Twitter buzz on Shin Tanaka
Shin's Paper Tennis Shoes
"His passion for paper began with the familiar disposition of having no money as a student. He couldn't afford his favorite sneakers so he made life-size paper versions of them. This caught the attention of many people, most notably the shoe companies he was imitating. Since then, he has collaborated with big brands such as Nike and Adidas, and should no longer have a problem procuring his favorite shoe."

- I found Shin Tanaka´s work in the WE ARE PAPER TOYS book which I found fascinating and I made my first design with the help of another great book, URBAN PAPER. Making paper toys is a great fun, thanks for the information you have collected about this great toy maker.

- There are many things that go into creating an object of art;
Relevant ingredients and corresponding implements apart.
Devotion, dedication, perseverance of the artist for the work,
Self belief and an imagination that, at will, can go berserk.
Shin Tanaka! Shin Tanaka!
