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.

How to build the model kit "The Sakura Music Box"

No need to have built a model before: the pieces are laser-cut, the illustrated instructions show every step, and your phone can stay on the table.

  1. Pop out the pieces

    The pieces pop out of the wooden sheets by hand, in the order of the instructions. Nothing to cut, nothing to paint.

  2. Fit together, step by step

    Every step is illustrated. In one sitting or in twenty-minute sessions, at your own pace.

  3. Bring it to life

    Depending on the model: a mechanism to wind up, LEDs to connect, or simply a piece to display on your shelf.

Fine tweezers help with the smallest pieces; the recommended tools are listed on the product page.

Aucun film à bulles ni protection d'angle n'ont été utilisés pour emballer le carton, mais celui-ci est tellement robuste qu'il n'a même pas été abîmé pendant le transport. Tout fonctionne comme prévu, et c'est un excellent cadeau.
