== Appearance ==
The Castle was set at the base of the Mountain of the Sun Goddess. The building was circular, with a large courtyard in the middle housing an elaborate garden. A statue of Amaterasu stood in the center of the garden, a smaller twin of the one at the Shrine of the Lady Sun. In the morning, blinds were pulled away from half of the courtyard skylight, and large windows on the east side were opened so that those within the castle could track the ascension of Amaterasu through the sky. At noon, with the sun shining directly overhead, the castle's statue of Amaterasu seemed almost to glow. The courtyard was designed specifically for the morning song the Moshi sang each dawn to welcome Amaterasu. The castle's primary protections were its armored shutters and its location on a very steep hill, altogether with the presence of Sun Guardians and Sun Sentinels.
