Green leaves and drooping branches screen a view looking up at a corner of Edo Castle, in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward. In the foreground, the castle moat reflects the impressive, solid-looking stone foundations of the castle; above, the white walls of the castle shine in the summer sun. The sky overhead is blue and cloudless.
