Jeez, those are incredible. So much detail in such a contained space, and all framed within beautiful countryside. Takeshi has used is a certain characterisic architecture, which lends itself very well to that size of castle. Takeshi, if you're out (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Do you know, or can you ask Itou, if he deconstructed each model after photographing it, or can they all exist at one time? These are not toys, they are works of art. Aaron Dalan (22 years ago, 9-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hi, Dalan. (...) The former, to my great regret. As you know, It is the way of the world for castles to rise and fall. ;-) (...) His work is temporary but his art is eternal, I guess. Regards Kotaro/EARL-0 (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Eric, This is in reply to your question about waterfalls. I have built a small one (no pictures of it as yet) that I made on a few BURPs. I had two baseplates from the Forestmen's Crosssing and needed something to start the river. So I made a (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hello again, Dalan. (...) Sure, I can have sympathy with you. It may be unbelievable for most of us. But he doesn't feel so much about this "tragedy" as we do. X-0 Incidentally, a half of works in his gallery were "rebuilt to take photographs" with (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I guess for someone as talented as Itou, he can always recreate his work later so it is not a big deal to take it apart. If I were ever to, somehow, make something that wonderful, I would just leave it in place. Aaron Dalan (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle)
