(4) Gojukken Nagaya 2nd floor
Gojukken Nagaya was designed to function as a store-house for weapons and as a castle wall for protection. If you look up, you can plain see the fine wood structures. Most of the wood pieces are fastened without nails and bolts. These wood pieces have holes and also prongs which stick out to match these holes. Wood pieces are put together using this technique, and reinforced with wooden wedges. The buildings in this reconstruction project are all built according to traditional Japanese architectural methods, using posts, beams, and strong walls. The strong walls are made by combining earthen walls, wooden posts and bars. As a result, this structure turned out to be very durable against earthquakes, too.
