INTRODUCTION
The craft of paper folding
in Japan has been passed down from mother to child for generations,
right up until the present day. Origami thus embodies skills that have
been developed through play and enjoyment over the ages. Traditional
designs, such as the popular crane - with their finely balanced artistry
and beauty - may be said to represent the living shapes of Japan.
Today
this art has spread all over the world, attracting enthusiasts in
dozens of countries, and the word ""origami"" itself has become widely
recognized and internationally accepted. Origami societies have
proliferated - in fact, the British Origami Society predates the Nippon
Origami Society by several years - and this has further enriched the art
and led to the creation of numerous innovative designs.
This
book presents a careful selection of classic and novel designs that can
be easily mastered by the beginner Notable features are-
. Clear, easy-to-understand, three-dimensional illustrations created with computer graphics. . Indications of the paper size for each design, giving the shapes and sorts of paper that can be used. . Suggestions on how to play with such origami toys as the Camera, Party Popper and the Paku-Paku Game.
