3D Star Chart Craft Kit 88

We've received many inquiries about the "3D Star Chart Craft Kit." Mitsuo Kanai also discovered it and wrote a review. Thank you very much.

From Mitsuo Kanai's Review

A rare book discovered in the science book section of a certain famous bookstore at Shinjuku West Exit. Or rather, a kit. While it's quite conscious of being for kids, this is a dignified adult item. It's almost impossible for elementary school lower grades with virtually no spatial recognition to understand. However, for adults who absolutely need spatial recognition of the universe, this is an extremely useful kit. At the reasonable price of 1,200 yen (before tax), I immediately went home and assembled it. Completed in about ten minutes. (omitted) The authors are probably planning to produce and sell Orion, other constellations, and the Hyades cluster in the future, but I would like to imagine this kit, which may seem niche at first glance, lining the shelves of many bookstores.

About Series Development

As indicated by "3D Star Chart Craft Kit 01," we would of course like to continue with 02, 03... 87, 88, but we won't know until we actually try making them. A major problem has been discovered: when you actually consider the width and depth of each constellation, there are too many differences in the scale of each constellation, making it very difficult to fit them into a consistent size.

So for now, we only have "01 Big Dipper," but we would like to gradually increase the lineup, so please wait a bit for the sequels.
