To say that Japanese balloon artist Masayoshi Matsumoto makes Balloon Animals is an understatement at the very least. His balloon animals are more like “latex sculpture.” Made only by blowing up, twisting and tucking traditional balloons, his talent is more suited to a museum than a 4 yr old’s birthday party.
