Description: Description Diatoms are algae with shells made of glass. It is said that there are tens of thousands of species in the world, and diatoms can be found anywhere there is water, such as the ocean, rivers, and puddles. However, it is so small that we usually do not notice it. Osamu Oku, one of only a few diatom art artists in the world, collects such diatoms from nature and arranges them to create works of art. The size of a diatom shell is around one-tenth of a millimeter. He creates works by manipulating tools made from eyelashes and needle tips while looking through a microscope. In order to freely manipulate this tiny piece of glass, the wife's life is stoically managed, including food, clothing, and shelter. Eliminate invisible dust and dirt floating in the air, and cut out sweets so that the hands that line the diatoms won't tremble at all... Eliminate countless things you shouldn't do from your life. The work is finally completed. The ultimate beauty of a microscopic world that cannot be seen with the naked eye is achieved by mastering the craftsmanship of a craftsman.
