Tanabata Decoration "Fukinagashi"

Tanabata is one of the Asian events that has been held from July to August as a custom since ancient times.

Originating from the legend of the encounter between Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair), this event has been decorated with an amulet called "fukinagasi" with the hope of improving sewing skills.

I thought it would be interesting to be able to assemble the round and beautiful shape of this "fukinagashi" with Lego, so I came up with this set.

This set is made in the form of decorating a kit that reproduces fukinagashi in a bamboo-shaped case.

Fukinagashi also put a lot of effort into the representation of the polka dot spheres at the top and the fluttering ornaments at the bottom, making them look as similar to the real ones as possible.

The bamboo case has been devised to express the texture and smoothness of bamboo as much as possible.

Once this kit is on the market, it will add another fun kit to LEGO Ideas.
