SHIBORI
The Japanese art of indigo resist-dyeing, made playable. Fold the cloth, clamp the resist over each region, then plunge the whole cloth through the ai vat — deeper with every dip. Clamp on time and a region keeps its shade; miss the moment and the indigo drinks it darker. The fold IS the symmetry, so one clamp blooms a kaleidoscopic pattern across the opened cloth. A real fold-symmetry engine drives it — clamp-then-dip is both demo and regression test. Twelve cloths across three traditions — itajime, kumo, arashi — with a rin-bell score, a cloth gallery, and a free dye studio.

LUMEN
A fine-art stained-glass restoration puzzle. A shattered cathedral window has had its lead came knocked askew — turn each glass pane to rejoin the tracery, and as the seams reconnect the glass brightens until sunlight floods through and the rose is whole again. Twelve rose and lancet windows across three chapters, hand-drawn antique glass and gothic lead work, an antique glass-bell score, a glazier's gallery of restored windows, and a deterministic engine whose title screen restores itself. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.

CLAYWRIGHT
The craft of the potter's wheel, in real 3D. Centre the clay, pull the wall up, and shape a spinning vessel to match the ghost of a master form — then fire it and watch the glaze bloom from the kiln. Built on a deterministic throwing engine (every pull and push a pure function of the clay), so the title screen throws its own masterpieces and the demo is the regression test. Twelve vessels across three studios — the everyday table, the celadon studio, and the moon kiln — with crackle, celadon and oxblood glazes, a kiln shelf, and a koto score. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.

MANDALA
The art of the poured sand painting, made playable. Pour coloured sand into the folded wedge and every grain blooms symmetrically across all the petals at once. Match the printed chart, then watch the finished mandala sweep away to the winds — the ritual of impermanence. Built on a real dihedral-symmetry engine (one pour, mirrored up to twenty-four ways), so the title screen paints its own masterworks and the demo is the regression test. Twelve mandalas across three traditions, with a singing-bowl score, a shrine gallery, and a free sand studio. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.
