Hirotoshi Ito | Laughing Stone

by Johnny on October 7, 2011

I do wish I had $1500 because I would definitely buy Hirotoshi Ito’s stone sculpture “Laughing Stone.” How amazingly creepy yet enchanting! It would be hard to resist strategically placing it a garden somewhere for a priceless practical joke.

Hirotoshi Ito is a stone sculptor who is represented by the Keiko Gallery but also sells his work through the newly launched website ichii – a global marketplace for handmade Japanese goods. The stone reminds me of this old Japanese cartoon character.
