The Keep of Edo Castle
What did the keep of Edo Castle really look like?
The last keep of Edo Castle built by the third military leader of the Tokugawa Family, Tokugawa Iemitsu, is said to have been the largest in history. It was created using the most advanced architectural techniques of the day and cost an enormous sum of money.
So, what did this incredible castle actually look like? How was it made? Designs and drawings give us some clues, as do the cultural artifacts and traditional techniques that survive to this day. We have used them to create a program that lets you join us in the exciting process of recreating the keep of Edo Castle.
