3D puzzle Paper Craft - Shadowbox Body Armor (Ieyasu Tokugawa) - Made In Japan

SHADOWBOX BODY ARMOR (IEYASU TOKUGAWA). It can be said that body armor was practical piece of art, protecting the body from attacks while lavishly decorating it using lacquer, ironmongery, leather, etc. High ranking warriors had distinct body armors as display of their beliefs, goals and faith. Ieyasu Tokugawa is the first shogun of the Tokugawa family which succeeded in peaceful rein of unified Japan for over 250 years from 1603 to 1867 known as the Edo Era. The lines produced by paper craft are delicately depicting the body armor in a simple yet dignifying way. Japanese have historically used paper as means of entertainment; origami, paper balloon, paper dolls, paper sumo wrestling, paper popgun, etc. What they all have in common is that a simple sheet of paper is turned dimensional to create a whole new toy. The 3D paper craft follows suit in spirit. By just connecting the panels with connecting pieces, a plain sheet of paper turns into a dimensional shadowbox. Enjoy the feel and colors of Japan.
