The Art of Sushi (寿司)

Japanese culture is full of iconic items, ranging from samurai swords to Pokémon, but perhaps one of the best known and most popular creations to come out of Japan is sushi. Though dishes like poke have become popular in recent years, nothing quite matches traditional nigiri and maki.

For this challenge I built a shrimp tempura maki roll, a spicy tuna maki roll, a salmon nigiri, and an egg nigiri. Additional builds include a small dish of wasabi, an elevated bamboo base, a set of lacquered chopsticks, and a small bonsai tree.

I hope you enjoy!
