Tools and materials

Nikko  Toshogu  is  a  shrine  in  Nikko  City,  Tochigi  Prefecture.  It  was  designated  as  a  World 

Heritage Site in 1999.

"Yomeimon",  a  gate  that  is  the  most  well-known  section  of  Nikko  Toshogu,  is  adorned  with 

approximately 500 engravings and richly-colored decorations representing the stylishness of 

the Edo culture. It is also called "Higurashimon", meaning "gate of sundown", because of its 

sophistication and splendor that continue to take your breath away even after gazing at it all 

day long. 

    Parts sheet  (Pattern) : Twenty-two A4 sheets

    No. of Parts : 411 parts

    Assembly Instructions : Sixteen A4 sheets

 

* Build the model by carefully reading the Assembly Instructions, in the parts sheet page order.  

 

Hint

*This model was designed for Papercraft and may differ from the original in some respects. 

*In this picture, the edges of the completed model have been touched up with paint.

Valley fold

Make a valley fold.

Scissors line (solid line)

Cut along the line.

Cut In Line (solid line)

Cut along the line.

Write down the number on the back of each part as you cut them out.

Since many of the parts are complicated and very small, do a trial assembly before  actually 

attaching them together.

The finished piece will look more realistic if you paint the edges of the parts with colors similar 

to the parts.
