Shimbamba was a rabbit hole I was not prepared for. This article does a good job talking about it and the etymology and other history of the area. https://japanthis.com/2019/02/06/what-does-shimbamba-mean/
I read the same article and immediately bookmark the site! Dude is my type of nerd! :pepela:
Btw, as a history nerd, it really pisses me off how the walls or ramparts are depicted in, mostly, all media from movies, comics or manga! It's like people in antiquity were retarded! Even if this is a fantasy world, the same principles of defensive warfare should apply!

You mean the ankle-high crenellations? Or, if they actually are proper height, they never actually use them as cover?

Yeah, and the never have moats, tranches, barbicans, water defenses, various traps and various obstacles that would render difficult the acces to the walls in the first place! Not to mention what you have pointed out, the various arrow slitts, machicolation or hoarding, gatehouse or better know as murder holes, etc! https://pin.it/675DLLv

Or they WILL have moats and arrow slits and murder holes at the portcullis/gate, and so on.... and then never use them, because the author just copied the visuals and not the function.
