Kiri-origami creatures
07 Sep 2007
Kiri-origami artist Taketori cuts and folds paper to make realistic-looking insects. Each critter is crafted from a single sheet, without glue, and paint is often used to add to the realism. Check out his gallery of 60+ beasties (click the “写真の一覧” link on the right side of the page to display the thumbnail images).

This is not origami ! this is simple childs paper art. I did the same and if I may say so much more realistic with everything from cars and musical instruments to birds WHEN I WAS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD! Not that good at all frankly I was much better. I’m now 54 and make real musical intruments that work well and look better…. Tao… The Amazing One!

So Tao, if you did such magnificent work at age 8 and even better now, can we see some of your work??
Tao. Your arrogance makes me sick. I find that yes, the cutting does detract from the awe-inspiration, but it is still amazing work.
THAT IS COOL IT PROBLEY TOOK A LONG TIME TO MAKE THAT
i have done some of these before and it is not that easy. so Tao you need to get a life and not spend so much time on the computer offending people who make beautiful art.
THESE CREATURES LOOK SO REAL.
