What makes Fukahori’s works so amazing, however, isn’t the containers they reside in, it’s the technique he uses. He creates these hyper-realistic sculptures of swimming goldfish by a slow and meticulous process. First, he pours a layer of resin, lets it dry, and then paints a small portion of the fish on top it, lets it dry, and then pours another layer of resin, repeating this process until he makes a three-dimensional representation of a goldfish.

This video gives you a glimpse of his amazing painting process.
