As winter comes into full swing and the pandemic shows no signs of letting up, it's hardly surprising that more and more residents are choosing to stay home. Some pass the time watching TV, some cooking, and others enjoying hobbies.
Yorita Shijuro (@yorita3) is one such person who finds himself with a little more idle time than usual. This Twitter user, however, enjoys using his hands to make things. He posted a recent creation he made on Twitter:
"It's my new piece! During the lockdown, this diorama bookend invites you to enter a world of books at midnight. I hate to blow my own horn, but it turned out well."
Indeed, during the state of emergency measures, it's challenging to go out like before COVID-19 started. However, this diorama makes me feel like I can travel to some Harry Potter type library through this mysterious door! The soft reddish light is also a nice touch.
830,000 people liked this fanciful, handmade door. They reacted:
Indeed, many noted how this door seems like something from a dark fantasy movie. Many people want this bookend for themselves.
Another trending handicraft

As you can see, it practically looks like a real, professional anime.
