This model is a replica of the armor worn by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the preeminent daimyo, warrior, general, samurai, and politician of the Sengoku period and is regarded as Japan's second "great unifier”.
This Japanese (Toyotomi) Armor Metal Model is assembled from two included 5.25" x 4.3" metal sheets.
Parts can be removed from the metal sheets by hand. However, using a pair of wire cutters is recommended. Tweezers make an ideal tool for bending or twisting the connection tabs to join the dragon parts together. No glue is required.
Kit contains 2 metal sheets and 4 printed instruction sheets.
Difficulty: Moderate
Age Range: 14 years and up
Assembled Size: 4.5" H x 2.1" W x 2" D
Great gift for teens and adults who enjoy visiting the Japanese Gallery in the Robert and Katherine Jacobs Asian Wing of the Detroit Institute of Arts!
