When I was in Tokyo I visited a toy store with little wood and paper model kits, and picked one up for a little over $10. With too much time at home due to COVID, I decided to finally build it. It involved Google translate, staining wooden dowels the size of matchsticks, and a lot of careful cutting…
I think my favorite part was that I couldn’t find the bench pieces anywhere, only to discover the bench is supposed to be made from a pair of disposable chopsticks.
