About This Project
Inspired by Katsushika Hokusai's "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," this ongoing photography project captures my hometown, Himeji Castle, from various angles, seasons, and times of day.
Recording 36 different expressions of the castle, affectionately known as "White Heron Castle" (Shirasagi-jō).
The 6×6 grid layout organizes photos by season, one row at a time.
Row 1 (01-06) Spring, Row 2 (07-12) Summer, Row 3 (13-18) Autumn, Row 4 (19-24) Winter,
Rows 5-6 (25-36) feature interior views and special angles of the castle.
This page is a work in progress. New photos will be added as they are taken. Please enjoy the process toward completion.
※ Photos will be added progressively as they are taken

Whenever I return to my hometown of Himeji, I gradually build this collection. Different seasonal expressions, changing light throughout the day, views from various angles. While committed to the number 36, I aim for completion at a leisurely pace.
