The product is modeled after the pit-dwelling and the elevated-floor warehouse at the Toro Ruins, a National Special Historic Site located in Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture. *Note: There are various theories regarding the shapes of the dwelling and warehouse, and they differ from their current reconstructed forms. Stilted Warehouse This kit allows you to recreate an eight-post stilted warehouse featuring chigi (gable finials) on the roof. The undulations of the thatched roof and the wood grain patterns on the walls are reproduced through engraving. The “rat guards”?a characteristic feature of stilted warehouses?are integrated into the warehouse floor component. Dwelling The interior pillars and framework, along with the thatched walls and roof sections, are separate parts, allowing the internal structure of the dwelling to be clearly seen. The hearth, believed to have been located in the center of the earthen floor, is recreated via engraving on the floor part. The undulations of the thatched walls and roof are recreated through engraving. The roof and walls at the entrance are separate parts. A display plate part engraved with the characters for “Toro Ruins” is also included on the sprue. The molded color of the warehouse, dwelling, and display plate parts has been changed from the conventional gray to light brown.
