Japanese Sashimi Chef Turns Fish into Art
Nationwide Entertainment Stayhome | 2020.05.04 |
This sashimi art is like nothing you've ever seen before, and it's delicious to boot.
In Japan and all over the world, artists have been painting pictures and creating art with a variety of materials since time immemorial. But one unique artist has drawn the attention of internet users across the country with the use of a particularly unusual medium. Presented on round, rusticly-textured traditional Japanese plates, this sashimi art uses tuna, salmon, octopus, and more as its palette, creating some pretty fishy pieces.
The artist behind all this is Twitter user Mikyoui (@mikyoui00), who buys fish from the market and uses an eye for design and some masterful knife skills to turn them into sophisticated works of art. The second a new plate is uploaded onto Twitter, followers flock to comment on it, admiring the skill and beauty of the art.

- In an interview the artist has said that they learned the techniques used for this sashimi art when they studied the beautiful ways that fugu (ふぐ, blowfish) is arranged, but since they don't have a license to work with fugu (which requires years of training to prepare safely), they work with other kinds of fish instead. It certainly makes for a more colorful palette than the translucent white flesh of fugu! Mikyoui has been posting all kinds of colorful work, and with the traction their Disney princesses have been getting, it's no surprise that the comments are littered with things like "with the DVD of Frozen 2 coming out soon, I'd love if you'd make Anna and Elsa!"
