Ukiyo-e is coming out of a hole in the ground!

An idea that will make you want to snap a photo! Ukiyo-e emerging from a hole in the ground! When we think of trick art, we often picture installations where people can step into the artwork and take photos, but there are also designs that stand on their own as art.

This time, let’s wow visitors with a unique idea using ukiyo-e.

In the posted photos, the design makes it look as if there’s a hole in the ground.

Inside the hole, along with oden, there’s a man bracing himself so he doesn’t fall into the pot where the oden is boiling.

Be sure to give it a try!

Mouth of Truth

Capture unforgettable photos! Here are some Mouth of Truth ideas.

When you think of the film Roman Holiday, many of you probably recall the Mouth of Truth.

Displayed inside the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, the Mouth of Truth is a famous sculpture you’ll want to see when you visit Rome, Italy.

In the movie, there’s a scene where if someone who is lying puts their hand into the Mouth of Truth, it bites down and they can’t pull it out—perfect inspiration for a playful trick-photo recreation of that iconic moment.

I’m trapped!?

You can take photos even with a large group! Here’s an idea for a “We’re trapped?!” shot.

When photographing trick art, sometimes only one person can appear due to how the setup works.

This time, let’s create a trick art piece that four people can shoot together.

In the posted photo, the subjects are photographed inside a capsule labeled “For Humans, Mini Machine,” making it look as if they’ve been trapped.

In the foreground, there’s also someone who has discovered the people trapped inside, which adds a unique and entertaining storyline.

lift heavy things

With its overwhelming artistic skill, this trick art transports viewers into a mysterious world.

This interactive gimmick uses hyper-realistic drawings to create a fun illusion that makes the person standing in front look incredibly strong—perfect for a school cultural festival.

By carefully depicting large, heavy, three-dimensional objects or a super-muscular person that one normally couldn’t lift, you can skillfully heighten the strangeness of the scene.

The key to drawing muscles is balance and silhouette.

Adjust the spot where the person will stand as you draw, and render it carefully.

Pop-out letters

[Trick Art] How to Make 'Don!!' Float — How to Draw 3D Floating Letters

This is a 3D trick that makes the letters appear to float—enough to make viewers go “hmm.” First, use one-point perspective to draw the letters at angles that look like they’re spreading out from a single point.

Carefully draw the letters with a ruler, and clearly separate the dark and light areas.

Another key is to smudge the shadow underneath to blur it.

Connect it with the lower part, cut out the letters, and you’re done.

When displaying, leave a little space between the piece and the wall to enhance the three-dimensional effect even more.
