This product is intended for advanced modelers and has a relatively high level of difficulty.
This product is made primarily by laser-cutting and engraving thick paper.
Due to the nature of laser processing, warping or unevenness may occur.
A design knife or art knife is useful for removing parts from the sheets.
Wood glue is recommended for assembly.
Some parts are very small, so please use tweezers.
As this product is made of paper, it can easily bend or break. Handle with care.
This product is not intended for children.
There is a risk of accidental ingestion. Store out of reach of small children.
Note: The photo shows an assembled example. Some additional painting has been applied, and the model is shown combined with a separate product.

We have recreated a gassho-zukuri house from Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture at a scale of 1/150.
Although it is quite large compared to a typical residence, this model is considered a medium-sized gassho-zukuri house.
We used Mino washi (machine-made) paper from Gifu Prefecture for the thatched roof and shoji screens to capture their authentic texture.
By installing a light bulb inside, you can create a realistic glow.
(Bulbs and other lighting equipment are not included.)
