This is a 1:150 scale (approx) wooden laser-cut model of the famous Kumamoto Castle
熊本城 in Kumamoto, Japan. It is one of the three most important castles in Japan, and a was built around 1467.
The bear in the photo is called "Kumamon" and is the marketing symbol of the Kumamoto Prefecture. The sign says Kumamoto Castle in Japanese characters.
This kit was built over four evenings in equal share by my wife and myself. It was great to build with someone and share all parts of the build process. Try it with someone you love. We thank our neighbour Miwako N. for the lovely gift from Japan.
