We Have All Heard Of Origami,

but here is a new version,


 not of animals as we have seen so often in the past,

 but kinetic origami, 

Brazil-based origami artist Jo Nakashima creates seemingly impossible kinetic origami out of modular cubes,

each interconnected box is individually folded and then strategically incorporated into the larger unit to create a movable structure that shape-shifts in the user’s hands,


the 9-unit design shown below is based on the “Pandora’s Box” by Yami Yamauchi, and Nakashima describes the difficulty level as “easy”, well easy for him to say, for myself a forest of trees would be needed for the paper before I could even remotely make one of these! to see more of Nakashima’s creations, including frequent step-by-step tutorials, on YouTube and Instagram, the top of the first two videos is short, the second defiantly a coffee or two job.
