The Kanmon Straits (関門海峡 Kanmon Kaikyō) or the Straits of Shimonoseki is the stretch of water separating two of Japan's four main islands. The Kanmon Straits can be crossed in a number of ways, the oldest of which are the ferries. You can download a simple papercraft of the Kanmon Kaikyo Ferry in the picture above. I've translated the site so that you can find the link easily. Look for the link named "Iwasaki wipe the paper."
