If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know I have started a samurai skirmish project. As part of this, I’ve been considering what scenery I’ll use to give my wargames table a Japanese touch. Today I ordered some kitset buildings and scenery from Zenit Miniatures in Spain. These are marketed under the tradename Fukei to accompany Zenit’s Kensei samurai game.
The first item I ordered was a small building with raised base and gabled roof. This design is inspired by Japanese feudal architecture and can be part of a military residence, shrine or daimyo’s palace. It comes as a pre-cut PVC kit with resin doors and windows. Note that the figure in this and the following pictures is a Kensei samurai that they put in all their photos for size comparison.
A torii gate is very iconic of Japan. The torii is a traditional Japanese gate that symbolically marks the transition from the profane to the sacred at Shinto shrines.
Of course, no Japanese garden is complete without a little red humpbacked footbridge.
I also got a pack of Japanese gravestones, as I think these could add some Oriental flavour around the little building, or just work as garden ornaments.
Finally, I thought I would try out what the Kensei miniatures look like, and at the same time add at least a single civilian to my Japanese figures. So I’ve ordered the rather charming geisha.
maybe put some building info because thats what im looking for.
Already done, Jennifer. See my subsequent post here:
