"Nostalgia for Kyoto" Completed Diorama, N Scale (1:150), with figures approximately 1 cm tall Approximate dimensions (including case): Width 230 mm, Depth 133 mm, Height 134 mm About the building: This is essentially a one-of-a-kind, full-scratch-built model made by shaping and painting plastic sheets. (It is not a modified version of a commercially available manufacturer's model kit or diorama.) About the Lighting: Pre-installed LED lighting. Two AA batteries are installed on the back of the unit, so you can turn on the lights while the cover is still in place. Note: Since this is a handmade item, details may vary. Information edited by: Sakatsu Gallery YouTube: "Gion Shirakawa and the Tatsumi Bridge Area in Spring, Featuring Maiko" (Video produced by Sakatsu Gallery) The streets of Kyoto have also begun to change from a light green to a deep green. The season transitions from spring to summer as the Gion Festival takes over from the "Spring Dances" held in Kyoto's representative hanamachi districts (Gion Kobu, Miyagawa-cho, Ponto-cho, and Kamishichiken). We hope you'll enjoy the "laid-back" atmosphere as a maiko, on her way to a private room in the Tatsumi Bridge area where twilight is falling over the Shirakawa River, takes a moment to relax on the bridge with her close friend, an geisha she calls "onee-san."
