En överraskande twist på pop-up-boken. Som titeln antyder skapar utfällningen av denna lilla bok i cirkulär form en 360-graders panoramascen med skiktade silhuetter. Här avslöjas Fuji i all sin prakt, omgiven av slingrande moln och en glödande rund sol, med graciösa rödkronade tranor som landar på dess sluttningar. Skapad av arkitekten Yusuke Oono.
The layered silhouettes catch the light beautifully when you rotate it slowly, and the circular fold is sturdier than I expected for something this delicate. I've already got it perched on my shelf where the 360-degree view actually makes it look like a tiny architectural model.
The moment I closed the circle and the final layer clicked into place, it felt like holding a tiny piece of Japan in my hands. The layered silhouettes create such a deep sense of depth, and I keep unfolding it just to watch the panorama snap together again.
I’d seen pop-ups before, but the way these layered silhouettes build into a full circular scene around Fuji is genuinely clever. The paper has a nice weight to it too, so the whole thing stands firm once you’ve got it arranged.
