OSAKA -- Kanna Nakayama's Osaka workshop is a space 5 meters square with the air of a university research lab -- albeit one packed with thousands of kinds of Lego blocks.
Bright-eyed children peer in through the window to see the handiwork of Asia's first female Lego master model builder at the Legoland Discovery Center in Osaka. The workshop features a complex array of models dreamed up by Nakayama, from a ukulele to a replica of the Tower of the Sun, an Osaka landmark built for the 1970 World Expo.
