"Sirius's Tree" is a captivating work, like a natural Christmas tree, where the overwhelming presence of Sirius, the brightest star in the entire sky, shines as if layered on top of a tree. We hope you can enjoy the clear night air that KAGAYA must have witnessed on site through the time it takes to complete the 300 pieces. Also, KAGAYA's works will appear in the "Petit Pallet Clear" series for the first time. Utilizing the transparent plastic material, we pursued the beauty of light overflowing from within the artwork. After assembling, please try placing it in a bright spot, such as by a window. By enjoying the plastic pieces illuminated, the sparkle of stars and the moon will deepen even further, allowing you to enjoy a world of clear light, different from paper puzzles. We hope these products bring a moment of peace to your daily life.
