Kazuki Yamamoto is a Japanese barista who constructs eye-popping works of 3D art using just foam and coffee.

Try Asking for One of These at Starbucks.
Within the six years, Yamamoto has been working at a
coffee shop in Osaka. He's racked up more than
100,000 Twitter followers obsessed with his latte art.

He's Like Picasso on Speed.
Yamamoto must work quickly to satisfy customers' desires
for a fresh cup of coffee. He claims he completes
each work of art in under four minutes, so the
coffee is still hot when he serves it.

Sometimes One Cup Is Not Enough Some of
his creations even climb out of their cups and
reach out to others.

Fans Say He's Also a Real Nice Guy.
In the past, he's created latte portraits of his
Twitter followers. This is Twitter fan Peter
Harrison, before his latte transformation.

And Here He is After.

Mr. Yamamoto says he uses two very
common objects -- a spoon and a
toothpick -- to create all of his art. He
pours the foam in first, then uses the toothpick
to paint with espresso and the spoon to create
shapes.

Come On In! The water's...well, the
water's actually coffee. But
it sure is nice and toasty in here.

The Philosophy Behind Ephemeral Art-
Why bother creating a masterpiece if it's going to
disappear down someone's throat? According to
design philosopher Leonard Koren, ephemeral art
has its roots in traditional Japanese
aesthetics. Two Japanese concepts -- wabi-sabi
and mono-no-aware -- hold that "many things are
beautiful precisely because they are short lived."

The Art of Nature This is why the Japanese
love the metaphor of cherry blossoms. "Because
cherry trees blossom for only a week or two
every year, when they do blossom, there is the
emotional poignancy of knowing that it is only a temporary state of affairs," writes Koren.

Speaking of Impermanence... You
could read this as a sad statement about the
plight of the polar bear or you could gape in
awe at Yamamoto's magnificent attention to
detail.

Here's one
of the many, many Anime characters Mr. Yamamoto has
painted.

The Best Part of Waking Up?
It's finding a 3D foam cat in your cup! Am I right?

Then There's This Amazing Giraffe
What better way to show off your over-the-top
creativity than crafting a sculpture of the most
vertical of creatures, the giraffe? I would have
major guilt destroying this work of art in order
to get my caffeine fix.

Mr. Yamamoto's Dedication to his Craft is Inspiring.
His intricate and beautiful works of art remind us
to find playful moments even in the most mundane
of situations. They are truly joy in a cup.
