The main donjon of the Nagoya Castle complex in autumn, showing the golden dolphins on top of the roof. The golden dolphins symbolised the hope that dolphins, which live in water would protect the castle from fire. The original castle burnt down due to an American bombing raid on Nagoya City in World War two.
