Introducing The Rolife Falling Sakura DIY Book Nook Shelf Insert Kit

3 min read By

The growing popularity of book nooks and DIY craft kits means greater demand for the very best scenes to transform bookcases into magical wonderlands. The latest model from Rolife is one of the best yet. The Falling Sakura Book Nook transports us deep into the heart of the most romantic Japanese scene.

 

Falling Sakura: The DIY Book Nook That Tells A Beautifully Romantic Story

The theme of this book nook shelf insert is the visual delight of soft falling blossoms on a traditional Japanese street. The dreamlike scene looks like something from a fairy tale. As with all the best book nook kits, you can build a 3D scene that encourages the eye to wander down an inviting landscape. Here, the paving stones, water, and rooftops are covered in the little pink five-petaled blossoms to capture that magic of this season.

In the middle of the scene is a young girl, with the cute features of a cute Nanci figure doll. She has a matching pink dress and bunny ears and reaches up to smell the blossom. If you close your eyes you can imagine what that must smell like.

 

The Attention To Detail Keeps Viewers Engaged For A Long Time

This is the sort of 3D decoration where you can get lost in the fine details and always spot something new. This is great fun when building the model as you can take your time to place all the pieces together with love and care. This includes the corrugated roof tiles for the buildings, the lanterns that appear to be swaying in the breeze, and all those tiny little flowers. The end result is sure to impress any visitors browsing your bookshelf.

The finishing touch that really sets this model apart from other decorative ornaments, however, is the lighting. Many Rolife models use LED lights with a warm glow to add depth and character to the scene. This one is especially clever as the light fits into the moon and casts soft moonlight into the scene. This then reflects on the water for a more magical look.

 

The New Falling Sakura Book Nook Complements The Sakura Densya Model Perfectly

This isn't the first Japanese-themed book nook kit in the Rolife collection. There is also the Sakura Densya book nook that has a similar color scheme and decorative features. There, you can follow the journey down Tokyo street towards a cute train station. The pretty green and white carriage looks inviting under the intricate pink blossom of the tree above.

The two models would look great as a pair on a bookshelf, adding symmetry to a display with your favorite Japanese literature or manga volumes in between. They are the perfect modern alternative to bookends because of their 3D structure and engaging designs. Plus, you get the added benefit of the fun of building the scenes yourself.

Whether you go for a pair of these Japanese-style book nook shelf inserts or want this Falling Sakura model to speak for itself, you are sure to fall in love with this scene.
