The original Iwakuni Kintaikyo bridge was built in 1673 the bye order of yoshikawa Hiroyoshi, the third lord of Iwakuni, which was lost by the typhoon in 1950. It was rebuilt using the original plans and engineering standards. It is one of three bridges Japan considers a national treasure. It was built on the opposite bank from the castle and only samurai were allowed to cross the bridge. I wanted images that were not totally common, I don't know if I succeeded or not but it was fun making the images.
