Welcome to the "Hikone Castle" on-line web site!

On public display October 4th through December 4th at the LEGO® Imagination Center at the Downtown Disney® Marketplace, Orlando, Florida.

October 4, 2003 (KK Quah)

Well, I am up this month at the LIC Orlando and I decided to do 2 things differently. First to have a MOC that was more of a story scene and second to use the vertical space a little better.

The caption for the scene is: "Professor Kilroy is too late as Emperor Chang Wu has made an alliance with Ii Naomasa, the lord of Hikone Castle"

Hikone Castle is one of twelve remaining traditional castle keeps and was built by Ii Naomasa an ally of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Shogun of Japan. Naomasa's army was well known and nicknamed the "Red Devils" and used a plain red banner and plain red sashimono as battle standards.

This castle was featured at Brickfest 2003 in August but I did not have the outer gate and the bridge over the moat which was a feature of Hikone-jo.

I hope you enjoy the images...
