# Mundane Object Dioramas Tanaka Tatsuya's Miniature Dioramas are Created for Every Day of the Year By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-10-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniature-diorama References: [spoon-tamago](http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2014/08/05/artist-creates-miniature-dioramas-every-day-of-the-year/) & [miniature-calendar](http://miniature-calendar.com/) Artist Tanaka Tatsuya creates miniature dioramas out of mundane objects that one would find dispersed around their home. His 'Miniature Calendar' project transforms objects like toilet paper rolls, rulers and spoons into waterfalls, waves and steep ski hills. His dynamic sculptures are intricately constructed and are even made with fruit or vegetables that become trees and other objects within the artist's microscopic worlds. Illustrating imagination, the pieces catch one's eye and challenge perceptive notions. Tanaka Tatsuya's miniature dioramas are designed for every day of the [calendar year](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighthouse-calendar) and are uploaded to his [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world) account daily. The masterpieces are already a hit on social media sites and are inspiring others to find beauty in objects that would otherwise seem dull or mundane. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Miniature Dioramas:** Opportunity to develop new platforms showcasing miniature dioramas or creating miniatures in other aspects of life like home decor or gaming. - **Object Recreations:** Opportunity to create new art forms by recreating everyday objects into unique and creative dioramas. - **Transforming Mundane Objects:** Opportunity to find creativity and art in everyday objects through repurposing them into something more imaginative and appealing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Tanaka Tatsuya's miniature dioramas can inspire innovation in the art world to create new art forms or find new ways to repurpose objects. - **Home Decor:** Creating miniature dioramas can inspire innovation in the home decor industry to introduce unique and creative pieces that center around everyday objects. - **Gaming:** Miniature dioramas can provide a basis for new ideas within the gaming industry.
