Japanese architecture came in 1576, with the building of Azuchi-jo by Oda Nobunaga,
which saw castle building become very popular. At a first glance appears to be
very roughly built and designed. But, an extreme amount of architectural
precision was taken to construct it, reflecting the Japanese trait of trying to
accomplish good work.
In size, scale and method of construction, the castles had the same
original role. That is, in times of war the castle in both areas was used for
defensive purposes. Both used moats and walls as their main means of defence.
