Tatebanko is the forgotten Japanese art of creating amazing dioramas and scenic perspectives from paper. Tatebanko was popular and widely admired from the 17th century Edo period to the early 20th century. Then it all but disappeared until now.

Revived and reinterpreted in this simple and elegant Japanese art, choose from these three craft kits: Hokusai’s The Great Wave, Hiroshige's Evening Snow and latest addition, Mt. Fuji. The Mt. Fuji is double sided so you can enjoy 2 different scenes from the front and back. 

Beautifully designed and printed in Japan with elegant metallic accents, the kits are packaged flat. Each kit has a playful secret and interesting details that make assembly fun. With these kits, Tatebanko will undoubtedly enjoy a well-deserved renaissance.
