246 Fun Miniature Dioramas By Japanese Artist Who’s Been Creating Them Every Day For 5 Years
Bigger doesn't always mean better, as Japanese artist Tatsuya Tanaka proves with these tiny dioramas that he makes for his ongoing Miniature Calendar project.
He's been creating these miniature worlds every day since 2011, and we first featured his works of art a couple of years ago, but since then he gave life to hundreds more of creative ideas, some of which you can find below. Using everything from slices of bread, earphones, banana skins, and Pringles tins, Tanaka gives life to these everyday objects by reinventing them as props for the miniature people he combines them with. Whether he's using a bottle cap to recreate a restaurant scene or turning green plastic straws into a bamboo forest, the artist knows how to turn even the most unremarkable household item into truly unexpected miniature dioramas. Vote for your favorite below, and then check out more of his unique artworks on Instagram where he has almost 600k followers.

Not a darn light on in the whole city. And my arm is so tired maybe no one will notice if I change arms. !
I'd probably get sick from eating all that popcorn

I don't know what that says but it looks cool so I think I'll upvote it.
Load More Replies...This image especially shows how tiny and intricate these figurines are, since the roll of tape is not really enlarged.
This is a very interesting and funny way to get kids to eat their vegetables.
That's some hot real estate. Comes with a chimney and everything.
People use animal scat to build fires. He's just storing up for future use.

My friends love Pocky and introduced the treat to me. It's surprisingly good for chocolate on a stick. I hear music every time I eat some
Little did the lone cameraman know, he was being watched. How else would this photo occur?
It's the escalator to no where from "The Simpsons"... or it leads to an elevator in the heel that goes to the valet parking.
