Karakuri

This project is a paper-engineered whale puppet that integrates multiple mechanical elements into a cohesive, unified design. Crafted entirely from paper and cardboard, the puppet features movable components such as a jaw, fins, and tongue, each operated by distinct paper cut-out mechanisms. Rather than separating these features into individual puppets or modules, all moving parts are seamlessly incorporated into a single, sculptural form. This interactive puppet highlights the potential of analog motion design through paper mechanics, offering a tactile and visually engaging experience.
