A vintage souvenir miniature replica of Nagoya Castle (名古屋城), crafted in a dazzling gold-tone finish. The model beautifully captures the architectural elegance of the original Japanese castle, with its iconic tiered roofs, ornate gables, and stone foundation base.
The front of the base features a small plaque with the inscription 名古屋城 (Nagoya-jō) in bold calligraphy, marking it unmistakably as a keepsake from one of Japan’s most historically significant landmarks.
Nagoya Castle, originally built in the early Edo period (1612), is famous for its golden shachihoko—mythical tiger-headed carp—perched on the rooftop. This golden souvenir echoes that grandeur and is a popular omiyage (travel gift) purchased by visitors to the castle or the city of Nagoya.
Compact yet ornate, this piece serves as a nostalgic memento or decorative collectible, reflecting both the rich heritage and striking aesthetics of traditional Japanese castle architecture.
