Whimsy.

I’m not quite sure if I could define the term, but it has something to do with unseriousness and a purposelessness. Whatever “whimsy” is, it defines a real sense of play for the sake of play.

Tanaka makes miniature art that is inventive and perspective-shifting. Not unlike tilt-shifted film, he creates a world that looks like it is part of a children’s book or a Sesame Street short.

Simply put––they are delightful.
