Every time I see the masterpieces of miniature model experts, I can't help but wonder how good their eyesight is, or how flexible their fingers are to complete such detailed and precise works. Take the miniature artist Tomo Tanaka. Although most of his works are based on food and household groceries, they are so exquisite that he even needs to put a finger as a reference scale next to the finished product to convince everyone that it is real. It’s just a model, how can it not be amazing!
Tanaka Satoshis career in creating miniature models began in 2002. Under the brand he founded, Nunus House, he took theme photos with magazines. Since its launch, it has been very eye-catching. Working primarily with clay and resin, he scales these food and grocery items into miniature models at a 12:1 ratio. Although the model is small, every detail is meticulously presented, including the wrinkles, smoothness and softness of the food, as well as the gloss, lines and color of the utensils. Moreover, almost all of his works are conceived from scratch rather than "copied" with reference to existing products, which is even more admirable for his creativity and ingenuity.
