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.

CINNABAR
A fine-art Chinese papercut (jianzhi) puzzle. Fold a round sheet of vermilion paper, glide the scissors through the pale grounds and every symmetry fold snips at once, so the red silhouette blooms into a radial window-flower over warm lantern light; pierce the locked hearts with the awl for a flawless cut. Twelve window-flowers across three chapters — Spring Festival hearth-gold, Garden jade, and Celestial moon-silver — with a guzheng score, a papercut gallery of your finished work, and a deterministic engine whose title screen cuts itself. Portrait-first, pure JavaScript, no build.

INKBLOOM
A fine-art sumi-e brush arcade. Ink forms arc across rice paper; draw living calligraphic strokes to bloom half-painted subjects — koi, sparrow, dragonfly, crane, dragon — into full ink paintings. Chain combos into seals, court the rare gold koi, and dodge the ink-blots as the palette, roster, and backdrop turn through four hand-painted seasons. Deterministic engine; the title screen paints itself; every subject you master joins the album.

ASTERISM
A fine-art celestial-atlas puzzle. Trace every star-line of a constellation in one unbroken stroke — a one-line Eulerian-path puzzle — to ignite the asterism and reveal its engraved mythological figure. 12 hand-charted constellations across three chapters (the Northern Wheel, the Zodiac Road, the Deep Sky), rendered as gold-leaf light on midnight vellum with an antique compass-rose atlas frame, a deterministic engine whose title screen solves itself, hint/undo/reset, star ratings, and a WebAudio celeste score. Portrait-first, desktop-friendly, pure JS, no build.
