Something you may want to try out if you have abundant amounts of time and paper...
Via Neta.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Is that real? The complete piece is so neat it doesn't even look like a bunch of paper sheets stacked... looks more like it was sculpted on a rock or something.
Truly amazing!
I wonder what were the tools used for that... razor?

Wow, that's a very unique sort of art. The details are amazing.
I'm amazed at the final results, it doesn't even look like paper, it looks almost like it was carved from clay or a slab of stone.
I say it's well worth the time and effort.
