In order to make his samurais, archers, and all kind of different warriors, Könkkölä uses a combination of dry and wet origami techniques while avoiding ripping or cutting the paper. Some of the pieces can take up to 50 hours to create, while the whole process from planning and designing to execution can take months.

“There are several hundreds of steps to fold it from the square and there are probably thousands of individual folds,” the artist describes his creative process.

Maybe the most impressive thing about Könkkölä and his origami is that he never had a formal education. He is self-taught and has been perfecting his skills through books and video tutorials for the past 15 years.

Back in 2015 he started a 100-days project, where he wanted to fold and decorate one origami crane every single day. However, once he reached his goal, he made another ambitious decision and continued his project until he reached 365 cranes in 365 days. But he didn’t stop there, he set up another goal to himself: he was going to attempt to fold and decorate one origami crane, every single day, until he would reach 1000 cranes in 1000 days, which, according to the Japanese tradition will grant the folder a wish.

His tiny and colorful masterpieces are mostly inspired by the Greek mythology, the Japanese folklore, nature and his own personal experiences.
