Sorry, but no they are not “in their original position from an earlier structure” , and are not “repurposed and reused stone from a Buddhist temple or the ancient palace from 4th Century A.D.” From what I have read in Japan, in Japanese language, by Japanese architects, they have a pretty detailed understanding of who built what and where most of them came from. Many of the stones used in the construction of castle walls had markings (Kokuin) to indicate which Lord or quarry brought the stones to the castle. This was to help officials make sure each daimyo met their quota in making the castle. 5 of the 10 largest of these large stones were brought to Osaka Castle by Tadao Ikeda from Sadoshima and it’s surrounds. Even today at the quarry site there are still other large megaliths that were never transported. This is from a publication written in Japanese, quoting/reporting from a former head of Osaka Castle park. Some of the large megaliths in use at Osaka Castle still show the “arrow holes” (as they call them), the row of holes at the top were used to split them. Osaka Univeristy has clarified that the “Mitsuke Stone”, and the “third stone” (4th and 8th in the list below) are the same rock, split in half and then flipped right and left. They came from 讃岐 小豆島, Shodoshima Island in the inland sea. Most of the stones are from islands and were taken to Osaka by boat. The “Octopus Stone” is 75Cm in width and was first put in place in 1624 by Tadao Ikeda from the Okayama Domain. It was quarried in Bizen Inujima (備前 犬島) The Japanese currently rank these megaliths from Number 1 to Number 10, with the Octopus Stone being Number 1. Stones and there quarrying site, and the Lord/Daimiyo who brought it to Osaka. Number 1: Bizen Inujima - Okayama Tadao Ikeda Number 2: Sanuki Shodoshima - Okayama Tadao Ikeda Number 3: Bizen Inujima - Okayama Tadao Ikeda Number 4: Sanuki Shodoshima (Senke) - Kumamoto Tadahiro Kato Number 5: Sanuki Shodoshima (Senke) - Kumamoto Tadahiro Kato Number 6: Bizen Okinoshima (Kitagijima?) - Okayama Tadao Ikeda Number 7: Sanuki Shodoshima - Okayama Tadao Ikeda Number 8: Sanuki Shodoshima - Kumamoto Tadahiro Kato Number 9: (Unknown) - Okayama Tadao Ikeda Number 10: Bizen Okinoshima - Okayama Tadao Ikeda Here is a link to Google Maps for one of the quarries. Ten’gu-iwa Quarry at Sanuki, Shodoshima (Shodoshima Island) goo.gl/maps/DT97dHEjwKK6Zc4K7 Zoom in and you will see 2 other quarries are very close, to the north. Literally 100 - 200 meters away. Here is a good site, in English that explains how castles were made, but focus on Edo Castle, which was one of many made the same way, around the same time. jcastle.info/view/Edo_Castle_Stone_Quarries

That is actually more impressive in my book. Moving these huge stones was an impressive work and being able to trace them is rather useful. It is pretty fascinating how many older houses still stands in Japan while never houses so often get damaged by earthquakes. I assume that is a mix between trial and error and a case of very competent engineers. Wooden castles with stone foundations were pretty popular in many places, like for instance England just after the Norman invasion but in the west they were replaced far earlier by pure stone castles with only interior things like floors and and of course the roof made of wood.

Good info to know. Thanks! In the literature you read did it mention why they required stones of this sort? With all of the issues of cutting out such large stones along with the transportation then erecting them on site it would of been a monumental task. It would of been made even more difficult with the terrain they had to navigate and prior construction to work around. Perhaps these were considered to be anchor stones. To be put in the most vulnerable places with castle defense in mind.

@@danhnguyen-fn9eb I think that has to do with their earth quake safe building technique. Using stone of very varied size makes the castle far more flexible if an earthquake hits compared to only using smaller or larger rocks. So it certainly had to do with defense but not from military defense. For that you could have far smaller and easier to transport stones, a single ton each stapled in the right way would be just as effective against an attacker. It is a rather brilliant case of engineering even if it requires a lot of work.

The skill of the masons is obviously incredible, but to have these huge blocks would seem to be a matter of convenience rather than a departure of the usual skillful technique used elsewhere. I know, I know, the usual answer is the "many hands, light work" theory. But I am a stoneworker and unless such rocks were convenient to use, other techniques would be preferred.

From a book made in the early 30's, hence the archaic names and spellings. The Andites mentioned are the result of a civiliztion that evolved in Mesopotamia long ago. Their descendants brought the technology of megalithic masonry to Egypt and left samples in the rest of the world Here are some relevant quotes: 'These Andites were adventurous; they had roving dispositions. An increase of either Sangik or Andonite stock tended to stabilize them. But even so, their later descendants never stopped until they had circumnavigated the globe and discovered the last remote continent... 'By 12,000 b.c. three quarters of the Andite stock of the world was resident in northern and eastern Europe, and when the later and final exodus from Mesopotamia took place, sixty-five per cent of these last waves of emigration entered Europe... 'From time to time small groups made their way into Japan, Formosa, the East Indies, and southern China, though very few entered southern China by the coastal route. One hundred and thirty-two of this race, embarking in a fleet of small boats from Japan, eventually reached South America and by intermarriage with the natives of the Andes established the ancestry of the later rulers of the Incas. They crossed the Pacific by easy stages, tarrying on the many islands they found along the way. The islands of the Polynesian group were both more numerous and larger then than now, and these Andite sailors, together with some who followed them, biologically modified the native groups in transit. Many flourishing centers of civilization grew up on these now submerged lands as a result of Andite penetration. Easter Island was long a religious and administrative center of one of these lost groups. But of the Andites who navigated the Pacific of long ago none but the one hundred and thirty-two ever reached the mainland of the Americas.

