Ooooh man - the Sappari Castle *sigh*. This brings back so many memories for me, since this castle reminds me so much of the Osaka Castle which we visited on our first trip to Japan in 2007! Dan just nailed the design, the mood, the history, the old rock foundation, and everything about it SO perfectly with this incredible murine!!! Add one of these to the collection and travel to Japan with us! And if you want to add THE BEST to the collection, then this is THE ONE right here - Dan's incredible revolving design, where the Japanese countryside and castles wrap all the way around this marble in 360 degree fashion! The fumed core of this piece is beyond brilliant, and then you have a full scene laid on top, with two castles, flowers everywhere, and two moons - an opal crescent, and an Erik Anders UV special moon. Plus, there's an even sweeter bonus - it was hard to capture in the pics of course, but there are actually THREE layers of flowers there, so in hand, you get this killer sweet depth to the whole flowered design! SO amazing in hand!! Aaaaand, don't forget the UV core as well, so it lights up like a Japanese Fukushima Christmas tree when you hit it with the black light! This is one of Dan's best ever, and ultimate masterpiece, fit for the greatest of collections in the world!
