Rahwana Hindu Demon Paper Model - by Salazar

Rahwana`s Statue in an Indonesian Temple

Indonesian designer Salazar, designer of this very original paper model, says: - "Rahwana (Sanskrit: meaning “of terrifying roar”) is one of the principal demons in Hindu mythology who battled against the popular avatar, Rama. Rahwana plays a prominent role in the famous Hindu epic, the Ramayana, where, as the king of Alengka, he is both the overlord of the army of Rakshasas (demons) and the abductor of Shinta, the wife of Rama. Rahwana’s arrogance towards the gods, and improper behavior towards Shinta, sets in motion a chain of events that culminates in an epic battle between Rahwana and Rama, which is chronicled in the Ramayana. Today, Hindus still commemorate the events of the Ramayana in drama and lore, reviving the villainous activities of Rahwana, and his seminal role in the popular Hindu myth. However, Rahwana was a tragic figure who engendered his own demise with his unfettered sexual desire and his imperious militarism. As could be expected, he continues to endure as the archetypal villain in the Hindu tradition, and is still identified as such by Hindus today."

Traditional Indonesian Mask

O designer indonésio Salazar, criador deste modelo de papel muito original, diz: - "Rahwana, ou rugido aterrador em Sânscrito, é um dos principais demônios na mitologia hindu que lutaram contra o popular avatar Rama. Rahwana desempenha um papel de destaque no famoso épico hindu, o Ramayana , onde, como o rei de Alengka , é ao mesmo tempo o senhor do exército de Rakshasas ( demônios ) e o sequestrador de Shinta , esposa de Rama. A arrogância de Rahwana para com os deuses, e comportamento inadequado para com Shinta , coloca em movimento uma cadeia de eventos que culmina em uma batalha épica entre Rahwana e Rama , que é narrada no Ramayana. Hoje , os hindus ainda comemoram os acontecimentos do Ramayana em seu folclore , revivendo as peripécias do vilão Rahwana , e seu papel seminal no mito hindu popular. No entanto, Rahwana era uma figura trágica que gerou sua própria morte com o seu desejo sexual desenfreado e seu militarismo imperial . Como seria de esperar , ele continua a resistir como sinônimo de vilão na tradição hindu."

See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil Paper Toys - by Takataka

The three wise monkeys, sometimes called the three mystic apes, are a pictorial maxim. Together they embody the proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil. There are various meanings ascribed to the monkeys and the proverb including associations with being of good mind, speech and action. In the Western world the phrase is often used to refer to those who deal with impropriety by turning a blind eye. In English, the monkeys names are often given as Mizaru, Mikazaru, and Mazaru, but the last two names were corrupted from the Japanese originals. - Wikipedia - Paper toys created by Takataka, a Japnese website.

The Three wise Monkeys statues in Toshogu Shinto Shrine, in Japan.

Os Três Macacos Sábios ilustram a porta do Estábulo Sagrado, um templo do século XVII localizado no Santuário Toshogu, na cidade de Nikko, Japão. Sua origem é baseada em um trocadilho japonês. Seus nomes são Mizaru (o que cobre os olhos), Kikazaru (o que tapa os ouvidos) e Iwazaru (o que tapa a boca), que é traduzido como não ouça o mal, não fale o mal e não veja o mal. A palavra saru, em japonês, significa macaco e tem o mesmo som da terminação verbal zaru, que está ligado à negação. - Wikipedia Paper toys do site japonês Takataka.

Construction Report - Osaka Castle Paper Model - by Canon - Part I

Been a long time since I built a paper model of  Canon Japanese website. I've built the Kumamoto Castle and some animals. I like Canon models by the variety of topics, from the simplest to the most complex and the very detailed instructions. The model I chose for this post, for example, is not the most difficult, but requires attention in assembly and I advise you to follow the order set out in the instructions. Osaka Castle is composed of 78 pieces broken down into 16 sheets of paper. Instructions occupy seven shets and are satisfactory. You need extra attention when  fold the pieces, because not all folds are well marked, I believe intentionally, for better finish. In this post you will see the first part of this assembly. If all goes well, when I finish assembling the castle, I will have a model like the picture above.

Já faz muito tempo desde que eu montei um modelo de papel do site japonês Canon. Eu já montei o Castelo Kumamoto e alguns animais. Eu gosto dos modelos da Canon pela variedade de temas, desde os mais simples aos mais complexos e pelas instruções bem detalhadas. O modelo que eu escolhi para este post, por exemplo, não é dos mais difíceis, mas exige atenção na montagem e eu aconselho  seguir a ordem estabelecida nas intruções. O Castelo de Osaka é composto de 78 peças divididas em 16 folhas de papel . As instruções ocupam sete folhas e são satisfatórias. É necessário atenção redobrada na hora de dobrar as peças, porque nem todas as dobras são bem marcadas, talvez para que o modelo tenha um acabamento melhor. Neste post você verá a primeira parte desta montagem. Mais em breve.
