Japonya’da bulunan Takashimaya mağazalar zincirinin 300 çalışanı geçen sene, yukarıdaki Mona Lisa’yı yapmak için toplam 320.000 eski tren bileti kullanmış. 2.3×1.6 metre büyüklüğündeki bu çalışmanın dışında Botticelli’nin Venüs’ün Doğuşu, Renoir’ın Dance at the Moulin de la Galette yapıtlarını da aynı şekilde yapmışlar.
Bu yıl ise 3.2×2.1 metre boyutunda Manga karakteri Astro Boy‘u toplam 138.000 Tokyo Metro biletiyle yapmışlar.
Employees at the Takashimaya department store in Osaka have created four reproductions of world-famous paintings using 320,000 old train tickets obtained from the nearby Nankai Namba station. The works, which include renditions of da Vinci’s Mona Lisa (2.3 x 1.6 meters) and the Birth of Venus, as well as Renoir’s Dance at the Moulin de la Galette, consist of “pixels” formed by overlapping the black and white tickets in intricate patterns.
A 3.2 x 2.1 meter (10 x 7 ft) work of Astro Boy pixel art made from 138,000 recycled Tokyo Metro tickets is on temporary display at the Shinjuku Takashimaya Department Store (2nd floor) to mark the opening of Tokyo’s new Fukutoshin subway line. Created by volunteers from Takashimaya and other Shinjuku-area businesses, the work depicts Astro Boy, Uran, Professor Ochanomizu and Higeoyaji (Mr. Mustachio) in Shinjuku along with the new Fukutoshin train.
