Helsinki Origami by Ngai Chun Cheung

Helsinki is the capital and largest city of Finland. It is the world's northernmost metro area of over one million people, and the city is the northernmost capital of an EU member state. The Monocle magazine ranked Helsinki in 2011 the most liveable city in the world in its "Liveable Cities Index 2011". Helsinki was established as a trading town by King Gustav I of Sweden. Czar Alexander I of Russia moved the Finnish capital from Turku to Helsinki to reduce Swedish influence in Finland.

Origami by Ngai Chun Cheung is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century AD at the latest and was popularized outside of Japan in the mid-1900s. It has since then evolved into a modern art form.
