Meet Kakuho Fujii, a Japanese artist who creates tiny figures formed out or resin clay. He uses thin needle as his go-to tool and works with extreme precision with no room for error.

“It was by accident that I came up with the idea of creating these micro scale clay dolls. I just wondered to what extent I could reduce the size while keeping my own style of clay art. Currently 5mm diameter is sort of my comfort zone,” the clay artist told Living It.

Some of his works are as little as 2mm and it takes one day for Fujii to finish a single miniature artwork. Check out his amazing creations below.
