Japanese sushi sunflowers

In an effort to promote the publication of his new book on decorative delectables, Japanese sushi chef and show off, Ken Kawasumi, opted to recreate Van Gogh’s Sunflowers with sushi. Which, while far from a facsimile, is still a fair effort considering it’s made of fish.

However, rather than throwing his readers in at the deep end, judging by the book’s cover, Kawasumi-san will thankfully start proceedings off with mammals before moving on to the more complicated masterpieces.

    Now what the hell is that one on the far right (and left) of the third picture, near the bottom, supposed to be?
    It looks to me like a deformed radish with a nipple…
