“I like sushi” is a photoblog that I like to visit. Some of the images seems to be personally taken, others are sushi images I too have seen around online.
It was on this photo blog that I found the last “Sushi cake”, and this one is just as impressive. It really does not look like sushi. Looks yummy, though. Hungry now…

More people obsessed with making sushi out of other things than rice and fish… Here is another one I found on Craftster.com - who made some sushi out of polymer clay for her mom for her birthday. She says:

I am in the sushi cake mood these days. Gotten to be a visual sweet tooth. The guys at the Evil Mad Scientist Lab made their dessert to look like sushi and a lot of it too! Impressive!
To make this dessert sushi they used a simple white cake in the bottom, sliced to look like little cakes of rice. For wasabi, they used hard icing with a little bit of green food color added, and the the seaweed (nori) wrapper is made of something called “Fruit by the foot,”. The toppings include thin sliced twizzlers, miniature jawbreakers (as roe), and Swedish Fish (gummy fish?). From their description of the process:

What?? Ken Kawasumi was doing Kazari maki-zushi IN NORWAY??? Nooooooo… That hurts. I would have loved to be there! Luckily someone videotaped it.
The artist here, ~Zeanu, calls this his infamous Sushi pic.
“Just showin’ me all frollic amidst flying winged sushi rolls… done with ballpoint, touched it up a bit in Photoshop.”
I get the feeling that he is fighting evil sushi in a nightmare. The rolls is not necessarily that evil, their wings are quite friendly looking, but they come off as very aggressive. And he’s not too fond of them. Maybe he has had too much sushi lately?
He made two versions of it. One in color and one in black and white. I like them:
I like cakes. Cakes made to look like sushi is even better! This “cake” for instance - is covered in buttercream frosting, it has fondant for the wasabi, chopsticks, platter seaweed and the “fish” sits on top of molded rice crispy treats. The soy sauce is chocolate syrup with a little bit of crushed nuts on top, orange gel frosting for the caviar and the sushi rolls are sliced Twinkies filled with sliced strawberries and kiwis. The outside of the rolls are made of fondant which is then rolled in green sugar confetti for shine. The ginger is colored white chocolate flakes. Fantastic! Great imagination. Here are some more sushi inspired cakes:

I really get to stretch my Japanese in this video. Ahh. I love kazari maki-zushi!
This just looks so simple, but is so beautiful! And really - it is NOT that easy either. I have tried…
March 3rd is a traditional celebration day of girls called “Hina-matsuri in Japan.” The color of pink symbolizes the day and in department stores, everything turns pink and you can find colorful dolls for sale.
Here are some dolls that I found on PingMag, which is meant to be the emperor and empress having a relaxed sushi! Very elaborate as fits an Emperor! Imagine having these as a kid. Ooooh.

These pictures I found on Flickr were taken during something called they called “Freestyle sushi master competition”, on December 6th 2005. It looks fun! I think I will have to hold a local version of this in Oslo very soon! Who would want to participate? 
A beautiful picture of the Yamada father and son. The photograph is taken by Bruce Osborn, who has a wonderful series of photographs of parents and children called Oyako.
In 1993 Noriko Kuwabara started making sushi clocks. She thought she could just buy small sushi pieces and glue on a sushi tray, but ended up having to make every piece by hand.
Another Kazari maki-zushi video. This time it is the legendary Ken Kawasumi who makes Anpanman! Just ignore the music… Ahh. The skills!
As you probably have understood - I adore Sushi Art! Look at it! It is absolutely amazing! I found these Kazari Maki-zushi images when I went looking for sushi art. The Japan Foundation in Sydney Australia had an event about kazari maki-zushi this summer.
I find Sake labels very beautiful. I found an image from “The Book of Sake: A Connoisseur’s Guide
