Japan’s castle walls are registered cultural treasures that rank among the proudest achievements of Japan’s traditional construction engineering heritage. We coordinate with researchers and experts on their dismantlement and restoration to conserve the traditional techniques. We also provide training for the next generation of castle masons.
