A Japanese artist’s toys have been captivating people online, and it’s not hard to see why.
Haruki Nakamura uses a variety of mediums to create his masterpieces, and their detail and ingenuity push them beyond the average yo-yo or Beanie Baby – and attracted views in the millions on YouTube.
“I want to become standard,” Nakamura told the Press Association. “I want children 100 years later to play my work.”
Despite the pieces’ intricacy, Nakamura said creating the toys from his designs requires only “elementary school” ability – and he has posted videos showing how it’s done.
