Train Runs through Satoyama! (Video produced by Sakatsu Gallery)


The work of Yoshiaki Ishikawa, popular for his dioramas of kawaii trains running through a fantastical world.
1The scene of a nostalgic limited express train running is reproduced in a collection arch wide L-shaped case from Daiso, a 100 JPY store.
The small size allows for easy placement, and the case prevents dust and damage for long-term enjoyment.
Ishikawa's style is to keep it looking good even though it is tiny. There are mountains, tunnels, waterfalls, railroad bridges, farmhouses, and many other fun elements! If you look closely, you can see some people taking pictures of express trains along the line.

Satoyama
Once upon a time in Japan, the scarcity of easily settled flat land led to ingenious local adaptations for farming and living in remote mountainous areas. Such villages were called yamasato, and the fields and forests surrounding them were called satoyama.


Note: We recommend the use of the special vehicles provided to run the rails on the work.
