The Japanese Museum of Rocks That Look Like Faces

japanese like look museum Other rocks that

Two hours northwest of Tokyo in Chichibu, there is a museum of rocks called Chinsekikan where you won’t learn a thing about geology. However, you’ll do spend a few delightful hours marveling at strange exhibits such as the Elvis Presley rock, the Boris Yeltsin rock, the Jesus rock, the Nemo rock and the Donkey Kong rock.

Chinsekikan, which means “hall of curious rocks”, features over 1700 specimens. About 900 of them resemble human faces. These unaltered rocks naturally resemble celebrities, religious figures, movie characters, and more.

The museum was started by avid collector, Shozo Hayama, who spent 50 years collecting naturally eroded rocks that looked like faces. Mr. Hayama passed away in 2010, and the museum is now run by his wife

Japanese Mom Bakes Awesome Bread Inspired By Her Kid’s Drawings And Nature

Japanese Mom Bakes Awesome Bread Inspired By Her Kid’s Drawings And Nature

Art awesome bakes bread inspired japanese kids

This bread will definitely make you re-think the whole no carbs diet thing. Tokyo-based baker under the name of Konel Bread hides beautiful art inside loaves of bread. Inspired by her son's drawings and nature designs, you can find everything from flowers to fruit to her son's drawings inside the loaves of bread. The best part? These artistic masterpieces are made with natural flavours and colors, such as spinach, cocoa, and beetroot.

It's not completely clear how she makes this artistic bread, but it's something like rolling deco-sushi - long pieces of colored dough are carefully positioned and then rolled into a round loaf. But let's not forget that the dough eventually puffs up into larger shapes as it bakes, so the baker needs to plan ahead for the way the dough expands. Bread has never been so charming!

Japanese Photographer Documents The Many Faces of Tokyo’s Stray Cats (10+ Pics)

Animals documents faces japanese many photographer

With his pictures, Japanese photographer Masayuki Oki captures the individual personalities of the many otherwise anonymous stray cats that live in Tokyo's shitamachi area. His collection might be called busayan, which literally means "ugly cat", but the photographer has nothing but affection for his moggie muses.

“I want to travel the country photographing all of Japan’s lovely stray cats,” says the photographer. For now however he limits his setting to the shitamachi area of the capital, where he documents the streetwise cats as they fight, nap, and goof around for the camera. The photographer never reveals the exact location of his feline photoshoot, but if you want to keep up to date with his latest photographic exploits then you can add your name to the 48,000+ people who follow him on Instagram.
