Like most castles in Japan, not a single nail, bolt, or fastener was used. They used entirely leverage and friction based assemblies. Seen here.








Apparently the deal with many of the castles is the people would wanted to live in the immediate town were required to work on the castle. There were many different foundation types. Each rock, brick or slab you see in feudal time periods of japan were shaped my individual people using small hammers and other rocks. So now that you know this, look at this wall, see anything?

They were shaped and marked to be specifically pieced into the wall. Marked with in install direction.

Look at the precision of the base blocks on this building, done by hand.
