Fujimi 500232 Kofuku-ji Go-jyu-no-toh (Five-Story Pagoda) 1/100

The Fujimi 500232 Kofuku-ji Go-jyu-no-toh model is a unique 1/100 scale plastic assembly kit that recreates with remarkable precision the famous five-story Buddhist pagoda from the To-Ji temple complex in Japan. This outstanding model is an exceptionally faithful replica of the original, whose history spans hundreds of years. The current form of the pagoda dates back to 1643 and stands at an impressive height of 54.8 meters, making it the tallest wooden structure in Japan as well as one of the most important cultural and architectural symbols of the Edo period.

The Go-jyu-no-toh Pagoda represents the pinnacle of Japanese building craftsmanship and has been recognized as a National Treasure of Japan since 1952. The structure has survived numerous destructions, and the current construction was erected for the fifth time since the temple's foundation at the turn of the 8th and 9th centuries. The entire To-Ji complex in Kyoto served not only as a place of Buddhist worship, but also as an administrative and educational center that dominated during the Edo era (17th–19th century).
