About Osaka Castle
Constructed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1583-1586). Burned down during the Summer Siege of Osaka.
The Tokugawa family took over power, and the second shogun, Hidetada, rebuilt it (1629).
The current castle is a high-rise building with 5 floors and 8 floors made of steel-framed reinforced concrete, and was rebuilt (1931) with donations from the citizens of Osaka.
The first in the mini castle tower series. 1/400 Osaka Castle
This kit models Osaka Castle at 1/400 scale. Although compact, the characteristics of Osaka Castle are reproduced in detail with wooden laser-cut parts with high dimensional accuracy. Additional work has been eliminated as much as possible, allowing for smooth assembly.
The gables and gold decorations on the upper floors are made of brass etched parts, the gold-painted shachihoko (roof ornament), and the stone walls of the castle tower base are made of rare wood called Jindai wood. It reproduces the gorgeous and stately appearance of a real castle.
