Danilo Schwarz and Meire Matayoshi from São Paulo, Brazil decided to take their appreciate of the art form a step further.
The pair have now broken a Guinness World Records title for the largest display of origami dogs with a total of 1,010 creations.
The dogs were assembled over 60 days using red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple paper.
All the colours of the rainbow! 🌈
Meire makes origami professionally. She was born in Brazil, but she is of Japanese descent.
She loves exploring her Japanese heritage and tradition through the art of origami.
Danilo however knew nothing about origami before the he decided to break this record.
He is an astrologer who was determined to craft something that was impressive, challenging, and dog-related with his friend, Meire.
Meire taught Danilo how to create the perfect origami dog.
To Danilo and Meire, dogs represent the ultimate companion, an animal who has unconditional love with humans. Well, dogs are amazing aren't they?
This remarkable project was executed within the quarantine period due to COVID-19.
“Folding is a therapy. You start the initial folds and, before you know it, you already have the piece ready. Maybe at the beginning, the folding doesn't go exactly the way you want, but you have to keep trying, and it will become easier with practice.” -Meire
The 1,010 origami dogs represent the homeless dogs that are looking for a home.
Danilo plans to continue breaking records and wants to lead the largest astrology class in the world.
