Gaku carving (Takehiro Kishimoto) is Japanese carving (Mukimono)

Mukimono (literally, "removing clothes"). Gaku carves beautiful patterns into fruits and vegetables. Mukimono is a traditional Japanese decorative art that involves carving traditional images into the skins of fruits and vegetables.

Intricate Patterns Hand-Carved into Fruit and Vegetables by Takehiro Kishimoto

When he's not cooking them, Japanese chef and food artist Takehiro Kishimoto (previously) is turning fruits and vegetables into intricately carved sculptures too beautiful to eat. Using sharp handheld blades, Kishimoto combines the centuries-old art of Thai fruit carving with the Japanese art of Mukimono to decorate apples, carrots, broccoli, and broad beans with geometric patterns and elaborate designs.

These are amazing!

Carved Fruits and Vegetables - Japanese Artist

Takehiro Kishimoto carves detailed patterns into fruits and vegetables using only a knife. In Japan, the practice is referred to as Mukimono. Kishimoto commonly carves cranes, flowers, turtles, and dragons into the fruit, or pulls inspiration from traditional Japanese patterns. It can take him up to two hours to carve one vegetable. When he's done carving, he eats the food so nothing goes to waste.
