Although we usually only use a few small stationery items, our crazy love for stationery is that it can always change into different appearances in ordinary places, bringing us many surprises. This is the "OMOSHIROI BLOCK paper sculpture note paper" that has recently become popular on Twitter and sparked discussion. It is not only a stationery, but also a beautiful work of art!
Hoping to continue to enjoy the short memories left by travel on the table, Osaka-based architectural model company Triad launches this OMOSHIROI BLOCK paper sculpture note paper. Before you start using it, it looks like an ordinary note paper. But when you use it one by one and gradually tear off the note paper, you will find the secret hidden in it - a Kiyomizu Temple with beautiful autumn leaves floating in the air. In front of you!
Although each piece of note paper torn off will be irregular due to the appearance of the paper sculpture, the basic practicality of the note is still retained. As long as you fold it in half according to the dotted line on the note, the rectangular block below can be used to write Add your message text, and what’s even more ingenious is that you can see the silhouette of a maiko standing upright on the folded part of the note paper. Even after you're done with the note paper, you can enjoy the paper sculptures as a piece of art that adds color to your desk.
The landscape-themed paper sculptures include not only Kyoto Kiyomizu Temple, but also Sensoji Kaminarimon Gate and Tokyo Tower. There are also paper-carved note papers with the themes of cameras, pianos, and violins, each showing a detailed and exquisite design.
Of course the paper sculptures are unique and ingeniousThe price of strips of paper is not cheap, and the price varies with the difficulty of each type of construction. For example, simpler violins and cameras cost 3,800 yen, Tokyo Tower costs 5,800 yen, and more complex pianos, Kiyomizu Temple and Sensoji Temple’s Kaminarimon Gate cost 10,000 yen.
However, even if you are determined to buy beautiful paper-carved notes, it may not be easy to buy them even if you want to spend money. The paper-carved notes are so popular that Triad’s official website is so busy that it can’t be accessed. The only physical stores selling them are Tokyu Handcraft Museum Umeda Store and Kyoto Kyoto Design House. The supply must be in short supply (the Umeda store seems to be closed). Sold out, future resale time to be determined).
