While going through her papa's old belongings, a young girl discovered something incredible - a mindbogglingly intricate maze that her father had drawn by hand almost 30 years ago.
While working as a school janitor, the father would come home each night and work on his side project. He spent over 7 years producing what is perhaps the most complicated, intricate maze. Once he was done he rolled it up and stored it away in his attic for it to be forgotten about... until now.
When the daughter discovered the maze she was dumbfounded. She posted pictures to twitter exclaiming, in confusion, "why couldn't he have channeled his talents to something more useful?"
Useful or not, we decided to partner with the father and daughter to bring you full-scale replicas of the maze. Even if you don't intend to solve it, the graphic quality of the creation makes for a stunning print!

Meet the artist: Preferring to remain somewhat anonymous, we know the artist only by the name K. Nomura. He currently resides in Japan and works as a public university janitor. Over thirty years ago he began working on a project that would encompass seven years of his life: an incredibly intricate maze. It was completed in 1983, at which point the artist stored it away in his attic. It was discovered last year in 2013 by his daughter. Read the original account of the story here.
