Origami
2004 November 6
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:
Colored origami paper from Muji
Helping hands
Solitary crane
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.

how to fold a ” dragon “
Hmm, the dragon was made by a pro – no idea how he did it!!
These guys who make origamis must be very patients, i suppose…
Very patient!!
That some complacated dragon, i made an ameture one n it luks more like a think chicken :S
who eva did tht man i wish i was u
Wow!!! Do you know or rather, do someone know where could I get the diagram for that dragon? I love its appearance!!!
dude that was awesome, could i get the instructions on that thing? XD
That man has incredible skill. It must have taken years of paperfolding to be skilled enough to make something like this.

Hi, could you tell me who the origsmi expert is who made the dragon, or could you tell me where I can find more pictures of this identical dragon.

The expert is Joseph Wu – you can find his website here – http://www.origami.as/
Sweet… i don’t think there would be any instuctions for that because those diagrams were hard to come up with and i doubt that they would want to share the knowledge with you. but there is this one website that can show you…sorry it’s in pdf form…just google ‘dragon in flight’ and it’ll pop up. they have a youtube video for that too.
