Between 1870 to 1876, a Scotsman named Richard Henry Brunton constructed 26 lighthouses across the coastline of Japan to ensure the safe passage of shipping vessels. RH Burton would later be known as the "Father of Japanese lighthouses" for his accomplishments. The first lighthouse to use a rotating lens to sweep across the expanse of the ocean was Omaezaki Lighthouse which began service on May 1, 1874.To commemorate the lighthouse's 133rd year of operation, Zacca Pap has announced a 1/150 scale recreation of the lighthouse which measures 17.5cm (6.88") tall and houses 5 color LEDs which light up in green, blue, purple, yellow, and red. Preorders ship today and new orders welcome.
