Let it Burn

Another interesting Japanese artist, Wataru Ito. He spent over four years constructing this:


Yup, that's right. An entire cityscape constructed with only paper, craft glue, hole puncher and a knife. I have to say, Japanese people are pretty patient and take big pride at what they do. Just like the artist in my previous blog, Kenji also spent weeks for his stencils and their complex art clearly show how much time they spend on it.

Currently, the city art is being exhibited on an artificial island of Umihotaru, near Tokyo, Japan. And what is Wataru planning on doing with his city art after the exhibition? Burn it down, of course. Crazy, huh? Four years commitment and to end it like that. I guess the burning part is also art.
