A Paper Craft Castle On the Ocean

Posted in Uncategorized by tokyobling on July 1, 2009

I had the wonderful opportunity to see this wonderful paper craft art installation by a genius of the name of Wataru Itou (伊藤航), a young student of a major art university here in Tokyo. The installation is hand made over four years of hard work, complete with electrical lights and a moving train, all made of paper! Clearly, this man must have created one of the most stunning examples of Paper Craft in the world? At the exhibition you will also have the chance to see a video showing Mr. Itou at work in his studio, cutting and folding piece by piece. The exhibition is called Umi no Ue no Oshiro (A Castle On the Ocean ), 海の上のお城. It is exhibited at Umihotaru, a place which in itself is a major attraction: a service area in the middle of the ocean, right between Tokyo City and Chiba Prefecture. If you haven’t checked it out yet, use Google Earth for a close up of what is probably the weirdest parking lot in the world. Well, it’s more than a parking lot actually, but I am saving a more detailed description along with photos for another post. For now, enjoy this wonderful work of art!

      Thanks Manhattan Project! If you can read Japanese you might want to learn more about this guy who spent 4 years on this project in his room not much bigger than the castle itself. http://www.asahi.com/national/update/0218/TKY200902180005.html

          You’re probably right Em. If rents weren’t so high here in Tokyo it might well have been bigger!

Has a moving train and lots of lights. And is something I wish I could live in! It’s a Disneysque Castle made from folded and cut paper. The college student made it in his apartment, and it takes up the whole room!

    I forgot to mention that I’m very curious as to how the lighting and wiring were installed. I imagine it’s needful to design so as to suppress any fire hazard. As I gather the train is functional, I also wonder what type of engine is used in it, and whether it’s set by hand or remotely controlled.

      Thank you for the comment Valamiel! I am curious myself, but I don’t know anything about the insides of the castle. The trains moves, as well as the Ferris wheel, and lights seems to turn on an off according to a determined pattern.
