A great book for summer school art teachers!!!
14 Jun 1998
While living in Japan I "accidentally" picked up Mr. Chatani's book. I was instantly amazed at the cleverness of the projects. There were famous castles, buildings, bridges and monuments. With less than $50 worth of paper, knives, and glues I began my first efforts at imitating Mr. Chatani's wonderful work. My first few projects (Nagoya Castle and the Duomo in Milano)were not very impressive, but after a week of serious effort, I began making cards that were really impressing friends and family. Then, after gaining more confidence, I began to improvise a bit, using oddly textured and colored papers, and even delicately painting the cards.
Now, as a high school teacher, I will be teaching a summer school class next month using the basic techniques learned from Mr. Chatani's book. He has had a great influence on me through his books.
He is a wonderful author, and the projects in his books are truly brilliant!
I hope he, or some one he knows, is able to pass on my sincere thanks, and the hope that he might be able to contact me or my school in the near future--perhaps with just a few words of encouragement or advice for my young pupils, who are about to study and learn from his books.
Thank you for your wonderful work Mr. Chatani!

It is worth the time to make these beautiful paper scultures
4 Feb 1999
I would recommend this book to anyone who like to create something unexpectedly lovely. I give these as gifts. At first this looks impossibly difficult, but with a little patience and persistance they will look just like the models in the book.
A classic

This thin volume explores the sculptural potential of paper with photos of each piece constructed in pure-white card stock, along with templates to help the reader really understand the magic of using a material we typically envision as two dimensional, to create objects in 3D. Conjure geometric shapes, curvilinear figures, building facades and more. Simple, clean, and designerly rather than typical craft fare. As the title suggests, this book does devote more pages to simple pop-up card design than the Author's more amazing 1983 book, Origamic Architecture (English and Japanese Edition).
