Some people have hobbies. Other people are obsessive. But when the two cross paths, this is what you get. Japanese twitter user @Kya7y recently unearthed an incredibly detailed maze that her father created almost 30 years ago. When pressed for details, the father explained that he spent 7 years creating the map on A1 size paper, which is about 33 x 23 inches.
Unsure what to do with the discovery, @Kya7y reached out on twitter but was quickly inundated with requests to receive copies. I wonder how long it would take to finish the maze?
[Update] People have been asking @Kya7y about her father. Everyone seems to want to know more about the man behind this amazing maze. This morning she wrote, “Where does my father work? At a public university!! In the athletic department!!! As a janitor.”
[Update 2] The maze is currently available in our shop ($43). We also began carrying version 2.0 ($35).

I’d love a copy of this, interested in such a complex challenge and it should be fun to record how long it takes to solve it.

dense, filled with complexity and designed by a man who many would assume to not qualify as an “artist”. It speaks on the reductive nature of the title of ones occupation in societies as well.
need it for both it’s philosophical and artistic gravity….
