TOBIDUSTRY BIRD POP-UP CARDS BY ATSUKO YUKAWA

The beautiful bird illustrated pop-up cards "Tobidustry" are finally restocked with some more new birds! The illustration with amazing details is by Atsuko Yukawa who is also a bird lover. On the cover of the card drawn are birds sitting on the branch, and inside each bird pops up with their wings wide open - it's quite marvelous and it would give a happy surprise to those who receive the card.

Since these can only be produced in very small quantity each time we had to wait for a long time before we could finally get them. Now all the 8 designs/birds are available for purchase from UGUiSU.
