The many tricks that would be familiar to residents of the province have received comments such as, "It's so relaxing," and "It brings back memories.
If you look closely, you can see an empty beer mug and a duck made of hand towels, and you can also sense the warm story behind the works.
The creator of the miniatures that make you feel the love is "ao, a miniature shop that loves Hokkaido," a Hokkaido native and resident of the Kanto region. Why did he start making miniatures of Hokkaido's food?

What inspired you to start making miniatures?
I could not forget the fun I had when I created a miniature grocery store as a free research project during summer vacation in elementary school.

That was the beginning of my recreation of my favorite Hokkaido food.

Ao's desire to "express the charm of Hokkaido in miniature" in her work
I left my beloved Hokkaido when I got married. At first, I was nostalgic for my hometown with miniatures of Hokkaido, but now I am creating miniatures with the desire to contribute to my beloved hometown by expressing the charm of Hokkaido in miniature.
I would be happy if people who have left their beloved Hokkaido as I did, people who love Hokkaido, and people who see my miniatures can feel a little warmth in their hearts.
Her works, which are overflowing with love for Hokkaido, have been spreading, and recently she has been collaborating with companies in Hokkaido to produce her works! We look forward to seeing more of your work and the miniatures you create in the future.
