A collection of miniature works by Satoshi Tanaka, a popular miniature artist on SNS. in this, his fourth work, the author has taken on the challenge of recreating a realistic world that does not collapse no matter how close you get. The works are all 1/12th of the real size, small enough to fit on a fingertip, but even when magnified a dozen times through a lens, the realism trapped within them is never lost. The frill of lettuce on a hamburger, the sashi of roast beef, the toro of nigiri sushi, the steam on the lid of an oden pot, & so on. Please enjoy the amazingly realistic world that has been created to look more authentic than the real thing! From the author For this collection, I took on a more difficult challenge than ever before in a world as small as 1/12, trying out new tools & changing the traditional way of making things. “I spent a lot of time creating each piece, pushing myself again & again to see how close I could get to the real thing, & how far I could go to make it look more authentic than it is. I wanted people to be able to get as close as possible to see the 1 / 12 world that I had expressed to the best of my ability, & to see it enlarged, so I had them get as close as possible during the photo shoot. Some of the miniatures have been enlarged to more than 12 times their original size, & as a result, some of them have exceeded the size of reality. We hope you will enjoy the “real world” by comparing them with the original size while enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee.
