Actually, there is some better stuff made by Robert Lang. I went to one of his lectures and found it absolutely fascinating. He uses lasers to score the paper based on mathematical equations that he designs himself.

 

 

He said that he actually makes enough from origami to make a living by doing advertising for companies. He also designed a folding mechanism for a NASA telescope's lense so a larger lense could be carried up to orbit. On top of that, he's one of the top laser physicists in the world. The guy is incredible.

I was actually surprised how many words I understood but I can't understand it completely. I'm only studying Japanese since October last year (with January and February doing nothing because it was exams and vacation), so actually only 4 months so far.

I think that's really neat. My best friend in preschool/kindergarten was from Japan, and I remember having little origami things all over my house. I can't remember if we made them or her mom made them. Obviously none of them were as complex as THAT, and some of them were truly awful, so I'm sure we made at least some of them.

I LOVE Dragons and the effort and time that must go into something as amazingly beautiful as that red Dragon is just stunning.
