The last shogun


This is a silhouette of Osaka castle at dusk, which looks like a shogun in armor seeing his last days with sorrow and vanity.

最後の将軍

これは薄暮の大阪城のシルエットだが哀しみと虚しさで最後の日々を見つめる将軍のように見える。

The photo reminds me of the fall of Toyotomi Family.

The roof of a castle tower is visible to a 'kabuto'.
The silhouette of Osaka Castle looks also like a figure.
It is wonderful.

天守閣の屋根が兜にみえて来ます。
大阪城のシルエットが人影のようにも見えます。
不思議です。
