Howl’s Paper Castle

Ward Jenkins | July 18th, 2005

howls moving castle Check this out. If you’re a fan of animation director Hayao Miyazaki’s latest, Howl’s Moving Castle, and you’re totally into paper construction, then the Japanese Espon website has just the project for you: a complete paper replica of the titular castle. Apparently there are two versions: one somewhat detailed (pictured at left), and one incredibly detailed, and much larger. Go for it.

Go HERE for the complete details on this intriguing time-waster. Scroll down a bit to see the larger version. Go HERE for the Epson site (in Japanese, of course).

(Found via In-Betweens, fps magazine’s blog.)

  • My mind just shorted out.....too much information, driving me insane.

    That's some crazy stuff.

  • There are not enough band-aids in the world to save me from all the papercuts I'd get if I attempted that...
  • When I first quickly glanced at that photo I thought it was some sort of wacky sandwich...
  • It is. But a paper one.
  • Now Boing Boing's picked up on this. Funny how the links connect.

    Hi,

    Can anyone kindly send me a copy of the Howl's moving castle paper craft?
    They kinda removed it from the Epson website.



    Thanks!

    Hi there,

    could someone send me Howl's Paper Castle as well? That would be really nice, 'cause I've been searching for it on the internet for days now and I just can't seem to find it anymore.
    If you have downloaded it and want to do someone a big favor send it to this address: frostyblizzard@gmx.de

    best wishes,
    Kat
