Found through my favorite papercraft blog Paper Forest, this site has some great examples of Edo-era (1603-1867) papercrafts that you can download and assemble yourself.
The 8 scenes available for download represent various Japanese port cities: Kobe, Ama, Sakai, Osaka, Wakayama, Maizuru, Hidaka, and Shimozu.
I’m definitely going to make these the first chance I get, but they’re as beautiful to look at on paper as they are constructed. If your Japanese is a little rusty, the links next to the red box are Hi-res and Lo-res versions of the pieces, and the links next to the blue box are instructions.
Enjoy!
