AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Sangaku is a fun game based on intersections, rotations and dimensional variations. In Japanese culture, in fact, Sangaku are geometric problems engraved on wooden tablets, which in most cases illustrate problems concerning circles and ellipses inscribed one within another. Hence the idea of inserting inside an imaginary circle of radius 50 cm four different circles: two of radius 40 cm and two of radius 20 cm, thus creating a new element regulated by invisible but still perceptible geometric ratios. The intersection points between the various elements become the pillars that support the four different planes, which cleverly manage to fill and differentiate space, creating a perfect mix of solids and voids. Out of production

The shipping price will be calculated based on the destination at the end of the auction.
