We Often Eat Out In Restaurants,

and some have food that has been carved,

into table decorations,

 but we have never seen them as fine as these,

 Japanese chef and skilled food carver Takehiro Kishimoto explores the traditional art of produce designs on food items,

 he posts cucumbers, radishes, and avocados that have been transformed into detailed patterns and skillfully rendered motifs, in addition to kiwis and carrots that blossom into ornate flowers,  

 His most impressive designs might be his interactive apple and watermelon works which he carves to expand like lanterns when pulled from the top,

 the popular food artist is from Kobe, Japan, and has only been carving for the last three or so years,

  many of his designs are based on traditional Japanese patterns,

  yet combine inspirations from both Thai fruit carving and the Japanese art of decorative garnishing, or Mukimono,

 and if you truly want to be amazed,

just watch this video, the opening shot of the Japanese lantern is amazing! how does he do it?
