Hotel chef  Takashi began carving melons in 2001 after being inspired while on holiday in Thailand. He has carved flowers, figurines and even a portrait.

“I spend about one hour carving a watermelon but if I carve a simple character, it can take about 20 minutes,” he says. “Anyone can learn to carve the melons and all it takes is a little patience. Because watermelons are colorful they are attractive and because it is one of the bigger fruits it allows me to make more powerful and interesting creations”.
