This album is more of a placeholder it is far from complete. I have gathered a few photos of kokuin I spotted at Himeji Castle over the years but I have yet to make a comprehensive survey for more kokuin. Kokuin are typically associated with the tenkabushin castles (see <a href="">Edo Castle Stone Quarries</a> for more details). A few daimyo who worked on the walls of Edo Castle also took the idea back to their own castles when building or rebuilding the walls so you also find some kokuin at other castles around Japan if not as extensively as the tenkabushin castles.
