Complete set of 20 volumes of Nihon Jyokaku Taikei (Comprehensive Japanese Castles)

Very useful for preliminary research when visiting castle ruins, including mountain castles.

Overview:
Written by castle researchers and historians from each region, it basically covers castles, forts, and residences throughout Japan.
It is now out of print, and although progress is being made on individual castles and regional history due to the discovery of new materials and the implementation of excavation surveys, no systematic compilation of castle books has been published since, and it is a document that has had a great influence on subsequent basic research.

Volume 1: Hokkaido, Okinawa
Volume 2: Aomori, Iwate, Akita
Volume 3: Yamagata, Miyagi, Fukushima
Volume 4: Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma
