Natsukashii

The beauty of a memory or nostalgia accompanied by a smile.

It’s a beautiful thought really. 

For in Japanese culture it is believed that a moment fleeting into transience, makes the memory all the more valuable.

And what fond memories I have of Japan. 

So recreating natsukashii in LEGO turned out to be quite a challenge - not only did I want to visualize my experience but also include cultural/faunistic aspects into my build.

At a closer look, you might spot the native Japanese tree frog, a Japanese tassel or Uchiwa (a traditional Japanese fan).

You don’t always get the chance to combine nostalgia with passion, so creating a LEGO build based on past memories has truly brought me natsukashii.

It’s a reminder that you are fortunate to have had the experiences you’ve had in life.

The beauty of a memory.
