Away from castles, these small houses made of straw and mud belonged to the most respected peasants: the farmers (Nomin). These farmers used to rent the land of the Daimyô in order to work the land in exchange for money and protection.

Sometimes these houses were occupied by the Ashigaru who became the backbone of all Daimyô armies in the 16th Century, especially after the widespread adoption of the matchlock. Until the 1590’s, an ashigaru was normally a peasant who worked in his home village when not on his lord’s campaigns.

This terrain piece is designed for Kensei but can be used in any other 28mm scale game. Combined with the other elements these can represent a common fishers' and farmers' small village.

Ashigaru House includes a set of individual pre-colored pieces. Some of the pieces come in a PVC/MDF sheet and you will need to cut the connections that fix them to the PVC sheet with an X-acto knife. The use of cyanoacrylate glue or a similar one is recommended to assemble the model. This model comes pre-colored and it is delivered unassembled. Painting is not required.
