Why You'll Love It

This beautifully composed artisan meal vignette by Tomo Tanaka of Nunu’s House captures the warmth of a simple rustic lunch in exquisite 1:12 scale. Arranged on a weathered wooden serving board, the scene features a tiny pitcher and glass of iced tea or lemonade, a comforting bowl of soup resting on a scrap of baker’s paper, a set of rustic fork and knife, and an assortment of freshly baked hand-sculpted bread rolls. The textures and coloring of each element—from the golden bread crusts to the crystalline drink—demonstrate the remarkable realism that has made Tomo Tanaka one of the most celebrated miniature artists in Japan. This charming piece would look wonderful on a dollhouse kitchen table, in a miniature café setting, or styled within a cozy country kitchen vignette.

Tomo Tanaka is internationally celebrated for his Nunu’s House miniature food creations, widely regarded among collectors as some of the most realistic and meticulously handcrafted miniature foods in the world. Each piece is sculpted entirely by hand using clay and mixed media, with careful attention given to color variation, texture, and proportion. Because his work is rarely distributed outside Japan, Tanaka’s creations are highly sought after on the secondary market.
