Haruki Nakamura : kirigami toys.

  You can download the paper pattern PDF from here.

 

Japanese designer Haruki Nakamura has a knack for creating all kinds of interesting paper objects from puzzles to kirigami toys.

The word ‘kirigami’ describes a form of manipulating paper similar to origami.  However, where origami is the art of folding paper, in kirigami you fold and cut paper.

The word ‘karakuri’ relates to a type of automated paper puppet that has hidden inner mechanisms, enabling it to move or form into another shape with minimal handling.  Nakamura uses this technique to hide surprises within his creations.
