(2939) Osaka 64: The museum

Nihon_arekore_02968_Osaka_64_Castle_Tiger_and_shachihoko_100_cl

Three of the exhibits in Osaka's castle-museum, life-size replicas of real pieces of the castle: one tiger like those that are on the façade of the top floor, a shachihoko (鯱), the sea-monster that is on the roof ridges and a crest like those that are beneath the shachihoko in the roofs.
