Monday saw Mike, James, Jo and I in Gifu park in the pouring rain. We took the cable car up the mountain to visit Gifu castle. The cable car ascended into a white bank of mist. Half-way up and we could see nothing of the famous view. But wondering around old stone pathways and reading about sieges and surrenders it provided the perfect atmosphere for reliving a piece of history. You could feel the danger and the edginess of the unknown.
