● Recommended for beginners to intermediate crafters who want to enjoy handmade work
The difficulty level is suitable for beginners to intermediate users.

You can enjoy a variety of steps such as sewing, embroidery, and attaching parts, and experience the joy of gradually bringing the piece to life.
● Perfect as a seasonal decoration for New Year
Since it is a zodiac-themed piece, it is recommended as a seasonal decoration for welcoming the New Year. Unlike mass-produced ornaments, displaying something you finished by hand creates a more personal and meaningful New Year atmosphere.
● Enjoy the individuality that only handmade items can offer
Even when using the same kit, the atmosphere changes slightly depending on the stitching, expression, and finishing. That is part of the charm of handmade work. You can enjoy making it into a piece that feels uniquely yours. It is recommended not only for displaying the finished item, but also for those who want to enjoy the time spent creating it.

It is perfect for people who prepare zodiac decorations every New Year, or for those who want to display an auspicious item they made themselves instead of a store-bought one. With its unique and charming boar motif, it pairs well with Japanese-style interiors and helps create a space with a seasonal feel.
● Also a great gift for handmade craft lovers
This craft kit is also recommended as a present for people who enjoy handicrafts or making stuffed toys. Rather than giving a finished item, you can gift the “time spent making it,” which is one of the special appeals of a kit. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who values their hobby time.
