Miniature Worlds / Tatsuya Tanaka

For over 10 years, photographer Tanaka Tatsuya has been creating daily landscapes using miniature figurines surrounded by human necessities. The landscapes offer a humorous—and cheeky— perspective into the mundane objects of everyday life, such as broccoli, face masks, and toilet paper. With over 2 million followers, Tanaka Tatsuya has exhibited around the world, including Taiwan, Japan, and Finland. The artist most recently staged an exhibition at The Mizuno Museum in Nagano prefecture.

Tanaka writes of his inspiration: “Broccoli and parsley might sometimes look like a forest, or the tree leaves floating on the surface of the water might sometimes look like little boats. I wanted to take this way of thinking and express it through photographs, so I started to put together a MINIATURE CALENDAR.” He hopes that his pieces "add a little enjoyment to your everyday life."
