Christmas No. 069

This paper model captures a festive Christmas scene featuring a towering Christmas tree, a pair of snowmen, and Santa with a reindeer passing by. At the heart of the scene, a couple interacts in a way that invites playful interpretation. Depending on how the figures are folded and arranged, their exchange can appear as a heartfelt proposal or a comical argument, adding a playful twist to the holiday display.

Designed at a 1/100 scale by renowned architect Terada Naoki, this DIY model draws on architectural modelling techniques, reflecting concepts in miniature form.

Kantō

The Kantō region is densely populated and home to a third of the country's population. It is centred around the nation's vibrant capital – Tokyo, formerly known as Edo, which has been the cultural, economic and political heart of Japan for centuries. Outside this megacity, there are mountains, onsen and ski resorts, magnificent temple complexes and excellent surfing opportunities within easy reach.
