I wonder if you like to play Jenga? By taking out the building blocks one by one and stacking them to the top of the tower, the game mode trains the players concentration and patience, because as long as one mistake is made, it is not easy to stack up. If a good building shakes, it will collapse! Now, a Japanese artist has carried forward this balancing test of walking on thin ice, but what he stacks is not building blocks, but natural stones of different shapes and sizes.
Maybe you have never heard of stone balancing artist Kokei Mikuni, but his amazing balancing skills have attracted one of Japans largest companies, Sony, to ask him to shoot an advertisement for their new headphones. In the two-and-a-half minute long video, he was placed in a room full of traffic and construction noise, which was a nightmare for the art of stacking stones, which requires concentration~
So, Mikuni put on MDR-1000X noise-proof headphones, which had a significant external sound blocking effect. Along with the soft music, his brain waves gradually became gentle, and he was finally able to stack these sharp-edged noises safely. Big and small stones.
Whether it is by a stream or by the sea, Kokei Mikuni can firmly establish a rock pile!
Of course, Mikuni has also been exploring this art for several years, which does not use strong glue at all and relies only on balancing points to build stone towers. He likes to use local materials, go to look for rocks under waterfalls, and complete works by the water. With precise calculations in his mind, he can grasp the center of gravity of the overall structure and what stones should be placed in what positions. He already knows it well and is as stable as a rock.
Mikunis stone pile art brings people a kind of meditation inspiration, and also makes us full of admiration and gratitude for the land under our feet.
