The images warranting such astonishment and praise, along with nearly 56,000 likes at the time of writing, were posted by Twitter user TAKAPAINT (@tkc_sa).

Please take a look and see for yourself:

At first, it looks like a very normal scene from a residential area. There's a concrete block wall with regularly spaced wave-pattern 'breeze blocks' as are common in Japan, a road with part of a sign written on it saying "stop" in Japanese.. But when you turn your attention to the right of the photo, you'll see something odd. There are giant human fingers holding a brush!

As it turns out, this is a diorama that TAKAPAINT is working on.

It's so realistic that the big hand in the upper right corner takes you by surprise!

Complete with weeds on the inside of the wall and manholes and gutters on the road side, this diorama is so elaborate and realistic that you can't believe your eyes. To add to the realism, TAKAPAINT was painting darker touches near the bottom of the wall, reproducing the dirtied look which comes from dirt and exhaust fumes.

TAKAPAINT is going to finish the wall to make it look as if weeds are growing along the base on the road side.

When it's finished, it will surely be a masterpiece. Follow his Twitter account for updates!
