Katōmado Window

This bell-shaped style of window is characteristic of Zen Buddhist temples. The design, known as katōmado, was introduced to Japan from China along with Zen Buddhism in the thirteenth century. Chinese-derived Zen architecture such as katōmado windows soon came to be associated with social status and refinement, and by the sixteenth century, samurai and daimyos were having these windows installed in their castles and residences.

Matsumoto Castle has four katōmado windows: two in the Southeast Wing and two on the fourth floor of the Northwest Tower. Their window sills have internal rain gutters to channel rainwater to the outside when the shutters are closed.

花頭窗

這種鐘形窗戶被稱為「花頭窗」，原本是佛教禪宗寺院的建築特徵，於13世紀隨禪宗一同從中國傳入日本。這一源自中國的禪寺建築元素，不久便成為了體現社會地位以及高雅情趣的標誌。到了16世紀，武士與大名（領主）們已經在自己的城郭與住宅中採用花頭窗設計。

松本城共有四處花頭窗，兩扇位於大天守東南側的辰巳附櫓2樓，兩扇在西北角的乾小天守4樓。這些窗戶的窗台上都開有雨槽，可以在百葉窗關閉時將雨水引向室外。
