Origami

We watched a fairly depressing live-action film at Anime society last night called Hana-bi (meaning ‘fireworks’), written, directed and acted-in by the omni-skilled Takeshi Kitano. I won’t bore you with the details right now but sufficed to say it didn’t have the happiest of endings, still, a brilliant film.

A little later on a few of us reconvened to practice the ancient art of origami (paper folding) and I got a few pics:

Of course we couldn’t quite rival the proper Japanese origami masters who can make models like this in their sleep:

…now there’s skill.
