Product Description

Product Description
Origami is an ancient Japanese craft that has grown into a a 21st century art form. In this book, traditional classics, such as the famous Japanese crane sit side-by-side with modern pieces designed by one of the world's most respected origamists. Modular pieces and cute creatures alike are included in this all-encompassing collection of paperfolds. Over 80 projects are photographed and clearly described at every stage to ensure they are as straightforward as possible. Whether you want to make a paper dove or masu box, origami animals or action toys, this handbook has something to offer.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent first book, 27 Sep 2004
By A Customer
This was recommended from an origami enthusiast (who has many origami books)I found on the web. His recommendation was spot-on as an excellent book to start origami which is above child level but not to advanced standard. It is very well presented with good quality colour photographs and has a variety of subjects. I particularly like the little lidded boxes you can fold; very simple and effective. The explanations are provided through photographs not drawings, so following them is fairly easy once you've orientated your paper to look like the photograph. A great starter book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on this topic, 9 Jul 2006
By Spider Monkey (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This is probably one of the best introductory books on origami. It is printed on good quality paper and has beautiful photography. It explained the various techniques very clearly and guides you step by step in your discovery of this amazing art form. Buy and give it a try!
