2 "Mr. Nikkaido's Special Night Workshop!"

A special workshop will be held featuring Mitsuru Nikkaido, a LEGOLANDR Japan Model Builder who has had his works exhibited at the LEGOR House in Denmark, the birthplace of LEGOR Blocks, in 2020 and 2025. For Matsuri Night, participants can enjoy a building experience themed around "Goldfish."

<Message from Mr. Nikkaido>

"Hello! In this workshop, we'll be making goldfish. Did you know that goldfish don't have eyelids like humans? That's why they sleep with their eyes open! If you see them at home or at an aquarium, please observe how their eyes look. In this creation, we'll challenge ourselves to express the goldfish's beautiful, flowing fins with few parts and explore fun building techniques by changing the orientation of the LEGOR blocks. Let's all have fun building together. We look forward to your participation!"

[Duration] Approximately 30 minutes [Venue] LEGOR Creative Workshop / Rebuild the World Center *Same-day reservations (limited capacity)
