Kinkakuji Temple
Posted at 16:45 EST
Fujimi is a plastic model kit company in Japan. Amongst the usual cars, airplanes, ships and tank kits like everyone else seems to make, Fujimi has an excellent line of temples and castles, in various scales.
One of these is the Kinkakuji Temple in 1/100th scale. (An earlier version is in 1/150th scale with simulated gold on certain parts and is increasingly more difficult to locate due to the new version having just been released.) My homesite's Entrance graphic is of this temple.
Kinkakuji Temple is located in Raku-hoku, the northern district of Kyoto. I have yet to determine if my persona lives in similar or if something more ostentatious is his style.
