No.101 Myths and Legends of Japan
Good news for design office staff who pull off all-nighters!! Myths and Legends of Japan, the 101st installment of the pre-cut Architectural Model Series has arrived. Simply detach and assemble.
A 1/100 scale portrayal of Kojiki and Nihonsyoki, the Japanese 'Record of Ancient Matters,' spanning the period from Tenson Korin (descending of gods from heaven) to the pacification of Yamato by Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan.
From asking for a beautiful lady's hand in marriage and getting their not-so-beautiful older sister thrown into the deal, to wells at the bottom of the ocean and discovering your wife was actually a shark, Japanese mythology is rich and varied and filled with bizarre twists.
The layout of parts displays the genealogy of the gods.
The simple modeling which omits fine details is highly versatile and accentuates the sense of scale.
