You may look at an empty candy box or ramen package and think of it as nothing more than trash - not Japanese artist Harukiru, though. The talented creator is able to repurpose packaging from used products and create true works of art!
If this type of art sounds familiar to you, you may have heard of “kirigami” (not to be confused with “origami”), which dates back to the seventh century. Rather than manipulating a single sheet of paper by folding, kirigami also involves cutting, which opens up a lot more creative possibilities.
Check out some of Harukiru’s newest creations below. If you’d like to see more, check out our previous posts about the artist: here, here, and here.

OMG this is cute, the bird outside its cage, with toys to play with, eventually the artist has birds herself??? Er I think it´s a woman. Please tell me if I´m wrong. But such art is usually rather made by a woman than by a man.

Great idea, but the artist must´ve eaten a lot of such curries or whatever the food was.

These cookies´re also available in Germany from Bahlsen and other brands, I loved them too as a teenager. But I really do not have a "sweet tooth" anymore, as snack I prefer chili or wasabi peanuts or so. The spicier, the better.

What's actually in the box? I find that Genki-Denki seems to sell home and commercial air conditioners.

Why do I have to think of the song "Piano Man" (Billy Joel) when I look at this artwork LOL???

Yay, let´s start for an adventure in a balloon!!! By the way, in Germany we say you drive or ride a baloon and don´t fly it, no idea what they say in other countries.

We know these cookie sticks with chocolate as "Mikado" in Germany, with milk and dark chocolate, I loved them as a teenager, but now I do not have a "sweet tooth" anymore. Great action figure, might be Spiderman or so.

I follow the artist on the social media that Hidreley posted, but I´m often wondering why the upvotes become less and less, the further I scroll down the posts, I always thought the Pandas checked out the whole posts, once they clicked on one, like I do. If I´m not interested in a post I leave it after the first photo and do not upvote at all.

well, the photos with less upvotes get sent to the bottom, as it's organized highest to lowest. the bottom will always have the least upvotes, that's just how it is. (also just because you read a whole post doesn't mean you like everything on it)
