Kaleidoscopes, with their fantastical images and potential for therapeutic effects, are currently experiencing a quiet boom.
This book, written by a leading Japanese kaleidoscope maker who has achieved international recognition and won the Grand Prix at the World Kaleidoscope Competition four times, is an unprecedented definitive guide to kaleidoscopes, introducing "everything about kaleidoscopes," including their mechanisms, images, and production methods.
Until now, the mirror system (the combination of mirrors), the heart of kaleidoscope images, has rarely been revealed, leaving most people to learn through trial and error.
This book provides detailed explanations of all mirror systems, serving as a practical guide for creating everything from simple basic kaleidoscopes to complex 3D kaleidoscopes.
This book is recommended for all kaleidoscope enthusiasts, including those who want to learn about kaleidoscope mechanisms, those who want to make one, those who want to create higher-level works, and those familiar with glass art.
