Why You'll Love It
This exceptional artisan bakery worktable by Tomo Tanaka (Nunu’s House) captures a quiet prep station scene in 1:12 scale. A wooden butcher’s block with metal top is arranged with a sliced bread loaf, cheese, herbs, and a small glass, while a hanging spoon and draped towel add lifelike detail.
Lower shelves hold mixing bowls, cartons, and bagels, all fixed in place for a richly layered still life. Perfect for a bakery or kitchen vignette.
Tomo Tanaka 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
