Golden Week!
The first week of May brings the curiously scattered holidays known as "Golden Week". This year the official holidays are Tuesday to Thursday, May 3-4-5. So we can actually ship puzzles on Monday or Friday, but in practice there will be disruption until the week beginning May 9.
Covid-19: Shop status
We are accepting orders again, but with very limited shipping options, which we have to handle manually. Please use the checkout form to request puzzles, and we will get back to you when we can. Please see the front page for more details.
Kaname has portrayed a range of animal figures, but particularly the traditional rivals, the tiger and dragon. In the particular form of the blue dragon and white tiger, these are two of the four Chinese protector gods, and other animals carry auspicious connotations from their places in the Chinese calendar cycle.
