The Hidden Gate
Deep in the forests of Japan, a gate lies hidden. Forgotten for generations, it has stayed here for hundreds of years, not touched by a single soul. Vines and moss now cover the place where people used to come.
This model contains many things from Japan (and also things from my imagination too!) There is a stone guardian lion statue (komainu), a traditional stone lantern (tōrō), and of course the torii gate. I wanted my build to look natural, so I didn't make a 'clean' design. I guess that this model could be used as a display piece and a playset too.
Everything fits into the book, and I did make a few minor changes to the original pop-up book: some minor colour changes and also the addition of two 1x2x1 wall panels (piece ID 23969) on each cover in order to fit the katana piece into the book.
I hope you like my build and also happy new year everyone!
