Kohei Uchimura doesn't punch in on a company time clock to begin his workday. Instead, the Nagasaki Prefecture native dons a gymnast's uniform, and like iconic painters Pablo Picasso, El Greco, et al, his daily existence is focused on producing a masterpiece.

For the masses to see, there may not be a picture of Uchimura's work on a daily basis, but the results are indicative of his masterful skills.

Of course, it's a different kind of art, with a different kind of canvas. Six items are required: a mat for the floor exercise, as well as the pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bars.
