For nearly a decade since the late 1970s artist Takanori Aiba worked as a maze illustrator for Japanese fashion magazine POPYE. The following decade he worked as an architect and finally in 2003 decided to merge the two crafts—the design of physical space and the drawing of labyrinths—into these incredibly detailed tiny worlds. Using craft paper, plastic, plaster, acrylic resin, paint and other materials Aiba constructs sprawling miniature communities that wrap around bonsai trees, lighthouses, and amongst the cliffs of nearly vertical islands. I would love to visit every single one of these places, if only I was 6 feet shorter. See more of Aiba’s work here.

And I also uploaded it as a print to redbubble in case anyone is in the mood to have it on their wall, or above their toilet or whatnot.
I will probably be slapping it on an iphone case later too, and then moving on to Sailor Moon R with some chibiusa action. The plan is to do each season, so we shall see where it takes me.
