POPSOrigami: 15 Most Amazing Paper Sculptures History: Origami originated in China as "Zhe Zhi" in the first or second century AD, and it reached Japan in the sixth century. Over the next few hundred years, origami became familiar in many aspects of Japanese culture. By the Heian period of Japanese history, origami was a significant aspect of Japanese ceremony. Samurai warriors would exchange gifts adorned with noshi, a sort of good luck token made of folded strips of paper. Origami butterflies were used during the celebration of Shinto weddings to represent the bride and groom. In the 1960's the art of origami began to spread out, first with modular origami and then with various movements developing, including the kirikomi. http://www.answers.com/topic/origami?cat=technology thanks to alanocu and einbar>

POPSColorful, pop-surreal, beautifully drawn art by Yosuke Ueno THANKS TO CLIPMARKS USER YOMOGI for this one; clip from this morning had a few images scaled down, but I really thought these were nice, so I captured the entire set at actual size.... a weird blend (but a lot of fun) beautifully drawn imageries, with a big dose of irrelevance - Yosuke Ueno is a young Japanese artist who paints in a style very close to the pop surrealist artists from America.
