Mukimono is the Japanese tradition of food carving, however, one artist has taken it to a whole other level.

Takehiro Kishimoto also known as Gaku, makes edible art; he uses fruits, vegetables and a sharp blade to make his creations. Although, his masterpieces look like they need a lot of time to be done, in reality, the whole process of carving happens in several minutes. When the first cut is made, the oxidation starts, turning the food brown, so Gaku needs to hurry up.

The artist seeks his inspiration from his everyday life and from the traditional Japanese motives as well. When he is done with his work, he takes a photo of his creation, and then eats it.

Check out his remarkable work below.
