Hi, Glen. This is much different. Here's a short description of the two items.
====================
Two scenes are now available in a high-quality color, matte-print version 
(98 x 27 x 15 cm) - with several other scenes under development.

1. The Medieval German town of Goslar

2. The Heian Jingu Temples from Kyoto

The illusion kit consists of three pre-cut and pre-folded 320 g cardboard 
pieces, with double-sided tape already in place. A 16-page pamphlet explains 
the basic psychology of reverse perspective and takes you step-by-step 
through construction (in English, Japanese and German). Assembly requires no 
tools, tape or glue and takes approximately 20 minutes.

Each illusion costs U.S.$40.00 (or 40 Euros, or 3600 yen, or 70 SFr, postage 
included).

Please call: 0727-27-2265 (in Japan) or send email inquiries to: 
See-and-Eye, Ltd.
