The Nippon Maru, just like the Kaiwo Maru, was designed in Leith, Scotland. She was launched on January 27, 1930. Both ships served as training ships in the Pacific for the Japanese Ministry of Education.
The Nippon Maru visited the United States four times and Hawaii five times. During the Second World War she was stripped of her rigging except for the masts and operated under motor power as a cargo ship for the Ministry of Posts within Japanese waters. After the war she was used for 29 repatriation voyages for Japanese citizens. From 1952 to 1984 she again served as a sailing training ship, including routes to the USA, before being replaced by the Nippon Maru II.
Since April 28, 1984, she has been displayed as a public museum ship in Yokohama in a flooded dry dock.

The ship model shown is a scale replica of the Nippon Maru.
This model was made 100% by hand and with precision using traditional plank-on-frame construction with hull planking.
Among other things, exotic fine woods such as teak, mahogany, rosewood or mango are used, resulting in a valuable and decorative premium model as the finished product.
After completion, the hull is carefully sanded and painted where intended. The model is then coated with a protective clear varnish.
Ornaments and decorations (e.g. cannons, portholes, anchors, dials and wheels …) are made of brass, chrome or other high-quality metals.
The sails are made of fabric or silk, the masts of wood and the rigging of strong cotton threads. Some of these ropes have special knots that allow the ropes to be retensioned at any time.
Our models undergo strict quality control so that we can offer you a flawless product. Customer satisfaction is our highest priority. All models are delivered fully assembled.
