- shirosamurai, on 10/12/2007, -1/+49It's called a hobby. You should get one.
- Ytse, on 10/12/2007, -3/+44Some of the details on those creations seem impossible without cutting the paper, but if you look in the white dragon segment, you can see him creating each scale without cutting or anything like that--pure origami.
Absolutely amazing! - milarepa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29That white dragon one belongs in a museum.
- ch3570r, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbR5XRxKe8c&eurl=
- geniusNOTatWORK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23BEAUTIFUL! Now, where's the tutorial?
- Pix869, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23I don't think Trogdor BUNiNATES other Dragons -- just Country-sides and other men.

He probably make lots of money from this hobby. So who's the luser here? - kifler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19I bet he gets all the girls.
- kokoni, on 10/12/2007, -14/+28Wow just Wow
- inarguable, on 10/12/2007, -5/+19Unbelievable!
Here is a direct link to the guy's website, where his full gallery is. http://www.folders.jp/ - gdm9000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Damn, can't we have an option to award more than one digg? +1000 diggs to this artist!
- postitnote, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16We found Satoshi! http://www.findsatoshi.com/index.html
- Ocelot13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13yea, ill just settle for my paper throwing stars and the water bomb cubes. i felt like i accomplished something when i made my first of each...

Few mirrors in case it goes down (is folders.jp a big site?):

I wish I had the patience for this kind of stuff. I tried to do some papercraft that was frontpaged here a few months ago and almost tore all my hair out. - biff198, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10If there was a time-lapse video of him actually MAKING the forms, then the video would have been perfect. For now, it will have to settle for second: freaking awesome
- DenTPuzz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Geez. I can just about manage a paper plane! Hats off to these guys.
- krakkinem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10That white dragon almost made me weep. Outstanding.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13Trogdor would totally kick its ass he would BURNiNATE it
- drschloss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7The epic music is 100% necessary!
- orangysb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7why are people digging him down? he posted the original link first before the guy above
- JavertHolmes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6World's most complex origami = making a perfect Klein bottle with one sheet of paper... :P
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_bottle ) - ghostlywind, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I wish i had a skill that damn cool. Props to this guy for some of the most amazing stuff i have seen.
- vuke69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Do I get points for a moebius strip?
- bobartig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I was really into origami as a child. In my early teen years, I started doing more and more complex models, like the simpler stuff in these videos. I spent two days trying to make a moth model that had 4 wings, 6 legs, and antennae, but after about 8 hours of folding on each model, my paper literally disintegrated from the folding. Most paper can only withstand 300-500 folds before turning to dust. Lacking the proper supplies, I couldn't make these type of creations.
- FenrisUlf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The second video is a time-lapse of him making a spectacular Pheonix.
- S7evyn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5If you haven't looked at his gallery you should. He made a FLYING DARTH VADER HEAD. If I need to say more, then... you must be a Star Trek fan. Because there is no other way you could be a Digger and not be fascinated by that.
Unless of course, you want to spite me.
http://www.folders.jp/g/2001/patapata.html - dtd00d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4MXC is the best game show ever! Some of you people have no taste...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4am speechless.. this is awesome..
- kirakun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I would've dug you up had you provided references to where you had found the instruction.
- vuke69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Try http://www.origamihouse.jp/book/original/kamiya/kamiya.html
- cwshea, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5@linked
Because you can't spell. - Cimlite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3What? You wouldn't watch a show where they displayed crazy origami creations? I sure would.
I will give you one thing though... why is there a little box in the top right corner showing peoples reactions? Now that's just crazy. - ijacker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i read an article in discovery about an american who was doing the same thing, but he wrote a computer proggy to do the lines for him.
this is freestyle!
edit: here it is!
http://discover.com/issues/jul-06/features/origami/ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2CSS is a a walk in the park
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You can't make a Klein bottle with a sheet of paper (or anything, for that matter). You can, however, make a 3D immersion of a Klein bottle.
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I made a swan out of paper, and also an airplane, but nobody wanted to feature me on Japanese television.
- InsideTheAsylum, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4There is a book with the ancient dragon origami instructions in it. It's 23 pages and 274 steps. I tried putting it together once but uh.... totally did not get very far.
- UnknownCzar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2sorry capt, he's right, a Klein bottle is impossible, as quoted from wikipedia:
"Picture a bottle with a hole in the bottom. Now extend the neck. Curve the neck back on itself, insert it through the side of the bottle without touching the surface (an act which is impossible in three-dimensional space)."
What you see on sale are not true Klein bottles since the neck touches the side. - ez12a, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2...and all I can make is an origami ball... =/
- blink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Check out this link to a colleague of Satoshi, who is American:

I got his Complete Book of Origami years back as a gift, a great book to check out, even just to see how some of these complex works are made. Pretty cool to see how the two artists inspire each other as well as having insight on the mathematics of origami. - SSCrow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2WoW, That blew my Mind.
I had No Idea that you could achieve those types of results through Origami. - babyblue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this one is more famous ball
http://www.origami.vancouver.bc.ca/home.html
joseph wu has pretty cool stuff too, but not as good compare to satoshi - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1digg is buggy as hell
- xister, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He meant that the simpler stuff in the vid was even too tough for him to do.
- Duncast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@cimlite
The Japanese tend to enjoy these stupid half talk show/half quiz show thing that ALWAYS have cooking involved somehow. The faces you see are the contestants / guests. As such I don't watch TV much here... annoys the hell out of me. Especially the god damn cooking! - bjohns, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@gutterpunk
Reading comprehension. - inyz, on 12/16/2008, -0/+1good job
http://www.origamivideo4u.blogspot.com - xymor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Where is it? Did the bug eat it?
- madnoh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You mean like this? http://origamiboulder.com/
- Duncast, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Theres a reason why art doesn't come cheap y'know. It's not uncommon for an artist to spend upwards (often more) of 20 hours on a single piece, in other mediums. 6 hours for something like that is dumbfounding.
