There’s having a merry little Christmas. And then there’s having a truly tiny one. This miniature winter wonderland is made of a soap bar that can become a ski rink for those who stand just millimeters high.

Tatsuya Takaka is behind the whimsical creations. For ten year, she has made wintry dioramas using everyday objects.
As a child, the 40-year old father-of-2 first fell in love with scale when he was able to collect models to embellish toy railroad sets.
‘When I was young I didn’t have enough toys,’ he says. ‘Broccoli became trees and forest for my action figures to play in.’
The walls are now lined with shelves that hold 100,000 model kits.
The artist uses a 3D printer and hand-paints the model under magnifying glasses. He then positions it using a pair on tweezers.
His most loved snow scenes are those that transport people to another world of winter.
