Created by Japanese designer Takumi Fukushima, this is the pop-up paper model version of the Potala Palace, a dzong fortress in the city of Lhasa, in Tibet. It was the winter palace of the Dalai Lamas from 1649 to 1959, has been a museum since then, and is a World Heritage Site since 1994. The palace is named after Mount Potalaka, the mythical abode of the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara. The 5th Dalai Lama started its construction in 1645 after one of his spiritual advisers, Konchog Chophel (died 1646), pointed out that the site was ideal as a seat of government, situated as it is between Drepung and Sera monasteries and the old city of Lhasa. It may overlay the remains of an earlier fortress called the White or Red Palace on the site, built by Songtsen Gampo in 637.
Criado pelo designer japonês Takumi Fukushima, este é o modelo de papel em estilo pop-up do Palácio de Potala. Ele está localizado em Lassa, no Tibete, ocupado pela China em 1950. Foi a principal residência do Dalai Lama, até à fuga do 14º Dalai Lama para Dharamsala, Índia, depois de uma revolta falhada, em 1959. Atualmente o palácio é um museu estadual da China. Recebeu o nome em referência ao Monte Potala, a morada de Cherenzig, ou Avalokiteshvara. O Palácio de Potala foi inscrito pela UNESCO no Património Mundial da Humanidade em 1994.
