Angled view of the lantern-lit lane and illustrated red side panel
MAKE A LITTLE JAPANESE LANE

Build the street you would take the long way through.

Put together the façades and shop counter, then add the curtains, lanterns and blossoms. Familiar street details give each stage a clear purpose, until the lane feels ready for its evening visitors.

Shape the narrow street

Balconies, latticed windows and overhanging roofs create a layered view towards the food counter.

Add its small residents

A cat, a dog and an illustrated kimono-clad figure give the shopfront a sense of everyday life.

Enjoy the lantern-lit view

LED lighting brings out the little signs, bottles and blossoms when you switch on the finished scene.
