Insect Kirigami – A Variation of Origami



Here are amazingly lifelike kirigami artwork creations of a Japanese artist named Taketori.

Kirigami is a variation of origami where the artist is allowed to make small cuts in the paper. This enables the artist to enhance the visual presentation of the artwork, at the expense of simplicity. In traditional origami, papercutting is strictly prohibited.
