Assembly Instructions

Follow the steps below carefully to assemble your Inari Shrine model. Refer to the included printed instructions for detailed diagrams. It is recommended to sort blocks by color and shape before beginning.

1. Prepare the Base: Begin by laying out the green baseplate. This will be the foundation for your shrine.
2. Construct the Pathway and First Torii Gate:

   Assemble the white and light grey blocks to form the central pathway leading to the shrine. Then, construct the first large red torii gate at the entrance of the pathway using red and black blocks. Ensure it is securely attached to the baseplate.

3. Build the Foliage: Use various shades of green blocks to create the surrounding trees and bushes. Place them strategically around the pathway and future shrine location to mimic natural landscaping.
4. Assemble the Red Torii Gate Tunnel:

   Proceed to build the series of smaller red torii gates that form the iconic tunnel leading up the hill. These will be stacked vertically, creating a sense of depth and perspective. Pay close attention to the alignment of each gate.
