A #Lego rendition of “Under the wave off Kanagawa” (aka the Great Wave) by #Hokusai at #MFABoston
@twoowls73 I should have mentioned in my original post that the sculpture was created by Jumpei Mitsui, one of only 22 Lego Certified Professionals in the world
@tardisgrl thank you, I’ll certainly look into that further. Such a beautiful recreation!
@twoowls73 his Instagram is pretty amazing!

Hi @helenczerski,

look at the super-cool wave made of Lego bricks in the post above. 🌞

@tardisgrl
It's just so cool, thanks for sharing!
@khzimmer2 I should have mentioned in my original post that the artist who created the sculpture is named Jumpei Mitsui. Not just any old hobbyist, but a Lego Certified Professional! That Lego wave came all the way from Osaka, which must have been a feat of packaging and transport in itself!

@tansy @tardisgrl

That's really cool!

@totalclaireity I should have given credo to the Lego artist as well. His name is Jumpei Mitsui. According to the info next to the piece he is a Lego Certified professional. I didn’t even know that title existed!

@tardisgrl

That right there is a demonstration of spatial intelligence: being able to look at all the available bits and pieces and shapes and know exactly where they need to go to achieve the desired goal.

@VulcanTourist it looked amazing up close, and completely at home in a museum, placed directly across from the original print (which is much smaller lol.) When I made my original post I should have mentioned that the artist is Jumpei Mitsui. Museum guide said it includes 50,000 pieces and took 400 hours to build. Respect!
@tardisgrl Awesome! Yahoo News says it's by Japanese professional Lego builder Jumpei Mitsui and will be moving to the Seattle Art Museum from Oct. 19 to Jan. 21, 2024.
@marbles one of 22 Lego professionals in the world. I’d quite like that job! If you look at his Instagram it’s pretty amazing
