A Message from the Manufacturer
Symmetry is a very important concept. The word "Symmetry" has been used for expressing something "bilaterally-symmetric," "beautiful," or "well-balanced" since a long time ago. Therefore, it is obviously an important concept for paintings, sculpture, and music. This word is also a very important concept for math, physics, and biology.

The purpose of this model is to learn the concept of symmetry without knowing that you are leaning it. You feel the model looks beautiful because it has a symmetrical structure.
Also, the "balls" used for this model are actually highly symmetrical and we believe that you can learn the concept of symmetric without knowing that you are learning it when you see the structure of the "balls." You put sticks in the "balls" to make a beautiful crystal models such as a crystal of diamond and it is significantly important for you to give attention to the directions of "balls" and the aspect with holes.
With putting sticks in the holes on the triangular or quadrangular surface of the "balls," you will learn the concept of symmetry.

We believe that many of you can learn the concept of symmetry without knowing that you are learning it with simply making the models that you feel beautiful. We strongly recommend you to make some models.
