« Si vous n'aimez pas tout découper et coller, c'est un excellent coin de lecture. il vous suffit de tout coller, rien à découper. Je pense que je passe environ 6/7 heures à réaliser celui-ci au lieu de 16 heures avec les autres. C'est moins cher ici qu'ailleurs. »
A tram running along the river beneath the cherry trees, and a mirror that stretches the street.
A green tram runs along a river lined with pink cherry trees, passengers at the windows, a white bridge, petals on the water: a Japanese spring to slip between your books. At the back, a mirror doubles the depth of the scene, and an LED lights up with a single touch.
A Japanese book nook to build, with a sense of depth
The 340 pre-cut wooden pieces come together in four to six hours: the canal and its bridge, the facades, the tram and its passengers, then the cherry trees. The mirror at the back reflects the buildings, so the street seems to carry on behind your books. In the evening, one touch on the switch turns the scene into a night light.
Who's it for? A Japan lover who wants a corner of their bookshelf that lights up. A reader of manga or Japanese novels. A gift you build.
Assembled dimensions: 18.5 cm wide, 10 cm deep, 24.2 cm tall.

How does it light up?
With a single touch on the switch, connected to a battery box that runs on 2 AAA batteries (not included). No cable to run through your bookshelf.

Placed at the back of the scene, it reflects the buildings and makes the street seem to go on. That's what gives so much depth to a book nook only 10 cm deep.

Tout comme sur la photo. Il arrive en parfait état et la qualité est incroyable.
Original, non ouvert, arrivé en parfait état, je le recommande à 100%.
Tout est très bien.
pas encore monté, mais les book nook sont géniaux et de bonne qualité
Si vous n'aimez pas tout découper et coller, c'est un excellent coin de lecture. il vous suffit de tout coller, rien à découper.
Je pense que je passe environ 6/7 heures à réaliser celui-ci au lieu de 16 heures avec les autres.
C'est moins cher ici qu'ailleurs.
Très bien. Un peu compliqué à construire, mais ok
Très bien! Résultat impeccable ! J'ai vraiment aimé le faire (cela a pris quelques heures ;) C'était un peu difficile, mais je ne l'appellerais pas difficile, juste beaucoup de petites pièces.
Ma commande est arrivée rapidement et je suis très satisfaite. Je recommanderais certainement (c'est le prix le moins cher du marché !)
