翌あらばあらばと思ふ桜哉
(Asu araba araba to omou sakura kana)
Tomorrow and tomorrow
will they still be?
cherry blossoms...
Issa

Shinji Ogawa explains: "The haiku depicts, I think, the short life of cherry blossoms. Will there still be the cherry blossoms tomorrow, too?"

Incredible  Miniature Sculptures by Takanori Aiba

The level of detail and intricacy in his work is truly mind-blowing. Each sculpture is like a miniature world, bursting with life and stories. I would love to see some close-ups if anybody has seen these in-person.

Mind-bending and unconventional works of JAPANESE art! 

SURREAL and just amazing stone sculptures by HIROTOSHI ITOH. This Japanese stone sculptor is known for his humorously imaginative ideas and incredible ability to make stones look soft, flexible, and light! ^ ^ 
Hirotoshi Ito carves sculpture out of stone. But, not just any sculpture. His work utilises the natural shape of the river stones he works with, and he then imbues them with his unique kind of warmth and humour. The result is both clever and enchanting.
To create his art pieces, Itoh uses locally sourced rocks and materials from the town’s river and uses the common sculptor tools such as chisels and saws in order to grind and shape rocks to the desired form.

Accessories such as zippers, coins and other materials are added to complete the piece. His designs are usually inspired by common items such as bags, purses and shirts.
