Doomed is an original Japanese karakuri by Keisuke Saka who is considereed one of Japan's best paper engineers. This karakuri has the fish flapping helplessly on the cutting board.
Saka only uses a few moving parts in his designs - but yet this still has a darkly humorous feel as the fish tries to escape the sushi plate! Just follow the illustrated instructions to cut out, fold, glue and assemble.
One word on warning, its iresitbale ot adults, so if you are bying one for an adult it might make sense to get two.
