Keeping the Japanese Art of Candy Sculpting Alive | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
At 27 years old, Shinri Tezuka may be one of the youngest people still practicing the dwindling art of amezaiku, or candy crafting, in Japan. The self-taught Japanese artist carves, sculpts and paints delicate lollipops into intricate edible sculptures. Amezaiku dates back hundreds of years, but today there are only two artists left in Tokyo. Tezuka hopes his elaborate goldfish, frog and octopus designs will inspire the next generation of candy crafters to keep the tradition alive.

Such an incredible skill. I couldn't imagine putting so much effort into creating something so beautiful only to hand it over to someone who'll just eat it though. That must take a special kind of mindset.

Hey guys, I just researched online (from multiple sources), it shows that candy sculpting is actually from China. They started in the middle dynasties times, which is earlier than the Japanese. So wouldn't this be the Chinese's ancient craft?
