Adafruit AKARI Origami LED Lamp Shade Kit from Gakken

Delve into the traditional Japanese art of origami and produce softly lit origami paper. You can create a lampshade with either a square-folded or polygonal shape and then switch between different color lights! Each of the three LED colors can be dimmed individually or set to auto-fade.The concept and design of the AKARI Origami resulted from a collaboration between Japanese artist Hiroyuki Moriwaki and origami designer Miyuki Kawamura. While the instructions with this product come in Japanese, Gakken has thoughtfully provided an English guide for download so you can quickly start producing your own Akari Origami.This kit requires 3xAA batteries (not included) and takes roughly two hours to build. Gakken, a Japanese publishing company founded in 1946, began selling educational toys, books, magazines, and electronic kits in the 1970s, known for their smart design and relative ease of use, with a large cult following both in Japan and the United States.
