A detailed and rewarding cardboard craft kit recreating the iconic Hikone Castle — one of only 12 original castle towers remaining in Japan and a designated National Treasure. No glue or scissors required; simply insert the pre-cut cardboard parts together to build a beautifully intricate three-dimensional model. A wonderful gift for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, or anyone fascinated by Japan. Made in Japan.

Hikone Castle in Shiga Prefecture was the stronghold of the Ii clan, one of the four great generals of the Tokugawa shogunate. It narrowly escaped demolition during the Meiji era thanks to the intervention of statesman Okuma Shigenobu.
