We love viewing the work of dedicated artists, just like the realistic Naruto illustrations of Sakimi chan or the beautiful Ghibli backgrounds by Naohisa Inoue. So you can bet we enjoyed seeing the unbelievably intricate maze that one Japanese Twitter user’s father is currently crafting.
Twitter user @Kya7y uploaded the photo of her father’s work in progress just five days ago and it has already been retweeted over 11,000 times. His first maze took an impressive seven years to complete…and we have a feeling it was nearly impossible to find the end.

The hand-drawn maze certainly looks impressive from far away and is even more astonishing up close!:

Now after nearly three decades, the father of @Kya7y is starting on a brand new one:
▼ “Here’s the maze my father started drawing after 32 years. He’s trying to make the design more beautiful and easier to complete. #Daughter is excited for it to be finished #I wonder if it’ll take another seven years”
【速報】お父さんが32年ぶりに迷路を描き始めました。より簡単にゴールでき、より綺麗な仕上がりを目指すらしいです。 #娘として完成が楽しみである #また7年かかるのだろうか pic.twitter.com/js7FEcYILF
