Jun Mitani Is A Paper Magician: Constructing Unbelievable Origami Forms From Torafu Architects’ 2D to 3D pop-up paper vases to Josh Ritter’s 12,000-piece cut and paste music video, paper remains one of the oldest and most diversely applied materials for creative expression. Today, we explore the wafer-thin constructions of Japanese computer scientist Jun Mitani. From his first intrigues with paper design to his inimitable collaboration with fashion designer Issey Miyake, the 3D origami craftsman explains his trials and triumphs with paper. The Creators Project: Please introduce yourself and your work with paper. Jun Mitani: I’m an associate professor at the Department of Computer Science, University of Tsukuba. My specialty is geometric modeling in the field of computer graphics. When did your fascination with origami begin? After that research, I thought that I should challenge origami, particularly the geometrical constraint, which is harder than in papercraft. You’ve designed various software for origami production.
