The Ancient Art of CanFolding

One does not achieve enlightenment by copying the actions of the Masters, but we did anyway. (Warning, folding beercans can be dangerous, make sure you wear a harnass, safetygoggles, a helmet, steel gloves, concrete boots and asbestos underpants. Don't say we didn't warn you)

Some history BierieGami® is the art of beercan folding. The word is Japanese, literally meaning "beer" (biru) "paper" (kami)."Fold beercan like paper". Please feel free to explore these pages and make use of the resources you find here. BierieGami® is usually treated as a drunk's activity. In bookstores, BierieGami® books and materials are often found only in the pervert's section; and more often than not, non-BierieGami® people will have the idea that BierieGami® is sick. Actually, there is a lot about BierieGami® that fits squarely in the adult world. Whole branches of quantum-mathematics are centered around the folding of cans in space. Theories of BierieGami® invention form the subject of yearly binges. Even the models themselves are often well beyond the comprehension of most alcoholics. Who would expect a drunk to even attempt FinkDoodle's Fartosaurus, Plipple's Bumcracker, or Sony's heated dog? Perhaps the subject matter is in part to blame for this misconception. Virtually all published BierieGami® models are of subjects even the strictest bartenders would be proud to show their smallest customers. This "family" theme is so overpowering that the idea of BierieGami® being used to express sensual or vulgar ideas comes as a true surprise when most people first hear about it. BIERIE! hopes to inject a little irreverence into the oh-so-proper non-BierieGami® world. It also aims to make available models that previously could only be shared "hand to hand". A central repository for all this stuff is really cool, and also lends acceptance and encouragement to inventors who might otherwise feel isolated or even guilty about their "sick" impulses.
