Cardboard Playground installation by Eiji Hiyama.

When LMNOP attended the Baby & Kids Expo in Tokyo earlier this year, we had the pleasure of meeting acclaimed Japanese artist Eiji Hiyama. In our show highlights coverage we introduced you to Eiji’s new Danbou craft kits and we promised to share some of his other work with you. His cardboard installations (shown above) are regularly enjoyed by his many fans in Japan and he often runs art and craft workshops for his young followers.

Keen crafters can now create Eiji’s works of art at home by using the simple to use Danbou kit. Be inspired by more of this clever artist’s corrugated cardboard art here.
