Japanese YouTuber Hanabira Kobo doesn't just craft high quality dioramas, but creates stunning dioramas that somehow both mimic Japanese landscapes with uncanny detail and also resemble living, breathing fantasy worlds.

On their YouTube channel, Hanabira Kobo posts almost ASMR-like soothing instruction videos that detail their charming DIY miniature crafting process. For instance, they turn a dusty Sylvanian Families doll house into an amazing home, handcrafting its decoration, including an aquarium and the fish that swim in it, from scratch!

What is unique about the works of Hanabira Kobo is that they use many materials that can be found in 100 yen stores.

The following work is a fantasy cafe based on a poster frame sold at a 100 yen store.

For a full blown and creative fantasy creation, take a look at this mind-blowing diorama and humidifier hybrid they made inspired by the scenery found in hit anime and manga Dr. Stone!

Hanabira Kobo doesn't just take inspiration from the world of fiction, however, some of her miniature works recreate landscapes found in Japan down to the very last detail, such as this roadside vending machine that even comes with a trashcan.

Or a nostalgic store where you scoop out goldfish (a common practice at Japanese summer festivals) to take home as pets.

You can follow Hanabira Kobo on YouTube and Twitter for even more amazing dioramas, as well as keep an eye on their upcoming works collection book to be released this month, available on Amazon.
