Here’s another artist who never listened to his mom when she told him not to play with his food. Gaku, the talented mind and hands behind these incredible creations, practices a traditional Japanese art form of fruit and vegetable carving, Mukimono. The word translates literally to “stripped product”, and is named for the intricate patterns and designs inscribed on these delicious canvases.
First practiced in 16th Century Japan, this art form is now a steadfast part of many different Southeast Asian culinary cultures. The speed required to practice this art, given how quickly most fruits and vegetables begin to decompose, makes creating these pieces all the more difficult. This skillful artist always captures a picture of his work after completion, before quickly devouring them! Here are 18 tasty treats, courtesy of Gaku.
