NO these are not old photographs of scenes of old Japan.
These are photos of some of the legendary miniature dioramas of master Ichiyo Haga of Tokyo Japan.
Ichiyo Haga
THREE DIMENSIONAL MINIATURE ARTISAN
Ichiyoh Haga was born in 1948 and resides in Tokyo, Japan. He began
creating three dimensional miniature art in 1995 after running his own
chain of women's clothing stores, which were affected adversely by the
recession that rocked the Japanese economy throughout the eighties and
nineties. This turn of events, caused Mr. Haga to make a dramatic change
in his life and today remains the catalyst for his adventure into the
miniature art world.
Ichiyoh Haga's very first project
was a small, wooden, traditional Japanese railroad office (smaller than
a cigarette box) constructed while killing time at work due to
declining situation of the Japanese economy. This one small step fueled
his enthusiasm and by the end of the first week he would go on to create
five projects that would mark a new career for him and a dramatic
change of lifestyle.
It didn't take long for people to notice
his work and in 1996, Parco (a Japanese department store) held what
became Ichiyoh's first miniature art exhibition. After the success of
his first exhibition (including various sales) his career really began
to take off and at present, Ichiyoh has held over 45 exhibitions both
here in Japan and internationally.
Still breathless guys???
This is what I want to be when I grow up ( or get older ). I won't leave Sci Fi scale modeling, I hope not to leave Gunpla but I hope that someday I will have enough skills and knowledge to incorporate " robots " into realistic scenes like the works of master Ichiyo. His legend is a dream I would personally strive for.
So how do we make our robots look as realistic as possible and how do we blend or incorporate those robots with realistic scenes? I have no idea. But will strive for this kind of excellence and realism someday.
Thank you for the inspiration master Ichiyo Haga.
