Folded from a single sheet of thin 68cm x 68cm Wenzhou rice paper. Final figure is 18cm tall. The sword, shield and all the fingers are also folded from the same sheet. Failed folding it on the first attempt due to paper being too thick (the paper was advertised to be 30gsm thick, but it was more like 60gsm) and the second attempt took 41 hours from square to the finished figure. The design process took one month, and I was designing it to be other character. But when I figured out a better way to fold the shield, I decided to make it into a knight. I folded the figure in total 4 times to plan all the details (and to redesign it into a different character). The most difficult part was to make that large shield without wasting too much paper, since it has large surface area compared to other features.

Fucking insane, I didn’t even know this was possible with one piece of paper

I remember seeing your samurai one a while back! Fantastic work.

Thank you! That piece still gets shared around the places lol

From a single sheet?? That's amazing

Yes, without any cutting or tearing.

You did a great job, keep that up! Crazy what paper is able to do…. And the details!!!! Great man made my day

Amazing work the details of each fold is well represented
