Giant Origami Dinosaur Made in Japan

About 30 people gathered on the outskirts of Tokyo for an origami session of a different scale. With over 25 square meters of paper, coordination was essential to prevent the material from tearing. Children who participated in the exercise described their experience. [Kana Watanabe, Participant]: “We got inside the paper so that we could bend and fold it.” [Akinojyou Oguchi, Participant]: “Doing the first few folds to the inside was really difficult.” Nobody could have imagined what the final product would be as cranes came in and lifted up the giant paper sculpture, a Spinosaur dinosaur. The origami materials cost around 0 but creator Kazuya Matsumoto said the outcome was worth it. [Kazuya Matsumoto, Creator]: “In terms of Origami Dinosaurs, I’d have to say that this is probably the biggest in the world. For now though, I’m just relieved it’s over.” The mass origami event was organized by the Dinosaur Expo, where hundreds of dinosaur fossils are also on display.
