We live in a world where we can clone animals, use a 3D printer to render functioning organs and send a picture of a willy halfway across the world with the push of a button – so what the hell is so amazing about a guy balancing some small rocks?
Meet artist Ishihana-Chitoku, who has turned the seemingly pointless task into an elevated art form. He has an entire catalogue filled with images of astounding balancing acts, and to be honest they are just a little bit cool.

When choosing his stones, Chitoku takes into consideration their color [sic], shape, and size. In their variety is a limitless amount of stacking combinations wherein Chitoku can explore different patterns and shapes. Chitoku says he’s particularly interested in the different kinds of silhouettes created when the sculptures are looked at as single entities, and how each arrangement decision he makes can drastically alter a sculptures’ contour.
Chitoku first selects the stone he wants to sit at the top of his piece. From there, he builds the image around it—think of it like decorating your christmas tree starting with the star at the top.
Take a look at him in action:
