The contents of the little containers depicted above and below are so petite you need a magnifying glass to actually see what objects they are supposed to be. And prepare to be amazed once you take a magnified peek because every little jar has a tiny world of brilliance sitting inside. One world shows a couple kissing under a tree, another shows a turtle on an island, and a third shows a golf course with one itsy-bitsy golfer playing a round; maybe he&#8217;s a Lilliputian.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>These jars are the incredible work of Japanese architect Akinobu. His wonderful designs are so tiny it&#8217;s unbelievable. One would imagine he uses tweezers to fit the materials inside, but how does he shape and so intricately design the palm trees and the people? That&#8217;s definitely a mystery.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10188\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10188\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10188\" title=\"mini-art-in-jar-14\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mini-art-in-jar-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mini-art-in-jar-14.jpg 550w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mini-art-in-jar-14-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10188\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I&#39;d like to be in an octopuses&#39; garden in a jar.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_10187\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10187\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10187\" title=\"mini-art-in-jar-12\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mini-art-in-jar-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mini-art-in-jar-12.jpg 550w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mini-art-in-jar-12-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10187\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I think I see Ben Stiller in that bottle over there.
