Fujimi 50022 - Detailed 1/100 Yakushi-ji Higashi-Tou Model

The Fujimi 1/100 Yakushi-ji Temple Higashi-Tou model kit gives model builders a chance to reproduce a classic example of traditional Japanese temple architecture. The kit focuses on the eastern pagoda of Yakushi-ji, capturing the layered rooflines and timber work that define this important cultural structure. Its historical roots and architectural features make it a rewarding subject for careful assembly and display.

Heritage and Architectural Detail

Yakushi-ji dates back to the 7th century and is recognised for its contribution to Buddhist architecture. The Higashi-Tou, the east pagoda, is noted for its three-tiered silhouette and finely proportioned wooden design. Fujimi's 1/100 rendition aims to reflect those characteristic elements so modellers can study and present a faithful miniature of the original pagoda.

Assembly Experience and Display Value

Targeted at hobbyists who enjoy architectural kits, the 1/100 scale parts demand patience and precise gluing to achieve clean joins. Once completed, the model makes a strong display piece for a shelf or diorama, complementing other historical or scale architecture collections with its realistic profile.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/100
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Dimensions: Height approximates real-world structure
  • Paint: Suggested for enhanced realism
This kit is best for intermediate modellers; the small, detailed parts and required precision mean beginners may find it challenging without prior experience.
No specialised electronics are needed, but fine brushes, model glue, and acrylic or enamel paints suited to plastic models will improve realism. Weathering powders can add authentic wood tones.
Assembly time varies with experience; expect several evenings to a couple of weekends for careful cutting, test fitting and painting to reach a display-quality finish.
