Since I got a bit lost in the Suzuki exhibit (more than 3 hours) the plan had to be changed, and I went to see the model dioramas by Yamada Takuji.
This gentleman, probably unknown to us, has won numerous awards for his dioramas and has been featured in everything from television to specialist magazines.

His small, exquisite exhibition, where one can lose oneself in the details, is hidden in a shopping mall (entrance fee 300 yen).

Part 2

He even immortalized himself in a model diorama while building this very diorama of himself... Does this make sense?!?

And for those wondering about Noah's Ark... It was a cat!
I don't know why I have to think of @cats ...

Part 3

Who doesn't remember that scene from Girls & Tanks.

His work is so detailed it's simply astonishing!
