The build

Samurai Castle is my tribute to Ninja, the 90’s LEGO Castle sub-theme. One of my favorite themes from my childhood.

The castle is a completely modular build that can be divided in 8 detailed sections.

The small tower (Yagura) contains the blacksmith’s forge on the lower level, living quarters for the samurai on the 1^st floor and a small attic with valuables.

The keep (Tenshu) houses a kitchen, the archery range and a small jail cell in the basement. The main entrance on the 1^st floor leads to the throne room, decorated with legendary samurai armor, the golden katana and a mural painting. The floor above has a balcony with stairs to the top level which includes a place for the daimyo to write his letters, a birdcage for carrier pigeons and a small bonsai tree. The secret attic below the roof hides the samurai’s most valuable possession…

Both towers are connected by the gate.

Minifigures

Six minifigures are included in the Samurai Castle: the daimyo, leader of the Fox Warriors and lord of the castle, is accompanied by his 2 trusted samurai. There’s the blacksmith, who makes katanas of the highest quality, and the fisherman and his daughter, who sell the fresh catch at their market stall.
