Amezaiku
Amezaiku is the Japanese art of candy, or "candy craft". Similarly to glass art, Amezaiku is created by heating sugar to a malleable temperature and then shaped, pulled, and stretched into beautiful and often intricate works of art. Common creations include insects, animals, and nature. Artists use their hands, along with special scissors, tweezers, and other tools in the shaping of Amezaiku. Amezaiku can even be seen in the streets, as artists sometimes tell a story with their art pieces or simply create the pieces in front of intrigued crowd. Children especially love seeing the artists at work, with favorite designs like dragons and other mythical creatures. People pick the design they want and are delighted to watch the artist quickly mold the pieces into shape.
