily. The narrow stone is steeply sloped. This feature is called a fan-shaped slope and the upper part is lifted outwards, making it difficult to climb. Gray tile white wall, in order to fire the exterior walls are all coated with white mortar.
