Man Spends 7 Years Drawing Maze

[Phoenix]

Almost 30 years ago a Japanese custodian sat in front of a large A1 size sheet of white paper, whipped out a pen and started drawing the beginnings of diabolically complex maze, each twist and turn springing spontaneously from his brain onto the paper without aid of a computer. The hobby would consume him as he drew in his spare time until its completion nearly 7 years later when the final labyrinth was rolled up and almost forgotten.

Think it would take a supercomputer to figure the maze out. Work of art that is.

I am very impressed!

Nope, today you have the opportunity to learn about maze solving algorithms.

Wonder if the old idea about putting your right hand on the wall and taking nothing but right turns would work............or was it left had and left turns?

Clearly I'd be done-for in a life or death maze situation.

I'm more impressed with the fact that it looks to be free-hand and he maintains very consistent widths on the even the smallest passages.

He probably could have become a Dr. in the time this took.
