Hello! May I ask you if I could use your opening for an art project at university? Obviously, I will quote you in the credits, or I will put the link to your channel/website.

These videos deserve to have at least hundreds of thousands of views. This is so interesting, it's amazing to see the Japanese' dedication to restoring their heritage.

This stone stacking of the castle walls is ingenious and one of the reasons these castles are still standing after hundreds of years of earthquakes.
Having never been in a castle while I lived in Japan, I've got some new destinations in mind for when I visit.
I continue to be amazed at the producers ability to find these experts for Peter Barakan to interview--and gives another great interview here.
