Nagoya Castle was commissioned by Tokugawa Ieyasu just after consolidating his authority, serving as the center of Owari Province and standing as one of the pillars of Japanese castle architecture of that era. For nearly 250 years, it was the residence of a significant branch of the Tokugawa family, until the fall of the shogunate. The castle survived centuries almost untouched until it was bombed during World War II, when it was completely destroyed by fire. Rebuilt in 1959, today it is a symbol of Nagoya and a national gem of Japanese architecture. The Fujimi model accurately presents characteristic elements such as the tenshu (main castle keep), intricate roofs, turrets, and period-authentic architectural details.
Thanks to the large number of precision parts and realistic proportions, this product is especially recommended for modelers with intermediate and advanced experience who appreciate Asian sacred and military architecture.
