Fujimi 500546 Rokuon-ji "Kinkaku-ji" Brown Roof version 1/100 – plastic model kit

Discover an exceptional model kit depicting the famous Japanese temple Rokuon-ji, more widely known as "Kinkaku-ji" or the Golden Pavilion. The Fujimi 500546 1/100 scale faithfully replicates the original 19th-century architecture of this Buddhist temple complex located in Kyoto. This precise miniature is based on the well-known version with the brown roof, presenting the historic look of the temple before modern renovations.

Kinkaku-ji was erected at the end of the 14th century on the order of Shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga as a private residence. After his death, it was converted into a place of Buddhist worship, becoming a symbol of the Muromachi period and the spiritual heritage of Japan. It survived many historical upheavals – from the devastation of the Onin War (15th century), through various reconstructions, to the infamous fire in 1950 caused by a monk. The Golden Pavilion was rebuilt in 1955, and more than three decades later its roof was adorned with gold leaf. The temple is now one of the icons of Japanese culture, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting millions of tourists from all over the world each year.
