Wow, I am in awe of Wataru Itou’s handmade, papercraft castle. This intricate paper castle took four years to create and includes lights, a ferris wheel, and a moving train! It is on view at the Umi no Ue no Oshiro (A Castle On the Ocean—海の上のお城) exhibition at Uminohotaru.

The art direction for this is fantastic. It pokes fun at all the contrivances of Power Rangers while still keeping it interesting. It takes an interesting premise and rather than dwelling on it, proceeds to actually ask some pretty profound questions.
