Project start!

Today, June 25th,we started activity of Kishiwada Castle reconstruction project .
We will endeavor as a goal which is
to restore old Kishiwada Castle that was lost in the past with 3D models,
and to revive it by the 3D printer .

Materials collected

First, we look for materials about History of Kishiwada castle and its appearance.
We look for it from valuable materials that are stored in Kishiwada high school,
called Kishikore(岸コレ).

But, materials that we were able to find was sketch of castle town only,
so we couldn’t look for materials about Kishiwada Catsle itself.
So we restart as a new goal which is to pull out descriptions about Kishiwada Castle’s form from materials at our school and to reproduce the old landscape based on it.

Visited Kishiwada Castle

We heard there are materials and models of old Kishiwada Castle in the current castle,
so we decided to visit there.

In the reference room located on the first floor, materials about Okabe family which is kishiwada lord and kishiwada clan are exhibited in there.
We were able to learn about the history of Kishiwada of that era.
Exhibition about Obu ruin were held in the second floor, we were able to see the valuable materials and pottery of the Yayoi-Kofun period. But it isn’t related to our project.
The third floor of the top floor is an observatory, you can overlook the Kishiwada city.
Unfortunately, this day, visibility is poor in the cloudy sky, it was not possible to overlook Kishiwada city. But we were able to overlook quite far.
In addition, model of the old castle town had been exhibited, so we could feel the situation around at that time of the castle.

It became a meaningful visit that we were able to learn many things that we didn’t know.
