Tatsuya Tanaka is a Japanese artist who has been creating these incredible miniature dioramas with things that we wouldn’t even give a second glance to. He started the ‘Miniature Calendar’ project around five years ago and he doesn’t plan on stopping soon.
This is an excerpt taken from his website:
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. Everyday occurrences seen from a pygmy’s perspective can bring us lots of fun thoughts.
I wanted to take this way of thinking and express it through photographs, so I started to put together a “MINIATURE CALENDAR” These photographs primarily depict diorama-style figures surrounded by daily necessaries.
