A short and fascinating video was recently featured in a viral tweet.

Due to a combination of Rob’s funny caption and the next-level work of the miniaturist, it really caught people’s imagination – picking up comments like these.

It turned out to be the work of a young Japanese artist, named Mozu – @rokubunnnoichi, on Twitter – who makes the most amazing miniatures we’ve ever seen.

We decided to investigate what else he’d done and found these stunning scenes from his ‘dwarf series’. We’ve included translations where necessary, but they may not be the best.
