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.
He also keeps miniature ferrets, but they tend to occupy low-level administrative or accounting positions within the group.
More rodentine barista action at Sato’s blog.

We recently published a video portraying some of the best areas in Dublin in an effort to promote the beauty of the city. The video has been reviewed as “heart-warming” and “uplifting” and reminds people both at home and abroad of the carefree nature of the Irish and wonders of our capital. We are very proud of both Dublin and of this video showcasing many beautiful scenes and sights of the city and feel that it should be shared with the Irish and our international friends.

Shot “in the style of Bloody Sunday (2002) and The Battle of Algiers (1996)”!
Six Days of The Rising will recreate “this epic fight for independence and the destruction of Dublin onscreen as never before seen”.
“Recreating the Dublin of 1916 will require the representation of the city before and after the immense destruction. The city is a character in the film and we believe that accuracy in the geography and look of the building is essential. To enable this we intend to create a very large exterior stage with the appropriate cobblestone street and lower level structure combined with 100ft high blue/green screen backgrounds, and composite authentic models of the surrounding buildings in the various stages of destruction. Rather than focusing on the leaders of the uprising, we will portray the events from the perspective of a man whose journey across the barricaded city brings him in contact with both sides of the conflict. We will bring a level of authenticity to the production that like The Summit, puts you firmly on the ground during the extraordinary events of Easter 1916”.
Nicky Ryan, Sundance Festival winning director of The Summit (2012).
FIGHT!
