Who would have ever thought that after finding Huzita's six axioms Hatori could have found a seventh! 
WOW! This must be why I took geometry in school. I knew someday it would come in handy!

MiracleOrigami just ain't what it used to be now that MIT is involved.
See this work of Robert Lang.
Through my search for more info I also came across Brian Chan. 
What does an MIT student do with a dead insect you ask?
Why, recreate it out of one sheet of paper of course!
Brian gives a great description on how to create this mask here. Just one sheet of paper and he says 15 minutes of your time. It took me 2o minutes. I forgot Hatori had found the seventh axiom. :(Some of these photos I took at the San Francisco Museum of Craft and Folk Art. The show The Shape of Things: Paper Traditions and Transformations
is going on now until February 15, 2009
