You have certainly led me to many models that I thought I had lost forever.


And some new ones. Thank you

First off, let me apologize, the plans are from Taiwan, not Japan, and this is not really a paper model, but a DIY cardboard kit that you can buy or use the plans to make your own Pachigo (pinball) game, which I assume is similar to a Japanese Pachinko, only different.
Pictures of the Pachigo built from the kit are here, along with order information

To make a Pachigo you will need lots of corrugated cardboard sheets, a die, a spoon, dowels, marbles and a few other bits and pieces. I could not find the rules so don't know why a pin ball game needs another randomizer (the die).

According to the designer this will save the environment and

"can allow parent-child interaction, promote the use of hands and brain, and increase culture. The traditional understanding ... is a children's play with positive energy."
