Ito Hirotoshi’s stone sculptures are meant to delight and amuse. His well-practiced carving skills get a workout combining everyday, mundane items in new and unusual ways to create sculptures that demand a second look. If you laugh, if you reach out to touch with a youthful giggle or squeal, if you walk away smiling and uplifted by his clever interpretation, then his work is done.
