Origami is an ancient Shinto art. Yet modern paper folders can still make innovations and invent new and fascinating folds. This new book brings together original and unpublished work by folders from Europe and Japan: over 60 designs, all fully explained and illustrated in colour photographs. An introductory section explains the basic folding techniques and terminology followed by five sections: * Boxes and Containers * Animals * Beautiful Cards, Envelopes and Wallets * * Magic Folds * Aerodynamic Shapes, Aeroplanes and Helicopters * This is an exceptional collection that rewards paper folders at all levels. The author, who lives in Paris, excels in designing new folds and in finding the best origami being created today - practical, durable objects of beauty that challenge and extend the talents of their maker.
