In this one-of-a-kind photography book, this playful artform reaches its imaginative heights as the best-known sightseeing spots are recreated using bookends, cocktails, souffle dishes, and even ramen. In a time when travel is expensive and journeying across the world seems like a choice for the select few, why not see what these countries have to offer through the eyes of one of Japan's most unique artists? There are sure to be more than a few laughs to be found along the way!
