Friends who have been to Osaka for free travel must be familiar with the Osaka Municipal Subway Yotsubashi Line! The Yotsubashi Line runs from Nishi-Umeda Station in the north to Suminoe Koen Station in the south, connecting the transportation between the north and south of Osaka. Although it is not Like the Midosuji Line, it runs directly from north to south through the bustling center of Osaka, but it is also an important transportation artery in Osaka City!
In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of this important Yotsubashi Line in the past few days, every station along the line has displayed nostalgic photos from the station’s opening to the present, as well as congratulatory works from many creators.
▼One of the "illustrations" is particularly popular among tourists and has also aroused heated discussions among Japanese netizens.
From a distance, this tram illustration seems very ordinary! There is nothing surprising at all, right? But if this painting is just "drawn", then of course it is not worth making a fuss about. Lets take a closer look...< /p>
▼This illustration was originally a collage made by a clerk at Nishi-Umeda Station using small circles of paper scraps that fell when punching the train ticket!
▼There are also clear explanations in the introduction of the work.
▼The stippling is made of small circles punched by trams and collaged with paper scraps. Compared with the trams that usually run on the Four Bridges line, the degree of restoration is so high!
And since the small circles of paper scraps cut out from the tram tickets are only in black and white, how to use black and white circles with "different densities" to arrange the shades and the depth of field of the picture? But it requires considerable "skill", "eyesight" and "endurance"!
▼However, while this kind of work has been well received, the author’s remarks are...
What mud! Don’t you want to do it a second time at all? Σ(*?д??)?That’s right... I saw the details in the introduction of the work, and the total number of small circle paper scraps used...
"153,600" pieces!
This is a work that will make people fall down, right? (Are your eyes okay, author?)
And it took a total of 300 hours to complete this work... I believe the station clerk must have driven a lot of night trains to rush the work, right? Thinking of this... suddenly I felt like a "collage of stipples in the middle of the night" appeared in front of my eyes. "The lonely figure, and from time to time there are sounds and images of breaking down and shouting "I can't finish it~ I really can't finish it"...
