Ancient Dragon, Satoshi Kamiya

Ancient Dragon, designed by Satoshi Kamiya, folded by me from one 3ft square of kraft paper. Making this dragon was a huge achievement for me, and serves as a huge milestone in my origami journey. This model was extremely complex, and is seen almost as an rite of passage for many origamists. When I originally started folding, I didn’t even believe that I would have the ability or skill to finish the model. However, after around a dozen hours of folding, I managed to finally finish the model, which was extremely rewarding. This model isn’t the cleanest, due to the thickness of the paper, but I still think it’s extremely cool, especially with the large scale.
