See our family's micca dusted cardboard houses from Japan...
Although these houses sparkle a bit more under the lighted tree, their micca dusted roof-tops are not a self-evident in the following photos.
Above is the largest "glitter" house in our collection that was
mass-produced in Japan after WWII. It looks much like the trending
Mid-Century Modern homes of America at that time. It has a simple sloped
roof and a few bottle brush trees trim it's edges.
This
tiny house is a bit peculiar in that it looks something like a platform
for a train station instead of a house. It's slanted and also has a
hole in the back for a tiny Christmas tree light to shine through; all
of these examples have holes like these.
Here we have a 'barn' shaped cottage with a gambrel roof and fancy
arched windows. This house is painted a Christmas red. Because these
homes are very light weight, they are most frequently hung on the
feather trees in our home during the holidays.
Last, but not least favored is the blue house, with a gable and double
front door. It is probably one of the most popular shapes for glitter
house ornaments of it's era.
