Sculptures of the Buddha are a cornerstone of Japanese carving. To extend this tradition, Michihamono has collaborated with master Buddhist sculptor Nihi to develop ten Buddha designs to be carved by children (or adults, of course) as rubber stamps.
This kit contains 10 Buddha designs each with their own personality (4 at 90x55mm, 6 at 30 x 30mm), each with a star rating indicating their relative difficulty, as well as all the materials required to transfer those designs to the rubber blocks, carve those rubber blocks into stamps, and ink them up ready for printing!
Materials included are:
Colour-coded 5 piece set of carving tools, including the common shapes required for block-print carving
Buddha design sheet
Tracing paper to trace the designs
2x Rubber Blocks 90x55mm (these can be used as double sided stamps, allowing you to trace and cut all 4 included designs at this size)
6x Rubber Blocks 30x30mm
1x red ink pad
1x black ink pad
