Almost 30 years ago, a Japanese custodian sat in front of a large
A1 size sheet of white paper, whipped out a pen and started drawing the
beginnings of diabolically complex maze, each twist and turn springing
spontaneously from his brain onto the paper without aid of a computer.
The hobby would consume him as he drew in his spare time until its
completion nearly 7 years later when the final labyrinth was rolled up
and almost forgotten.
Twitter user@Kya7y was recently going through some of her father’s old things (he’s still a custodian at a public university) when she happened upon the maze and snapped a few photos to share on Twitter. She was quickly inundated by requests from friends and eventually strangers who had endless questions, the most obvious being: are you making prints!? I’m not sure if prints will be made (I’ll definitely let you know if I hear anything), but it still boggles the mind simply looking at these few snapshots.
