  Tatsuya Tanaka admits that everyone has thoughts like his.

  
  
  "Everyone must have had similar thoughts at least once.
  Broccoli and parsley might sometimes look like a forest, or the tree leaves floating on the surface of the water might sometimes look like little boats," he says on his website.

  He tries to get his inspiration from regular things in our lives.

  
  
  "I wanted to take this way of thinking and express it through photographs, so I started to put together a “MINIATURE CALENDAR” These photographs primarily depict diorama-style figures surrounded by daily necessaries."
