食物藝術雕刻家 佐藤朋子 — 日常蔬果化身不凡藝術品
日本藝術家 佐藤朋子(Tomoko Sato) 受到泰國傳統水果雕刻藝術的啟發，用日常食材製作出令人經驗的食物雕塑。透過手工雕刻以精心的紋路設計改造蘋果、西瓜、蕃薯、蘿蔔等等。 此外，從幾何圖形到精緻的模體，每件作品都是可食用的藝術品。
Inspired by the traditional art of Thai fruit carving, Tomoko Sato crafts incredible food sculptures from everyday ingredients. She transforms apples, watermelons, sweet potatoes, turnips, and more by meticulously hand-carving intricate designs on their surfaces. From geometric patterns to elaborate motifs, each piece is a work of edible art.
佐藤2004年去到泰國，在當地學會並磨練水果的雕刻技巧。這項傳統藝術最初是為了裝飾皇室的桌宴而進行的。然而，現今水果雕刻是許多美食愛好者的流行工藝，尤其於泰國新年（宋干節又名潑水節）慶祝活動期間。
Sato visited Thailand in 2004, where she learned to hone her fruit carving skills. The traditional art was originally practiced in order to decorate the banquet tables of the royal family. However, today, fruit carving is a popular craft for many food aficionados, especially during the Thai New Year (Songkran) celebrations.
水果和蔬菜的雕刻需要精湛的技巧、精確度和耐心，而佐藤顯然擁有這三項特質。 從佐藤豐富多元的作品集裡可見她無限的創造力和對工藝的熱情。她甚至在京都以及她的家鄉日本福井縣開班教授水果雕刻藝術。
Fruit and vegetable carving requires incredible skill, precision, and patience, and Sato clearly has all three. Her ever-growing portfolio showcases her boundless creativity and love for her craft. She even teaches others the art of fruit carving in Kyoto, as well as in her hometown of Fukui in Fukui Prefecture, Japan.
