| "Doomed" A Kinetic Paper Sculpture Kit |
 Japanese Karakuri (roughly "trick mechanism") are devices whose mechanical movement is designed solely to amuse or surprise. This amusing papercraft kit is by Japanese designer Keisuke Saka, one of Japans most honored paper engineers. His beautiful designs are thoughtful using only a few moving parts, yet producing elegant movement.
The kit requires cutting (scissors and a craft knife), folding, and gluing (white school glue) to assemble. Each one takes less than two hours of time to complete. When the wheel under the table is turned, the fish’s tail flips up and down in resistance to the impending chef’s knife. The kit is printed on quality paper and packed in a 8-1/2" x 11" sleeve with a colorful cover boldly showing each model.
