Deep Something » Wataru Itou http://deep.mastersfamily.org Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it. ~~Mark Twain Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:36:34 +0000 en hourly 1 Something Amazing http://deep.mastersfamily.org/2009-07-01/something-amazing/ http://deep.mastersfamily.org/2009-07-01/something-amazing/#comments Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:59:08 +0000 John http://deep.mastersfamily.org/?p=2488 The internet is great because you sometimes stumble across things that just take your breath away. I came across such a thing this morning.

What is most likely one of the largest and most intricate paper sculptures (and certainly one of the most beautiful) is on display in Tokyo at an exhibition called Umi no Ue no Oshiro (A Castle On the Ocean ). It is exhibited at Uminohotar, and was built by Wataru Itou, a young art student in Tokyo. The sculpture even has a working paper train, and took Mr. Itou over four years to complete. It is a truly amazing accomplishment.

I didn’t want the pictures to disappear, so I’ve saved them and added them to this post, but the original poster for this was Tokyobling.com.
