Balloons have existed since prehistory. Of course, they looked and were made from different materials back then. The purpose of balloons has also changed. Before, people tried to fill various things with air as a sacrifice to the gods. Today, probably the first thought that comes to mind when imagining balloons is light floating objects for kids to enjoy.
Not only children love to play with balloons. These fun and colorful rubber sacks became a hobby for one Japanese artist named Ryo Kajiyama. He mastered the art of balloon twisting and now transforms popular cartoon and movie characters into inflatable sculptures! Who knows, maybe they're also a sacrifice for these pop culture icons.

Ryo started making balloon art in 2016 after seeing a street performance. He likes to surprise and entertain people. That's why he creates works that no one has ever seen, according to the artist.
He never has any plans on what to make next. The artist thinks of an idea while working on the balloons. In this way, he is not only surprising others but also himself.
