One of the prettiest LEGO sets released this year is the #31218 LEGO Art Japanese Cherry Blossom Landscape. Inspired by the beauty of springtime in Japan and the country’s Ukiyo-e artists, the brick-built 3D wall art features Mount Fuji, a teahouse, a bridge, a waterfall, flying Japanese cranes, cherry blossoms, ’Sango-Kaku’ maple trees, and Japanese umbrella pine trees.

The landscape comes in a black lacquer shadow box frame and has two display options: it can be mounted on a wall with a hanger or freely stood on a flat surface. The artwork’s waterfall flows beyond the frame, so on a wall it pours directly out, or it can be adjusted to spill out onto a flat surface. The set comes with 1,892 pieces and measures over 15 in. (39 cm) high, 13.5 in. (35 cm) wide, and 2.5 in. (6 cm) deep. The retail price is $139.99 at the LEGO Art section of the Online LEGO Shop.

While the set is beautiful in itself, some LEGO fans realized it looks even better by combining it with other Japanese-style sets. The #10315 LEGO Tranquil Garden is part of the LEGO Icons Gardens of the World series, and features a traditional Japanese garden with an arched bridge, stream, koi carp, lotus flowers, trees, rocks, stone lanterns, and a pavilion with a detailed tea-ceremony room. This set comes with 1,363 pieces and retails for $109.99.

The Japanese Cherry Blossom Landscape can be placed behind the Tranquil Garden as a beautiful 3D backdrop. You can even have the waterfall line up with the stream! Some other sets that can be added to the display are the #31217 LEGO Art Tiger from last year, and some of the LEGO Botanical sets like the #10348 LEGO Japanese Maple Tree, and the #10373 LEGO Mini Bonsai Trees.

I don’t know if LEGO designers intentionally made these sets compatible, or it’s just a happy accident, but it’s a wonderful option that’s worth considering.
