Join Tatsuya Tanaka and his miniatures on a world tour - from Mount Fuji, the Sydney Opera House, to the Pyramids of Egypt - reimagined through Tatsuya Tanaka's original art style, Mitate. Mitate is the unique art form of reimaging well-know scenes and objects through simple, everyday objects. In this one-of-a-kind photography book, this playful artform reaches its imaginative heights as the best-known sightseeing spots are recreated using bookends, cocktails, souffle dishes, and even ramen. In a time when travel is expensive and journeying across the world seems like a choice for the select few, why not see what these countries have to offer through the eyes of one of Japan's most unique artists?
