Japanese hirajiro castle by arnsteio
Japanese hirajiro castle by arnsteio
How’s this for a first-time contribution to Thingiverse? Arnsteio’s first design shared on Thingiverse is this incredibly intricate and detailed Japanese hirajiro castle.
This is a small Japanese “hirajiro” plains castle from the sengoku period. Bases were simply made of earth so for the castle to survive the vagaries of weather and earth quakes, superstructures had to be light. Hence we see simple walls, small houses and open-work towers. It is meant for use when wargaming, and will be suitable for campaigns in Japan in the 1400s and 1500s – I will use it for the Kawanakajima campaigns.
Awesome work arnsteio! Please keep the models coming!

I have made it for use with 10mm wargaming armies, though it would work equally well for larger or smaller scales. The ashigaru figure I placed in the courtyard for scale is 10mm foot to eye. He is a ripoff of Erik's excellent
bride and groom from thingiverse.com/thing:3495 (and he's based on the bride, no less!).
