hikaegui　控杭

KEY WORD :　architecture / castles

Any upright pole or post added to the inside of a castle wall for extra support. While hikaegui increased the strength of the wall, they did make it more difficult to move around close to the wall on the interior because the light was dim and people could easily fall against these protections.
