"The elephant type bricks" which look like an expression on sorrow by a point of view to watch.
A big ear, a long flower, a small, short tail, an excellent tusk. All is form made ディフォルメ boldly, but it becomes a lovely figure while catching the characteristic well.

The bricks work is the toy which I assemble it without using the metal fittings entirely, and can dismantle a square chip of wood in the traditional technique of the Odawara district, a, so to speak, three-dimensional puzzle. When it is in the middle of the Edo era, and the playground equipment called the "intellect Eki" "wisdom board" was used, documents have it, and this is said to be it when it was in the origin of the bricks work. In addition, it is one of the folkcrafts which reason, Japan boast of even if they made a Japanese shrine structure characterized by "the tree composing type structure" not to use the nails at all a hint. It is the refined design which becomes the accent of the interior only as a puzzle.
