Professor Hirotaka Hamasaki, a Japanese educator, has recently gained attention on the internet for transforming the blackboard in his classroom into a canvas for stunning works of art. During his lessons, he creates intricate illustrations inspired by classical paintings, natural landscapes, and cultural icons. However, his art is ephemeral at the end of each class, it is erased, but he shares recordings of his work on social media.

Hamasaki dedicates time to sketching complex scenes, using the blackboard in an unconventional way. His drawings are impressive for their level of detail, blending representations of famous artworks, scenes from nature, and symbols of Japanese culture. This unique approach also provides a more dynamic and engaging experience for his students.

Although his drawings are wiped away at the end of each lesson, Hamasaki uploads photos and videos of his creations online, allowing his art to be seen by thousands around the world. The transience of his work creates a fascinating contrast between the limited time of the artwork itself and its digital immortality.
