Description

Himeji Castle, a national treasure, is an echelon-style flat mountain castle built over nine years from 1601 on top of Himeyama (altitude 46m) by Terumasa Ikeda.

The delicate and beautiful castle, reminiscent of a soaring white heron, is also known as Shirasagi Castle.

It is composed of a five-layered, six-story large castle tower and three-layered smaller towers (East Small Castle, Inui Small Castle, and West Small Castle), and each tower is connected by a double turret.

The main castle tower is a watchtower type building with a double gabled building as its base, and the entire wall is made of white plaster and lacquered baskets, with curved gabled gables, karaoke gables, and houndstooth gables, and lattices are fitted into the windows. A latticework is used under the Karahafu, and firehead windows are used on the west and small inui castle towers.

It was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1993, and is known as the world's most famous chalk castle, both military and artistic.

 

[About the kit]

The popular model Himeji Castle has been completely improved from the assembly structure. A decorative stand was installed and the structure of the castle tower was redesigned. Easy to assemble and assembles accurately.

Ishigaki stone is made from a single piece of Jindai ash wood that is pasted on top of the stone wall pattern on the mount.

The stone walls that were carefully built over time became the impressive castle tower of Himeji Castle.

Precisely processed laser parts improve assembly accuracy.

Detailed parts such as the lattice window and the hanging fish sculpture further bring out the sense of scale.
