Castle at sunset


Osaka Castle was very beautiful at sunset with the perfect balance of the keep, the walls and the moat.

夕映えの城

日本には沢山の城があるが天守、石垣、堀の調和という点ではこの大阪城が随一ではないだろうか。

Castle in the twilight


This is the keep of Osaka Castle which is definitely the landmark of Osaka. The original keep was burned down by lightning in 1665 and the existing keep was built in 1931 with modern technology.

たそがれの天守閣

なぜか世間では余り人気のない大阪城だがやはり大阪人の誇り。天守閣が本物でないのが残念。

Signboard in the field


I found this desirable signboard when moving from Osaka to Kyoto. The sign reads "Hold to Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution". The article bans the use of the force to settle international disputes.

野立て看板 

こちらは阪急電車で京都へ行く時にいつも気になっていた野立て看板。「守れ!憲法9条」とあり大阪教職員組合様のご提供。しかしこのままハナタレ安倍晋三と右翼団体日本会議を放置すればいつかこの看板も焼かれてしまうだろう。
