MiniArt 16028 SAMURAI 1/16 is a high-quality plastic model figure in 1/16 scale, designed for discerning modelers who value both detail and historical accuracy. This product belongs to the "plastic model kit" category and allows you to create an impressive replica of a valiant samurai from the Japanese feudal era—fascinating history and Japanese culture enthusiasts worldwide.

The depicted figure accurately reproduces a samurai—the member of the elite warrior class who existed in Japan from the Heian period (794–1185) until the end of the Edo era (1868). Samurai played a pivotal role in the history of the Land of the Rising Sun: they fought in numerous internal conflicts, such as the Genpei Wars and the Sengoku period, shaping Japanese culture and customs for hundreds of years. The model showcases classic elements of armament, including lamellar plate armor, a richly decorated kabuto helmet, and a traditional katana sword. It will be perfect as an addition to dioramas set in medieval and early modern Japan.
