Mona Lisa from recycled Japanese train tickets



Employees at the Takashimaya department store in Osaka have created four reproductions of world-famous paintings using 320,000 old train tickets obtained from the nearby Nankai Namba station!

Here’s their rendition of Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa (2.3 x 1.6 meters) which consists of “pixels” formed by overlapping the black and white tickets in intricate patterns.

About 300 employees sacrificed their breaks and free time for 3 months to complete the masterpieces, which will be on display at Takashimaya until October 16th.
