I love the way this looks and in Japan they sell kits hobby/DIY stores with everything you need. They have them on Amazon too.
I thought this was an art form but, living in Japan I couldn't find any ... I found a couple of schools and the schools had student and teacher projects on display but I didn't find places selling much as "art" or "crafts". I'm not saying I found zero. Rather I'm saying I found so little that my conclusion is this is mostly (a) a fun hobby and (b) a service where you can hire someone to fix a cherished item.
