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!

Hello Kitty - of course

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.
