Fujimi 500218 Yohmei-Mon 1/80 is a unique plastic model kit depicting one of the most beautiful religious buildings in Japan – the Yohmei-Mon Gate from the Nikko Tosho-gu temple complex. The model in a unique 1/80 scale allows you to accurately capture the architectural details that have made this Japanese landmark a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Nikko Tosho-gu complex, located in Nikko city in Tochigi prefecture on the island of Honshu, was established in 1617 at the initiative of the Tokugawa clan – one of the most famous families of Japan's Edo period. The Yohmei-Mon Gate, also known as the Gate of Sunlight (or Higurashi-no-mon), is considered a masterpiece of early 17th-century Japanese architecture. Adorned with gold and rich ornamentation, it was a symbol of the Tokugawa clan's prestige and religious significance. The original structure illuminates the entrance plaza by reflecting daylight, making it one of the most striking features of the temple complex.
