Karakuri

Since my order of 
Keisuke Saka's (also info here in English) book "Karakuri" arrived
in the post the other day  
I have been busily making paper automata
from the templates inside, building up an
understanding of how these things work.

I have long been interested in automata 
and this is a great jumping off point for me,
combining paper sculpture and automata
with detailed instructions and templates.
