A tram gliding beneath the cherry trees, with music and light.
Inside a pink case shaped like a retro TV set, a tram rolls down a lane of cherry trees in bloom while petals seem to drift down. The scene moves, lights up and plays two melodies. About four hours of glue-free building, for a 36 cm tall piece that lives on your desk.
A mechanical wooden model kit that moves, lights up and plays
The parts fit together without glue, in about four hours. Once built, the tram travels along the lane of cherry trees, the petals drift, and two lights blend together: amber spotlights on the blossoms, white light on the clouds. Two separate buttons control the light and the music. Everything plugs in with a USB-C cable.
Who's it for? A Japan lover who wants more than a still scene. A desk night light that plays music. A gift that steals the show once it's switched on.
Assembled dimensions: 24.3 × 18.5 cm footprint, 36 cm tall.
