Ah yes, Maggie that's a long-time favorite.. in fact when I saw the thread topic I assumed somebody had noticed that picture and was posting it!

As a consumer of both anime and books on origami, it's always fascinating the little Japanese quirks I run across periodically. (My favorite line was from an article in Wired magazine about branding in Japan. They were talking about the popularit of Hello Kitty... "You can find Hello Kitty vibrators and douches, but don't look for letter openers. Since they have sharp edges and might hurt somebody, [whatever company it is] won't license the character for them)."
