	EALRGA Newsletter 961101
		Nagoya is usually regarded as a useful station along the Bullet Train (Shinkansen) line for travelling north to the mountain country or south to Ise, but otherwise a modern industrial city, a "cultural desert" with little to recommend it.
		The castle was built at the command of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Tokugawa shogun, at the very beginning of the Edo period, in the early seventeenth century, and was given to his ninth son, Tokugawa Yoshinao (1600-1650), when he was made lord of the fief of Owari, the area surrounding modern Nagoya.
		Nagoya Castle, historical fortress of the Owari-Tokugawa clan, was destroyed, along with most of the surrounding city, in World War II, so the present structure is one of those sterile ferro-concrete reconstructions which give only a general impression of an old caste from the outside and completely disappoint the purist from the inside.
