Beautiful, immense papercraft castle

Wataru Itou created an immense and breathtaking paper castle, currently exhibited at Uminohotaru in Tokyo. It took Itou, an art student, four years to complete. The pictures are a must-see, do click through.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Tokyobling here. Sorry for the lack of info in my original blog post. I was in a hurry and working on a very old mac laptop. Size is as follows: Lenght 2.4m, Width 1.8m and Height 1m. The train actually moves around and the rollerocaster appears to be functioning (but it was turned of at time I saw it, presumably because the whole thing is exhibited in what is nothing more than a glorified parking lot). I’ll blog more about the location later. Cheers!

surely not mentioning the size of the immense castle in the boingboing ref is a bit of glaring omission?
I just want to know how big they made it.

It’s only a model…

Remember how in “Beetlejuice” people would go into the model town in the attic? I think that vast, white, paper-thin castle is where Michael Jackson ended up. He’s got the whole thing to himself and I’m sure he’s very happy.
