Sushi Art

When you eat sushi, do you think of it as a piece of art or just a tasty snack? Well, a famous Japanese Chef Ken Kawasumi has turned sushi into works of art! In fact, some of his work looks just too beautiful to eat!

 Here are some other examples of sushi art:
Hello Kitty - of course

Pirate sushi

Pandas and vegies!

Koala sushi

And of course, Finding Nemo
This sushi was actually crocheted with wool, so it is not for eating

In Japan, you can even buy sushi toys for your dog.

Another sushi chef?

へのへのもへじ


へのへのもへじ is the name given to a Japanese face drawn using Japanese hiragana characters, made popular by Japanese school children.
However, it is not necessary to use only those characters. Any characters can be used to create the face.


This face is へめへめもこも

What characters can you find in this face?

And of course, the faces do not necessarily have to be human! Try to recognise all the characters in this cat.


Try to work out what characters have been used to draw these cats.

After you have finished the face, you can add hair to make your face even more realistic

You can change the shape of the characters and add things, such as eyes!

Then it's time to add a body to your character.


へのへのもへじ is a fun way of creating cartoon characters!
