Hiroshima Castle


 

Hiroshima Castle (???,Hiroshima-j?), sometimes called Carp Castle (??,Rij?) is a castle in Hiroshima, Japan which was the home of the daimy? (feudal lord) of the Hiroshima han (fief). Originally constructed in the 1590s, the castle was destroyed in the atomic bombing in 1945. It was rebuilt in 1958, a replica of the original which now serves as a museum of Hiroshima's history prior to World War II.
