The Anavrin team dedicated over 5 months to design, test, and optimize, resulting in the stunning final product you see now. Our inspiration stems from the architectural marvel, Notoya Ryokan.

The Ginzan Onsen Bathhouse
The 'Moving' Water Pipes
Our Second Motion Scene Book Nook
The Ginzan Onsen is our second motion scene masterpiece. We have went through many iterations and improvements to come up with the most simplistic way anyone can build a book nook with a motion scene in it. With thorough planning and thought process, we have managed to architect the most efficient way to implement the motion film in the motor, depicting a moving dinning scene as well as alternating water pipes in the Japanese building.
First Hand Experience In Japanese Architecture; Inspired from Edo period in Japan, we have successfully mimic and create the miniature versions of Ryokan. Each houses and rooms are filled with traditional sliding doors, tatami flooring, a ring of wooden verandas - anything you imagine'd a Japanese house would be. Coupled with vibrant traditional lamps and lanterns (tōrō, andon and bonbori) which provides a warm and cozy ambience in the room.
Dual Motion Scene Feature
The Moving Diner Scene; Our Ginzan Onsen consists of 3 buildings; 2 buildings on the sides are cater to onsen baths while the main building facing the front consists rows patrons dining in kaiseki-ryōri. The motion scene will depict waitresses walking around and serving the meals to their respective diners. Dressed in Kimonos, our team wants to bring out the essences of the beautiful traditional clothing of the Japanese culture that is still popular and admired in our modern days.
The Moving Water Pipes; Featuring an alternating moving pipes that pumps the water from river to the buildings in Ginzan Onsen. A water pump system that was used back in the days. Our team find it necessary to include these features and systems as it presents a nostalgic take on how the modern world has grown and developed over the years.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
What does your DIY Craft Kits comes with?
Our DIY Craft Kits comes with everything you need ranging from detailed instruction guide, cutting tools, crafting papers, solid plywood sheets and lights as well. However, we're not able to include batteries (for the lights) and glue due to shipping restrictions. Nonetheless, we do recommend getting a silicon based glue for our craft projects which you can get from a bookstore or art store! If you'd like a specific glue brand, you can choose to use Elmer's All Multi Purpose Glue and Gorilla Super Glue (for a stronger & faster stick)!
How long does it take to complete a project?
It really depends, our book nooks have been designed in a way whereby it takes lesser time because there are no coloring/painting required - the plywood pieces are already colored hence it's more of a gluing and pasting craft activity. It should take roughly 4-6 hours to complete. However, we do have customer who love to take their time and complete it over the weekend with their family members or friends!
Is it beginner friendly? Will it be a great gift for people who wants to try DIY crafting
We do our best to ensure that all of our DIY Craft Kits are simple and straightforward. We're focusing on providing the best experience to anyone who wants to try out DIY Crafting as a hobby! We do have customers who have never tried crafting before and they're now on their way to building their second, third, fourth kit and so on! It's a very unique and thoughtful gift - truly a great way to remind a family member or a friend to take some time off and indulge in relaxing therapeutic crafting activity!
Are these suitable for children?
Most of our DIY Craft Ktis are suitable for children age above 10. However, we do have parents telling us that their 6-8 years old children are having a ton of fun with it too. We guess ultimately, it boils down to how are the kits presented to them - if you're giving them the kit and expecting them to build on their own, we do think that it can be a little bit tough for them to complete it. However, if you're planning to build the kit with them and spend some quality time together, meanwhile engaging their inner tinkering and creativity mode, then we do think it's very possible for them to complete it. We do encourage family to do it together as a bonding activity while taking some time off screens!
If I accidentally break one of the key pieces for the craft kit, are you guys able to send a replacement?
Yes, simply reach out to us and our team will sort it out for you! However, please do keep in mind that the process can take some time as it's a specific piece which we will need some time to sort it out before sending it over to you.
