Sunday in the Park with Sadako

Sunday in the Park with Sadako A folder’s pilgrimage to Hiroshima by Marcus The first thing that hits you when you enter Hiroshima is the sheer mundanity of the place. From the train station alone, you get all the usual Japanese things: the saccharine music playing over the speakers, the identical white shirts and black pants and work bags of bustling salarymen, the shops in neat, orderly glass cubes selling bento boxes or coffee or jewelry. Sometimes there’s a baseball game, and everyone is wearing red Hiroshima Carp uniforms and chattering excitedly. The feeling is uncanny; after a couple hours, you adjust to the atmosphere, bathe in the relaxed energy of the citizens, and almost forget about the atom bomb. That is, until you get to the dome. On August 6, 1945, the uranium bomb known as Little Boy was dropped directly over the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. Everyone inside was killed instantly, but much of the hall’s sturdy structure

What I've Learned From Folding Every Robert Lang Insect

Okay, the title's a bit of a misnomer; I have not folded every insect ever designed by Robert J. Lang. That would include things like the box-pleated Stag Beetle , the Yellow Jacket , and Snack Time . But I have folded the entirety of Origami Insects and their Kin and Origami Insects II , his two published books of insect and arthropod models. Furthermore, I have folded them all from three-inch tissue paper. Yes, really. I don't approve of virtuosity for virtuosity's sake, as I've explained previously in Everything is Awesome . Origami should be about more than showing off. But I feel this is different for two reasons. First, this isn't really a grand display of virtuosity. If you want to see one of those, Lang's own renditions should suffice. I make plenty of interpretive mistakes, leaving some flaps too thin and showing too many layers in others. I've struggled with these, and the finished models reflect the struggle that went into them. I feel that&#

My Favorite Works: Satoshi Kamiya's Cicada Nymph

My Favorite Works: Satoshi Kamiya’s Cicada Nymph by Marcus Part 0: Introduction The chief appeal of an origami insect, above all else, is difficulty. This manifests itself in two ways, one internal and one external. Internally, origami insects present us with a challenge, an opportunity for folders to hone their technical skills. Insects and other arthropods are rife with sinks, wraparounds, collapses, and other difficult maneuvers, and are very rewarding to successfully complete. The demands of insects on one’s paper are also great, and insects are often what drives folders to seek out specialized paper. Externally, insects make good showpieces, and many an ambitious young folder–myself included–has shown one to a friend or classmate precisely for that “Wow!” factor. Origami insects fascinate others, especially as they become more complex and naturalistic. The more inconceivable the result, the more powerful its impact becomes. But rarely, an insect
