Book nook
From HandWiki
Short description: Miniature diorama placed on a bookshelf
A book nook or a bookshelf insert[1] is a miniature diorama designed to fit between books on a shelf.[2] They often depict a form of a street or similar setting in a theme from famous books.[2][3] Book nook can also make a form of a 3D model. They are similar to bookends but are placed in the middle of the books rather than on the ends.[2]
The idea seems to have originated in 2018 from a Japanese artist called Monde.[4][5]
The model is usually inspired by a theme from a famous book, e.g. Harry Potter (like popular Diagon Alley).[2] People can buy book nooks fully assembled, or create them on their own.[3]
