Wakimura was founded in 1971 in Osaka, Japan by a passionate model enthusiast, Koji Wakimura. Koji started the brand in a modest workshop, handcrafting miniature cars with astounding detail and precision. As more and more collectors witnessed the exquisite craftsmanship of Wakimura's creations, the brand quickly garnered significant attention in the world of hobbyists and collectors. In 1986, the brand expanded its product range to include miniature models of historical architecture which yet again left its audience in awe. An interesting fact for the collectors: Wakimura's miniature model of the ancient Himeji Castle is considered as one of the crown jewels of their collection!
