Samurai Castle

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 upper floor and a small attic with valuables.

The keep (Tenshu) houses a kitchen, the archery range and a jail cell in the basement. The main entrance 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 messages, a birdcage for carrier pigeons and a small bonsai tree. The secret attic below the roof hides the samurai’s most valuable possession…

8 minifigures are included in the Samurai Castle: the daimyo, the lord of the castle, is accompanied by his 2 trusted samurai. There’s the princess and a blacksmith, who makes katanas of the highest quality. Around the castle you can also find the fisherman and his daughter, who sell the fresh catch at their market stall. The last minifigure is harder to spot: a sneaky ninja who's out to steal the daimyo's treasure.
