Kyū-Hosokawa Gyōbutei video 13 Aug 2012 | 03:03 pm
I’m toying with the idea of a Japanese castle (or relating to the Japanese castle) video series. Perhaps you could say that’s what I’ve been doing up to now, but those were me meandering and speaking ...

How’s it going everyone? Enjoying our Summer vacation, are we? Well, I’m happy to say that I’ve had some time to put together a video of one of my favourite Japanese castles. It’s more a slide-show th...
A chat about Ogi Domain 10 Jul 2012 | 08:37 pm
I found myself driving through Ogi City (小城市) in Saga Prefecture on the weekend. It sounds like I was there by accident, and actually I was. I had been aware of Ogi Domain for some time, but without a...

This video has had its run on Facebook, Twitter, and of course, Youtube, but I thought it may be a good idea to post it here as well. It comes from my visit to Shimonoseki a few months back. The post,...
