They are the brainchild of Japanese sushi chef Okitsugu Kado who spends more than ten hours carving the vegetables before painstakingly piecing them together.
‘I’m a huge Star Wars fan and a member of a Japanese fan group called Jedi Order.
‘For my carvings I use everything from carrots, white radish, sweet potato, Kyo-potato, radish, even pumpkin and more.
Despite his carvings taking a number of hours, he admits to getting lost in a galaxy far, far away with time passing without him even realising.
‘Sometimes I need over ten hours to finish just one sculpture but it doesn’t matter to me because during carving I forget the time,’ said the 39-year-old, who works at sushi bistro Minayoshi.
‘I just want to see people smile – that is why I carve.’
