Castle On The Ocean – Origami City (8 Photos)

An origami artist from Japan, Wataru Ito, has spent four years crafting an incredible model city from paper – but now plans to burn it down.

The entire piece – which measures 2.4m by 1.8m and is 1m high – has been crafted using only paper, which Wataru stuck together using craft glue, an art knife and hole puncher.

The centrepiece of the Origami City is a castle which is loosely based upon El Temple de la Sagrada Familia, in Barcelona, Spain

It is now being displayed for the first time at an exhibition on the artificial island of Umihotaru, near Tokyo and incredibly Wataru plans to burn the model when the show is over.
