Nothing calls up an evening sea breeze like the sweeping glow of a lighthouse. Now with the Japan Lighthouse series, you can enjoy that cliff side view without the hike. These desktop versions of real Japanese lighthouses are recreated in startling detail to appeal to collectors and new fans alike.
On offer here is the Omaezaki Lighthouse, the country’s first to employ a rotating flash lens. In honor of this historical innovation, the 1/150 scale model plays up its illuminating capacity in five different interchangeable, brilliant colors.
The original Omaezaki Lighthouse, designed in 1872 under the direction of Englishman Richard Henry Branton and erected in 1874, still exists today on the Shizuoka Coast as a much-loved tourist site.
