{"product_id":"nostalgic-corner-shop","title":"Nostalgic Corner Shop","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"hn-product-description-story\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNostalgic Corner Shop: a Japanese miniature shop to build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA wider kind of DIY book nook\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNostalgic Corner Shop is a DIY book nook kit that recreates a Japanese neighborhood sweet shop in a wide, horizontal format. Inspired by Showa-era storefronts, it combines brown framing, a green-and-white striped awning and windows on two sides. The finished miniature sits alongside books or stands on its own as a small shop diorama. It is an assembly project for makers who enjoy Japanese street scenes, miniature interiors and shelves full of tiny things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOpen the doors and look inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the front and side doors slide open, giving you different views into the room. The entrance is framed by printed signs, hanging snack packets and a blue shaved-ice banner. Two little windbell decorations hang beside the green shop lamp, with a red capsule-machine model and small baskets below. These details give the exterior a familiar corner-store character before you even look at what is on the counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA candy counter with a place for every treat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, compartmented display trays hold miniature sweets, while jars, lollipops and printed packages fill the counter and shelves. A white lucky cat sits among the colorful goods. The shelving behind it adds tiny bottles, cups and snack boxes, each bringing another shape or color to the room. The candy and groceries are decorative model pieces: their small labels, containers and arrangements are part of the miniature-making experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA reading corner behind the shopfront\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook beyond the sweet counter for a green rack filled with little magazines and illustrated covers. An open book rests on a small table nearby. A red telephone model, green fan decoration, wall calendar and printed notices build up the feeling of a shop used every day. Creating the fittings and arranging these details makes the interior as much a part of the project as the outer structure. There are several separate areas to work on and enjoy once assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTake your time, then find it a place\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 225-piece model uses board and paper components and has an estimated assembly time of about 11 hours. Plan several evenings or a weekend with room for breaks; your pace will depend on your experience and the time spent on finishing details. Warm built-in lighting makes the completed storefront visible in an evening display. At approximately 24.6 cm wide, 15.9 cm deep and 18.7 cm high, it needs a wider shelf space than a narrow book nook. The unassembled kit also makes a thoughtful project gift for someone who enjoys crafting miniature shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: TGE05 Nostalgic Corner Shop;
