I'd Live There: Amazing Papercraft Castle

This is a castle made entirely of paper. And I think we can all agree: it's pretty much the big bad wolf's wet dream-home.
I had the immense opportunity to see this wonderful paper craft art installation by a genius of the name of Wataru Itou, a young student of a major art university here in Tokyo. The installation is hand made over four years of hard work, complete with electrical lights and a moving train, all made of paper!
Normally when I see something this all I can think about is wanting to burn it. But not in this case, it's just too beautiful. Huh? What do you mean what's behind my back? Oh, these? Just some fireworks.
Hit the jump for a couple more, then the link for a bunch of nicer high-res joints.
