I found a llink his woman who loves making things from felt, and have been concentrating on making felt sushi. In the images you can see tuna, salmon, tamago, fish roe gunkan maki, a kind of futo maki and an inside-out California roll with black sesame seeds. Kawaii!

This adorable old Japanese woman is 84 years old, and has been making nori maki since she was a little girl. Here she shows how to make saikuzushi, or festival sushi. This is considered an art form where rice is tinted different colors, sectioned off and rolled. When it is sliced, complex images are created. They say in this story that in that area, if a girl can’t make more than three of these rolls, she can’t marry!
Making saikuzushi is really hard, I have tried a couple of times and just gotten frustrated and the patterns have turned out looking nothing like art. I guess it takes a lot of practice. Good thing I am already married! ![]()

Since I am quite into poetry myself, I wanted to see if sushi had inspired anyone to become especially eloquent.
I found this Sushi Haiku by Franz L Kessler. While traditional hokku/haiku focused on nature and the place of humans in nature, modern haiku poets often consider any subject matter suitable, whether related to nature, an urban setting, or even a technological context.

Is it Windows loading sushi - or sushi loading Windows?
This is an old image, I know, but it is still really funny, so I wanted it on here too. I think I want to add a category that I will call bento box art! I love the creativity that goes into a lot of these peoples lunch boxes! This is my first post in that category and is one lunch box that must have taken a while to make. If I were Bill Gates I would have been very proud! He inspired to food art!

Now this is the way that sushi instructions should be handed down. Instead of on a computer or through a video, having a good friend that sits down and hand draws for you really how to do it, illustrating it even, so to make it a collectable work of art. One is of making different types of nigiri and maki sushi and the other is of how to make sushi rice. They are just so inspiring!

I get very inspired by looking at some of the creations of the sushi chefs, and I think that sushi, when presented well, is art. Just very temporary type art. That is - if you don’t photograph them. I want to get better at that. But - I found these fantastic photos on Flickr from a guy who has made sushi into what you would see in a kaleidoscope! It is just such an adorable idea!
