(CNN) — It's easy to see why Takehiro Kishimoto, chef by day and food carving Instagrammer by night, has amassed a huge social media following.
The Kobe-based Japanese chef has long been practicing mukimono -- the Japanese art of carving decorative food garnishing.
Thai fruit carving is a traditional art that's been around for centuries, originating in royal households.
The chef founded Instagram account Gaku Carving i in 2016 to document his food carving journey.
