Fujimi 500201 Rokuon-ji "Kinkaku-ji" 1/100 – Plastic Model Kit

Discover the extraordinary model of one of Japan’s most famous buildings – Fujimi 500201 Rokuon-ji "Kinkaku-ji" in 1/100 scale. This highly detailed plastic model kit allows you to recreate the historic Golden Pavilion, located in Kyoto. Kinkaku-ji is a Buddhist temple whose history dates back to the end of the 14th century—it was built around 1397 as a residence for the shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga. This site quickly gained immense cultural significance, transforming into a temple and becoming an icon of Japanese architecture.

During the Onin War (15th century), Kinkaku-ji was destroyed but was consistently rebuilt and renovated by subsequent generations. Even during World War II, it remained intact, highlighting its exceptional value. Unfortunately, it burned down for the second time in 1950, but by 1955 it had already been reconstructed, now featuring a spectacular roof covered with gold leaf. The building is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, and its model is a unique challenge as well as a beautiful addition for any enthusiast of Far Eastern culture and architecture.
