Yoshitoshi Kanemaki is crafting art like I’ve never seen.

It is one thing to sculpt a masterpiece, but in his workings, Yoshitoshi creates several within one. A double/triple/numerous masterpiece, if you will. Yoshitoshi is inspired by the contradicitions in our bodies, thoughts, and life paralleled with death. Much of his work shows us how death and mortality is so infinitely entangled in everything we do, because no matter how powerful our minds are, or how young we are, we are still our bodies. It’s a very frightning, twisted aspect to take in, but something about it is absolutely intruiging.

What strikes me the most about Yoshitoshi’s sculpting isn’t just the doubleness of it (which is captivating enough,) but also the detail he puts into every facet of the piece. I swear, you could put mirrors into the edges of these faces, and what he’s created will look just the same. Consider  me blown away.
I don’t know how you do it, Yoshitoshi, but keep doing it!
