Panoramic view of a multi-story Japanese castle on a hill overlooking a historical town and a large lake with distant mountains.

A wide panoramic view of Azuchi Castle and its castle town during the late Sengoku period (c. 1580 CE). Azuchi Castle rises dramatically atop Mount Azuchi, its tall multi-story keep decorated with bold colors and gold accents, stone foundations terraced into the hillside. Below the mountain, a planned castle town spreads outward with wooden townhouses, samurai residences, temples, and narrow streets. Lake Biwa glistens nearby, with boats on the water and distant mountains on the horizon. Early modern Japanese architecture, tiled roofs, banners, and winding roads are clearly visible. Clear daylight, expansive scale, cinematic composition, historically accurate, highly detailed. See more
