Fujimi 50022 - 1/100 Yakushi-ji Higashi-Tou Scale Reproduction

The Fujimi 1/100 Yakushi-ji Temple Higashi-Tou model is crafted to replicate the eastern pagoda's form and proportions, offering a compact study of classical Japanese temple architecture. The kit highlights the profile and timber-like features of the original, appealing to builders who prefer historic subject matter.

Origins and Notable Form

Yakushi-ji traces back to the 7th century and is an important example of early Buddhist temple layout. The Higashi-Tou is famed for its three-tiered composition and balanced wooden structure. This Fujimi kit reproduces these aspects in reduced scale for display and study.

Yes, controlled washes and light drybrushing create a weathered timber look that suits the temple aesthetic; test techniques on spare parts first.
