A Miniature World,

of daily dioramas,


 another year, another 365 days of miniature scenes from Tatsuya Tanaka,  

 on a daily basis for the past seven years, the prolific Japanese miniature artist has shared unique images of  imagined scenes created using the simple combination of everyday objects, tiny model humans, and his boundless imagination, crinkle-cut potato chips become desert sand dunes,

 spiral-bound notebooks delineate swimmers poised to compete,

 are just some of his daily delights,

 Tanaka periodically releases books, calendars, and postcard collections of his favorite photographs,

 which he lists on his website,

 You can also join over a million Tanaka fans on Instagram and Facebook,

 or if you’re in Japan, check out his show in Nagoya through November 25, 2018,

 this one is so topical, think Banksy!

 as an aside for anyone keeping track, there are over 2,500 dioramas that he has produced,

and no I am not on commission, I am just amazed that he can think of a new diorama, and has done every day for the past 7 years!
