NO-BU-RU
ART, DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
My name is David Umemoto. My journey into the arts began as an architecture intern during the early days of computer graphics.
During the pandemic, unable to access my art studio where I created my concrete sculptures, and confined at home, I sought a way to continue my creative work while involving my two young children. My work with paper began as a personal challenge: could I translate my sculpture and architectural work into a material as different as paper? Through this platform, I share pieces of that creative journey with you.
LEARN
CUT & FOLD SETS | WHAT ARE THEY?
First, it’s important to note that these are entirely digital products, consisting of downloadable files—no physical items will be shipped.
Each product includes templates and instructions, enabling you to create a variety of paper constructions at home.
I’ve designed templates and instructions in PDF format so you can create all these models yourself using basic materials and tools. They can be printed at home and cut with a precision knife and ruler. If you have a crafting machine, like a Cricut or Silhouette blade cutter, this is a great opportunity to use it—vector formats in DXF/SVG are also included.
Happy crafting!

GET MORE DETAILS ON SELECTED PRODUCTS
There’s only so much you can share in a product description, so I’ve created this section to provide more in-depth information about each Cut & Fold template set. Here, you’ll find additional photos, layout examples, and instruction videos to help you explore their full potential.
Featured Sets
EXPAND YOUR CREATIVITY
The models in the template sets are designed as standalone objects and are presented as part of a series. But once you’ve completed them, why stop there? Why not take things further?
Experiment with scale, try different materials, mix up series, glue pieces together, add lighting, or even design your own creations! Let your creativity flow and see where it takes you.
