This Japanese photographer has been pushing his imagination to the limit for ten years, posting small-scale, everyday scenes on Instagram with everyday objects arranged with great artistry and ingenuity. During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Tatsuya participated in the COVID Art Museum with some of his creations. All the scenes are incredibly easy to understand and are designed with a skill and creativity that leaves no one indifferent.
