Kosuke Sato works as a tombstone salesman in Chiba Precfecture in Japan, assuaging the morbid concerns of his day job by creating miniature restaurant and bartending dioramas for Ginji (the handsome chap at the top) and other members of his collection of adorable hamsters.

A “bathtub ring,” or bright margin, around Kraken Mare — the sea containing the reflected sunglint — indicates that the sea was larger at some point, but evaporation has decreased its size.

Naturally, he has a blog and a YouTube channel.
