Juho Könkkölä, a Finnish origami artist, has just released images of his new work, an origami samurai made from a single piece of paper.

The sculpture started off as a 95cm x 95cm sheet of Wenzhou paper, and took over 50 hours to complete. Joho spent the next few days carefully planning the intricate paper samurai by laying out detailed creases and folds. Then, with clips, water, a brush, and a hairdryer, Könkkölä carefully shaped the sculpture.

The end result is a self-standing 21cm-tall origami sculpture of the samurai in great detail. Watch the video below where the artist demonstrated the various steps it took in completing the project.
