Japanese Builds

Japanese builds live and die by their roofs: curved, layered tiers that shrink as the pagoda rises, faked on the grid with stairs, slabs and trapdoors. That curvature is the hardest part to freehand and the first thing a schematic gets right for you.

The style's vocabulary goes well beyond the pagoda: torii gates in red-orange acacia, tea houses, shrines, zen gardens with raked sand and stone, koi ponds and lantern-lit paths. The palette leans on spruce and dark oak against white walls, with deepslate roofs, bamboo, and, since the 1.20 cherry groves, sakura builds in cherry wood.