Domo arigato gozaimashta, Matt Sensei, for an interesting excursion to ancient architecture in 日本は日出ずる国, where I lived for 4 years and visited a number of times before and since. I've visited a number of these castles, including those in ruinous state like Fukuoka no sekiJo [福岡城] which may have been renovated since I lived there decades ago. The ancient architecture of China, Japan, Korea and other ancient civilizations of Asia are remarkable. Obviously, since we often have written records of their construction and those who built them, only the most foolhardy resort to giving credit to Aliens, Atlanteans, gods and spirits. Japan and Korea are well worth a visit, though many architectural gems, being made of wood, are easily destroyed and may, like some temples, have been rebuilt in antique style many times. いつものように、私の最高の願いを受け入れてください wishing you all the best for continuing excellent work!

One thing that is rarely commented on with these massive stone structures and monoliths is how differently our ancestors conceived of permanence in buildings when compared to our use of stone and other building materials today. Compared to these older construction techniques, today, our modern buildings all seem to be designed as temporary structures, with the supposed permanence and strength that might come with our use of metals actually leading to buildings that are designed for decay and replacement in relatively short spaces of time, often after only a decade or two. Even with the so-called permanence of concrete, this mostly breaks down very quickly, and for us to imagine how or why our ancestors would consider cutting and quarrying such massive stone blocks would seem to require us to think of and plan for the permanence of life and cultures in ways that are now denied to us, from within what can be called our slash and burn mentality, even as this slashing and burning way of thinking and living can be mistaken for a culture of permanence when its constant demolishing and rebuilding takes place over say 20/50/100 years. II we continue to use today's limited, restless and ever-changing mind-set to think with when faced with such historic and gargantuan tasks, trying to understand the minds of those ancestors who made them will always be denied to us.

Lol Thanks Side note: I’ve been to Greece many times and observed remote churches and monasteries atop unique geographical outcroppings. Meteora for instance is amazing plus the church paintings depict interesting scenes of a major flood… It’s known that many of these relatively modern structures were partially built into caves. In Israel for example a church was built over a cave considered by orthodox Greeks as the first gathering place for the Jewish-Christian sect. There’s no doubt ancient pre Greek architects would’ve utilized the cover and proximity. Cheers

Nice video. I think it makes sense if the giant stones originally were a part of the 4th century Imperial Palace, there were a lot of giant building projects there at the time. There is a cluster there of about 50 large grave mounds dating from the 3rd to the 7th centuries. Today protected as a World Heritage site, earlier many were lost to development as the city grew. The largest of the keyhole-shaped "kofun" is the Daisen Kofun at 525 x 300 m with three moats around it, several others are almost as large. Aerial photos look quite impressive. Daisen Kofun is probably the grave of Emperor Nintoku, we'll probably know for sure as it looks like it will be excavated soon.

How in the world did they move a 130 ton, 11.7 x 5.5 x 0.80 meter (in average) slab without breaking it? A stone of these dimensions needs to be handled very carefully. It must be supported by wooden beams at its full length. It certainly is not impossible but it's a lot of extra work and the risk breaking it still is high. If it's no more than 1700 years old, they didn't only have iron. They had basic steel. They had every tool they needed to efficiently cut and shape stone. There was no need to keep the number of cuts as low as possible because cutting stone was no big problem anymore. Typically, once cutting stones to any desired size and shape is no big deal anymore, transportation is the next factor that people try to get cheap and easy. That's why stones usually got smaller with every improvement of technology. They only got bigger again after industrialization because modern engines make transportation and handling of large concrete parts easier than moulding the structure right at the construction site. For an earthquake proof structure you don't need large blocks. You need interlocking ones of any size. just the way it's visible in the outer walls. Maybe these large blocks are the last remaining parts of an unknown structure that had been there well before the 4th century AD and they had been reworked and repositioned while integrating them into the newer structure. People always appreciated the accomplishments of their ancestors. Just for the same reasons why we still love ancient stuff today. If they inherited large stone blocks from the past, it's quite likely they didn't want to cut them into small blocks. They probably reworked them to make them usable for their purposes while keeping their original size mostly intact.

My God when u see it in real life, it's mind blowing, the walls and these stones r the most impressive thing u will see. U don't understand until u see it with your own eyes. I truly feel we don't understand something about the old world.

A lot of archeological sites in the far east are hidden from public eyes unfortunately, much like the sites in russia. I wish we could study these sites

The octopus: Apparently the body is shown, not the tentacles.
