Brilliant Ideas S01E68 - Takahiro Iwasaki

Takahiro Iwasaki is best known for his detailed miniature landscapes, made from found materials such as toothbrushes, books, flags and used clothing – even hair. Takahiro's work is very much a reflection of his relationship with Japan, having grown up in Hiroshima. His works, while whimsical, are melancholy, reflecting Japan's past trauma, both historically and more recently with the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
