■About OMOSHIROI BLOCK
OMOSHIROI BLOCK was created with the idea of allowing customers who are not familiar with architectural models to enjoy the elaborate and delicate design of the laser-cut paper in their hands. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary notepad, but as user peels the paper off, an elaborate object will appear at the end. Each first-class architect puts a great deal of effort into designing models, designing every detail of the building, and devising ways to recreate the building as it is.
OMOSHIROI BLOCK is not only popular in Japan, but also in the world.

＜Comment from Michinori Isohata, CEO of FOX.INC＞
Next year is the 20th anniversary of the release of the movie “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”. I am a huge fan of Harry Potter and I loved the original books. When I heard about the film adaptation, I had high hopes for it. When I saw the movie, I was thrilled to see the world of the author J.K. Rowling’s story recreated. Then I came across OMOSHIROI BLOCK. Until now, OMOSHIROI BLOCK has been often used as a model of real life building, but I thought it would be very attractive if we could realize the dream of Hogwarts Castle in the world of Harry Potter, and this led me to develop this product. We believe that we were able to create the “Harry Potter – OMOSHIROI BLOCK [ Hogwarts Castle]” because FOX has a proven track record of collaboration on various products. The “Harry Potter – OMOSHIROI BLOCK [ Hogwarts Castle]” is a collaboration of Japanese craftsmanship and the dream of Harry Potter, a product that will delight Harry Potter fans around the world. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary notepad, but it is actually designed by a first-class architect, a work of art created by craftsmen, and a very high degree of perfection. As the new coronavirus continues to spread throughout the world, we hope that we can give people at home some hope and inspiration.
