★Concentrate on paper cutting and relax your mind and heart
When people are worried or stressed, they tend to think in a negative way. In order to avoid falling into such a negative spiral, we recommend paper cutting, which allows you to naturally concentrate on the task at hand. Under the supervision of a certified psychologist, this book will help you easily enjoy paper cutting at home while relieving yourself of daily frustration and confusion.

★Even beginners can do it! From easy-to-cut items to items that will help you improve!
For those who want to start paper cutting as a new hobby, we have included many designs that are difficult to make mistakes and can be completed in a short amount of time. The basics and tips for cutting are clearly explained with photos. Once you get used to it, it's a good idea to try out more complicated designs little by little and see your progress.

★Cute and beautiful designs that are fun to cut
The designs include standard flowers, plants, and animals, as well as sweets, fashion, travel, gifts, and other exciting motifs that make it fun to choose which one to cut. We also introduce coloring methods that will make your finished work even more beautiful.

★Tear out the black page with the pattern printed on it and start right away!
The black paper page has a design printed on only one side, so you can cut out the page with the design you want to cut out from the book. For those who want to cut out paper in their favorite size, color, and pattern, we also include pattern paper for copying.
