Hagi Castle - Stone Quarries

Hagi Castle was also a fortunate location for the Mori because Mt, Shizuki has a wealth of quality stone for castle building and many outcropping near to the surface or large boulders along the seashore that could be shaped and used for the extensive stone walls of the castle. It is also very rare in that you can still see evidence of those stone quarrying activities today. While many castle procured some if not all their stone on site, to see so many stones that look like they were still actively engaged in quarrying activities is marvelous. NO where else can you easily find so much evidence of quarrying without visiting exotic sites in more difficult to reach locations buried in the mountains and often in rough terrain.

If you've followed Jcastle.info long enough you'll see that I have some fascination with the stone quarry remains of castles too. For more information about the quarries of Edo Castle refer to the article under the Feature Articles menu above. Other articles on queries for Osaka Castle and Fushimi Castle will be along some day too and appear under the same menu.
