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.
