Why You'll Love It
This wonderfully detailed artisan bakery display set by Tomo Tanaka of Nunu’s House captures the inviting atmosphere of a small neighborhood bakery in remarkable 1:12 scale. Arranged on a sleek black wooden display base, the set includes a charming Nunu’s House wall sign, a miniature A-frame bakery sign, and six exquisitely hand-sculpted clay breads. The assortment features rustic loaves including a bread boule sliced in half to reveal the airy crumb, along with several other golden artisan breads designed to be displayed individually within your miniature scenes. Each piece showcases the hyper-realistic textures and warm baked tones that have made Tomo Tanaka one of the most admired miniature artists in Japan. This versatile set is perfect on a dollhouse bakery counter, in a miniature market display, or styled as a storefront bread presentation in a café 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.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
