But have you ever wondered how more modern forms of art, such as plastic figures, cosplay, and accessory-making, are achieved? Thanks to a new hashtag that’s been gaining traction on Twitter, users now have the opportunity to see how a little bit of material and a whole lot of skill can go a long way.
The hashtag #koregakounattekouja, which roughly translates in #thisgoesfromthistothis is the newest trend on Twitter, inspiring Japanese artisans to show off how they use simple materials into create some pretty amazing contemporary art in just a handful of steps.
Not only are users enjoying the sudden burst of creativity on their Twitterfeed, it’s been a great chance for local artists to gain more followers and exposure, too.
