The Japanese artform of origami is a craft of elegant simplicity, and any hopeful origami practitioner knows the challenges in creating artwork from folding a single piece of paper.

One professional origami artists from Finland, Juho Könkkölä, who’s enjoyed origami from a very young age, started innovating sophisticated origami fantasy figures “out of boredom” in 2018.
