 ===== Prologue =====
 <WRAP box round 90%%>
-The publication of Mr. **Kazu Fukuda’s** work on this site stems from our personal exchanges during his lifetime.
-What began as a plan to showcase only his *completed solid models* gradually evolved,
-as we both recognized the historical value of documenting his **work-in-progress** stages as well.
-Mr. Fukuda’s methods—his choice of materials, precision in shaping, and meticulous finishing—embody the
-craftsmanship and analytical mindset that define Japan’s postwar solid modeling culture.
-This archive aims to preserve not only his techniques but also the spirit of his disciplined creativity.

-===== Modeling History (Self-Introduction) =====
+===== Introduction =====
-Around 1954, I purchased my first kit in a vinyl bag and built my first solid model. Since then, I have been captivated by the joy of model making and have continued for over fifty years. In 1965, I joined the Osaka Solid Model Club “Saiun Association,” and from that time on I have devoted myself exclusively to German Luftwaffe aircraft. Every model is built to a consistent 1/50 scale. I was determined to keep producing as many Luftwaffe aircraft as possible—as long as my physical strength, mental focus, and eyesight would allow.\\
+**Yasuichi Takami — The Quiet Craftsman Who Sustained Postwar Model Culture**\\
+Yasuichi Takami was a master cabinetmaker whose solid models embodied precision, restraint, and enduring elegance. Favoring naval aviation subjects, he produced numerous works depicting aircraft of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Readers came to recognize his models by their crisp lines, well-judged proportions, and softly evocative presence—qualities that distinguished his output and quietly influenced many peers.\\
+Across leading aviation magazines, his build photographs and step-by-step articles engaged both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts, offering clear craft logic rather than showmanship. Within the community, his unassuming demeanor and gentle Osaka inflection were remembered as part of his appeal. The body of work he left behind continues to serve as a reference point for postwar Japanese solid-modeling practice.\\
+*In the next installment, we will introduce a magazine-published article on his solid-model construction.*\\
