Why You'll Love It
This detailed early Nunu’s House baking vignette by Tomo Tanaka captures a lively bakery prep scene in 1:12 scale. A wooden counter with yellow drawer sits on a patterned base, with crates of cookbooks and linens below.
The metal worktop holds a red scale, bowls, tools, and freshly made bread and bagels, all fixed in place with striking realism. Never displayed, with original box, it’s a perfect centerpiece for a bakery or kitchen vignette.
Tomo Tanaka of Nunu’s House is internationally renowned for hyper-realistic miniature food scenes, among the finest in the world. His work is entirely hand-sculpted and rarely distributed outside Japan, making each piece highly sought after by collectors.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
