Synopsis

PREFACE
A single sheet of paper can be turned into any imaginative figure even by a small child. This is the charm of origami. It has developed children’s creativity and dexterity for generations. There have been numerous traditional origami models, some of which are not seen any more. It is surprising that those centuries-old models often represent the most distinctive forms we can think of nowadays. In this book I introduce traditional models with a little twist to show them off, along with new creations. I hope you will share the joy of origami, doing it your way, or possibly creating innovative designs.
