The MINIATURE LIFE Exhibition has come back better than ever! This exhibition returns to Okinawa for the first time in 4 years. At first only popular within Japan, it has now also caught the attention of overseas audiences, with over 2 million visitors in total. A baumkuchen (layered spiral cake) becomes a rainbow, a lettuce head becomes a balloon, and rice grains become clouds... Tatsuya Tanaka’s miniature works create a whimsical world full of humor, turning our perception upside down and transforming familiar objects into new things.
