A frog specimen is displayed at the booth of Iori Tomita's "New World Transparent Specimen," as part of the biannual Design Festa international art event in Tokyo, on Saturday. Tomita's colorful ornaments, such as flounder, frog, and mouse, are made by dyeing bones magenta and cartilage blue.

If you like biology, I think they're great. I'm not that interested in physiology myself, but they're hardly morbid. About as morbid as the chicken bones on your plate after dinner.
