Known for his popular papercraft robot figures, Japanese artist Tomohiro Yasui (@kami_robo_yasui) sometimes makes time to sculpt impressive figures from other surprising sources--such as when he combined seven rubber duckies into one super duck action figure.

So while it's never a surprise to see the talented sculptor put together awesome robots and figures, he's recently made quite a few jaws drop on Twitter by taking up the challenge of making a variation of Jomon pottery. Jomon pottery is the ancient earthenware pottery of Japan's prehistoric Jomon Period (14,000 BCE-300 BCE), characterized by cord-marking, with perhaps earthenware dogu figures like below being one of the best known examples:

It's not making a Jomon pottery sculpture that has many on Twitter amazed, however. It's what the papercraft artist decided to make one out of. That's because Yasui has transformed the packaging of store-bought tofu into an imposing Jomon sculpture!

If you look closely, Yasui has pressed clay into the containers tofu is packaged in and sold in at supermarkets, and taken advantage of the indents in each package to make patterns similar to those found in Jomon pottery. While assembling the packaging into a figure it impressive enough, it's a very clever way of adding an ancient aesthetic to the figure using something found lying around the house. That's exactly what Yasui set out to day, as the artist says that they wanted to craft a dogu figure using something found in everyday life!

The figure has really wowed a lot of people on Twitter, with some saying they'd have no idea it wasn't a 100% ceramics work without being told about the tofu packaging, and appreciating the ingenuity behind the project. Hopefully Yasui uses his talents to turn even more everyday items into sculptures like this!
