The "Summer of Nazca, Summer of Peru" released this time is not a mosquito coil, but incense. Since it is already autumn and no one uses mosquito coils anymore, it was commercialized as an incense to enjoy the fragrance.

The product is sold as a production kit, so purchasers can make their own terrestrial picture-shaped incense. According to the sales site, the level of difficulty is quite high, so it is necessary to sit down and work on it carefully.

Buyers knead the incense with their own hands.

The art unit "Contemporary Art Second Class" posted the following message on the sales site.

We have received a number of inquiries asking us if we are going to commercialize the product. I have received many inquiries asking if we would commercialize the product, but knowing how high the hurdle was, I spent my days feeling bitter and apologetic about it. Finally, with the cooperation of Dwango, we were able to make a Copernican turnaround: instead of selling mass-produced products, we sold the molds and asked the customers to mass-produce the rest by themselves. We are now able to deliver the product to you through a Copernican turnaround! Now, you can mass-produce as much as you want!

Now, let's mass produce as much as we want!
