About the Kit
This kit was meticulously designed based on historical evidence from the era, drawing reference from the 1/10 scale exhibition model at the Saga Prefectural Nagoya Castle Museum and the Atakebune depicted on the historic Hizen Nagoya Castle Ruins folding screen.
The model beautifully reproduces the grand castle-like superstructure and the massive hull characteristic of the "Ise-bune" style—a legendary wooden warship design that holds a prominent place in Japanese naval history. It also features 64 replicated Ro (traditional Japanese sculling oars). Unlike Western oars, the Ro is a unique propulsion device capable of generating powerful thrust within a remarkably compact range of motion.
Crafted generously from high-quality natural wood, this kit allows you to bring the Atakebune to life with stunning realism. The moment you open the box, you will be greeted by the refreshing, aromatic scent of natural timber.
The kit consists primarily of high-precision, laser-cut and finely machined wooden components, complemented by metal parts for the anchors and shachihoko (mythical tiger-headed carps). The building process is fully supported by an easy-to-follow assembly manual filled with clear photos and diagrams.
