I thoroughly enjoyed building this set. It became addicting to work on and hard to walk away. It is a beautiful piece to work on and it was so much fun to watch it continue to grow as I worked on it. I would highly recommend this set for anyone who loves building Lego sets.

I thought this was a beautiful Lego set and why not give building it a try. If I struggle, I can always have my adult children help me. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't need any help (stay away from my Legos!) and it looks great! I enjoyed building so much that I have ordered more Lego sets. I am not too old to become a Lego hobbyist. Yay me!

I have built the Japanese cherry-blossom landscape set twice, once for each daughter. One placed hers on a shelf. The other easily hung it on a wall. Both are thrilled with the beauty and uniqueness of the scene; neither had previously ever seen a Lego picture. I am 94 years old and a beginner Lego builder, but I found them a lot of fun and quite easy to assemble. The instructions are very clear and amazingly the sets come with no parts missing. (How can they package exactly the right number and kind of 2000+ pieces?). I did, however, give the set a rating of 4 rather than 5 because of problems with the foundation and base. When first assembled they seem solidly attached, But the plates do not attach securely to the base and the constant downward pressure of pushing in the bricks eventually cause the center pieces of the base to fall out repeatedly, thereby giving the plates no support. This happened on both sets. I solved the problem by gluing the small areas where the base planks meet each other. I recommend that builders do this before they find during construction that the center has given way.

This was an amazing build. Priced about right and came together in typically incredible LEGO fashion. The instructions were clear and I like the recycleable bags. I love the dimensional aspect of this build. This piece really is breathtaking and fits in my space majestically. (The bottom shelf of the bookcase is waiting for my husband's Museum😉. Husband also built “The Wave” in the left of the picture. I built the rest. Yeah. We're hooked on LEGOS.)

This set is really lovely and displays nicely with Emerald City Wall Art and Claude Monet Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies. The build was good - I would start with the ‘picture' first and leave the frame for last, but that's just my preference ( dessert first and all ). My only issue is with the birds… the black crow bars keep falling off the pin parts. Maybe there is some technique to help them stay put, but I have not yet discovered it. Any words for the birds?

I built this for my doctor that is retiring. He likes Hapan ands has friends there. I wanted to let him know hours much he has meant to me. This build was fun to do and I liked how you had to build two separate pieces to put together as one. The set came out great!!!! Very happy!

What a creative design! Great use of vivid colors and a VERY impressive result. I fell in love with this set the moment it was announced, and it only looks better in person. The build is interesting but not difficult and really quite relaxing and enjoyable - so much so that I was a bit sad when it came to an end! Fun to build and to admire as you go along, this is truly a first-rate set!

Thoroughly enjoyed the variety of pieces and visual components of this build. Inspired by an earlier review -- and knowing my intended display wall needed a larger piece -- I ordered two sets and combined them. Unlike the earlier review, I decided to mix up most of the elements for the visual effect I preferred. I usually follow instructions closely and have not done a freehand build before. Challenging, and needed patience, but ultimately a lot of fun. I added a few extra small pieces from my spares stockpile, but almost 98% was what came with the sets. This is a good set to play with if you want to try breaking away from the instructions. Just make sure to secure your backing structures very well! I still hope to adjust the exposed grey line in between the blue mountains, but overall, very pleased.

This was my favorite build so far. It was fun and put me into mindful meditation. The completed piece is stunning.

Gorgeous display piece! Great use of color with lots of interesting details. Not too difficult at all. A very enjoyable build. Highly recommend.
