Traditionally, a mikoshi is a vehicle used to transport a god from his temple or shrine. Decorated mikoshi, carried by many men, can commonly be seen during seaonsal festivals everywhere in Japan. The crimson colored body is gorgeously-decorated with many shiny golden metal parts and beautifully-colored laces. On top of the roof, the sacred phoenix is located. Doyusha presents this model with lots of gold plated plastic parts, actual bells and beautiful laces. This set has a black roof and royal purple laces. The kit also comes with a plastic case, black plastic base and transparent hood. Some harnessing skill will be required. A good accent for your interior.
