Japanese artist Takahiro Shibata's glasses fog up because of his face mask — a problem familiar to many spectacles wearers during the coronavirus pandemic.
But Shibata has turned the annoying side effect into a one-of-a-kind piece of art. The more his glasses fog up, the hotter and steamier the noodle soup on his “ramen mask” appears to be.
The 3D ramen mask, made from felt and clay, has everything you'd want in a real bowl of the noodle soup. Shibata's nose disappears into chashu braised pork, green onions, bamboo shoots, and a slice of fish cake.
Shibata has no plans to sell the mask but he may not be wearing it for much longer either.
“The 'bowl' is filled with cotton and it weighs almost as much as a stuffed toy,” he said. — Reuters
