In this landmark origami book, Japanese expert Hisao Fukui shows you how to create incredibly detailed and realistic aquatic models - including a giant squid, a prehistoric undersea dinosaur and even a massive blue whale calf!

The step-by-step folding instructions and photos in the book present 20 amazingly lifelike models - from intermediate to complex in terms of difficulty.

The 20 projects in this book include the following models:

The Penguin - A colour-change model capturing the awkward and slightly comical appearance of these flightless aquatic birds The Polar Bear - A menacing hunter who hungrily stalks your desk or bookshelf The Crocodile - A lurking predator which is ideal for showcasing handmade papers The Manta Ray - A graceful and gentle filter feeder whose sweeping wings give you the opportunity to create a truly expressive paper sculpture And many more!
