Tomoko herself shared how she comes up with new and fresh ideas for her designs: “I often come up with ideas while grocery shopping, but sometimes I start with a motif I want to create and then look for the ingredients.

Tomoko wrote: “I love themes related to Japan’s four seasons, as well as events like Christmas and Halloween.” “All of my art is created with the intention of being eaten. I don’t use unnatural coloring, and I simply add a creative touch to everyday foods. Sometimes, I create pieces that I even feel like keeping as decorations, but after taking a photo, we eat them as usual. My goal is for everyone to enjoy and have fun while eating my creations,” explained Tomoko. “I am very happy that so many people get to see my work. I also learned that the Japanese characters I use as motifs are very popular worldwide, which makes me proud as a Japanese person,” Tomoko expressed her happiness. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
