Bit of an update for those interested in castle restoration efforts. We’ve already discussed the contributions of Toppan Printing Co. (凸版印刷), which has gathered detailed images of the walls and where each rock was before they tumbled down. Now, the Japanese Science and Technology Agency (人科学技術振興機,ＪＳＴ）has gotten involved to figure out how damaged stones can be reconfigured to match the original design.The photo attached shows how this might be done, with replaced stones highlighted. So the idea now is that Toppan will provide digital imagery and JST will aid in reconstructing the stones that have been lost. - William
