You may remember the whimsical world of miniatures created by Tatsuya Tanaka, who uses imaginative observations of everyday objects coupled with miniature people to put together this charming Miniature Calendar.
Tanaka sees a lot of fun in everyday occurrences, and uses miniatures that are no bigger than 2 centimeters to craft these cute and inspired scenes. He claims that his work is born from a shared human experience of curiosity and imagination, writing that “Everyone must have had similar thoughts at least once...Broccoli and parsley might sometimes look like a forest, or the tree leaves floating on the surface of the water might sometimes look like little boats.”
And that's the case in this roundup of his latest work, where pancakes become sumo rings, sushi becomes futons and trains, and Pocky turn into light-sabers. Take a look at these small, but fascinating pieces.
