As aquascapes go it's pretty awesome in its own right, with trees made from wrapping Hygrophila polysperma around spindly branches and other tricks to imitate a terrestrial Japanese garden, viewed through a traditional Japanese house.
In the second version, however the makers have got even more elaborate, this time installing a pond, in a house, in a tank…
