Hirosaki castle shifted using traditional ropes, rollers and human power
In a remarkable display of engineering and tradition, residents in Japan's Aomori Prefecture helped move part of the historic Hirosaki Castle using the centuries-old Hikiya method. Participants used ropes, wooden rollers and coordinated pulling to shift a 360-tonne structure by around two metres. The event highlighted a traditional Japanese relocation technique once used to move large wooden buildings without dismantling them.
