Additional Reviews:
"…no one does it better than Master Yoshizawa did and your book gives the reader an opportunity to see how even simple folds can elegantly represent the world around us." — June Sakamoto, Origami Artist
"Origami has evolved into a sophisticated global art form thanks to the creativity and generous spirit of Akira Yoshizawa. This book will open many more eyes to the magic of Yoshizawa's paper folding legacy." — Meher McArthur, Asian art historian and curator of the exhibitions Folding Paper: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami (2012-2016) and Above the Fold: New Expressions in Origami (2015-2018)
"This is a magnificent book, and it has something for everyone—from beginning folders to the most sophisticated origami designers." — Joel Stern, author of My First Origami Kit and Origami Zoo Kit
"As for the diagrammed instructions…they are beautifully drawn and easy to understand. The models range from easy to intermediate. There is elegance even in the simplest models." —Yuki's Origami Blog
"What a wonderful tribute to an origami master…Very highly recommend this book for everybody. Beautiful and fascinating publication." —GiladOrigami.com
"Akira Yoshizawa has set the benchmark for artistic expression in modern origami. As evidenced by the photos in this book, his works seem to leap off the page with a playful exuberance. Recreating this origami for yourself is surprisingly attainable, through straightforward and often clever folding sequences. Master Yoshizawa often leaves room for interpretation in the instructions so the folder is not bound by artificial landmarks." —Marc Kirschenbaum, American Origami Artist
"I really enjoy the projects in this book. The Part One projects are inspiring and amazing and the Part Two projects are easy to follow. I hope you will check it out." —Crafty Moms Share blog
This collection of projects by the "father of modern origami" contains detailed instructions for 60 of the master's original works.
Master origami artist Akira Yoshizawa was a true innovator who played a seminal role in the rebirth of origami in the modern world. He served as a bridge between past and present—between the ancient traditional craft and the development of origami as a contemporary practice—inventing new techniques and in preserving the traditional Japanese forms. In fact, the notational system of diagrams widely used today to indicate how models are folded was developed mainly by him. Above all, Yoshizawa was responsible for elevating origami to the status of an art form.
This beautiful origami book is the first comprehensive survey of the extraordinary work of Akira Yoshizawa. In addition to 60 models from his private collection, it features over 1,000 original drawings by the artist, and English translations of his writings in Japanese on origami, all of which are published here for the very first time.
