To tie bows many store workers can. They are used to wrapping the products they buy as gifts. But not all of them can include imagination and ingenuity in this matter. And only a few can turn this process into real creativity. Here comes the Japanese artist Maeda Baku makes real masterpieces from packing tapes.
Maeda Baku has been creating unusual bows from packing ribbons for many years. And it is not surprising that it was the Japanese who turned this occupation into a real art. After all, it was in Japan that origami was born. And knitting unusual bows has a lot in common with him.
Maeda Baku, within the framework of his Ribbonesia project, created a huge number of unusual bows from packing tape. It turns out that he mainly produces animals. These are birds, dogs, bears, cats, and even a seal playing with a ball. There are a lot of birds. For example, Baku has created a ribbon analogue of the Twitter short message service logo.
As many centuries after the appearance of origami, now more and more new forms and figures continue to appear, so Maeda Baku, one can expect, will have more than a dozen or even more than one hundred new unusual bows from the packing tape.
