Kanmi-dokoro Kurihara Japanese miniature house: a Japanese-inspired DIY Wagashi confectionery
Create a soft and refined atmosphere in your library with this CUTEBEE “Kanmi-dokoro Kurihara” DIY kit. This self-assembled wooden kit recreates a traditional Japanese shop dedicated to wagashi, those iconic pastries from Japan. Halfway between a model, a miniature house and a decoration item, this Japanese miniature house brings a zen, warm and poetic touch to a shelf, a desk or a reading corner.
This miniature house kit invites you to build a peaceful Japanese scene, nestled in a bamboo grove and courtyard atmosphere. The decor highlights a minimalist layout with stone paths, pines, lanterns and aged wood furniture. Inside, the shelves display traditional wagashi sweets, while the warm light reveals the architectural details and creates an atmosphere conducive to contemplation.
Designed as a real creative hobby, this model offers a relaxing and rewarding assembly experience. The laser-cut wooden pieces ensure precise assembly, with interlocking elements for a clean and neat finish. Step-by-step instructions guide the construction, allowing you to gradually bring to life a detailed miniature model full of character.
Once assembled, this miniature house becomes an original decoration to display among your books or as a standalone scene on a bedside table, a desk or in a display case. Its soft LED lighting with a touch switch allows you to adjust the atmosphere with a simple press, while the dust cover protects the creation over time. It is also a great gift idea for adults, DIY enthusiasts, miniature collectors and lovers of Japanese culture.
Note: AAA batteries and glue are not included.

•Handy tools: tweezers, toothpicks, small flat pliers
Are the kits suitable for beginners?

There are also models classified as "beginner," "intermediate," and "advanced" to choose from according to one's level.
Is this a good gift for someone who has never done DIY before?

The building experience itself is enjoyable and relaxing. Many buyers report having successfully gifted it to friends and family with no DIY experience.
What should I do if the LEDs don't light up after assembly?
Check in the following order:
1. The batteries are new and correctly oriented (+/– polarity)
2. The switch is in the ON position

How long does it take to assemble a kit?
