(CNN) The body is the canvas as Hiroshi "Bak-san" Moriyama's wife Rika patiently daubs gold and green paint onto her husband's torso recreating the Australian rugby shirt on his front and back.
Ninety minutes later Bak-san's upper body is covered in a convincing imitation of the Wallabies shirt.
"It is difficult for Rika to do it," Bak-san told CNN Sport anchor Alex Thomas ahead of Australia's recent match against Wales, in praise of his wife.
Having already sported the painted kits of Japan, Wales, Argentina and Samoa, Bak-san has discovered that his body is turning heads at this year's Rugby World Cup.
"There was no reaction at the beginning, but when this World Cup started, everything changed," added Bak-san
