Akira Yoshizawa, Japan's Greatest Origami Master
This comprehensive collection showcases the extraordinary work of Akira Yoshizawa, the "father of modern origami." The book features detailed instructions for 60 of the master's original creations, accompanied by over 1,000 of his own drawings, as well as English translations of his writings on the art of origami, published here for the first time.
Akira Yoshizawa was a true innovator who played a pivotal role in the rebirth of origami in the modern era. He served as a bridge between the ancient traditional craft and the development of origami as a contemporary practice, inventing new techniques while preserving the traditional Japanese forms. The notational system of diagrams widely used today to indicate how models are folded was primarily developed by Yoshizawa, elevating origami to the status of an art form.
The origami projects included in this beautiful book range from the Koinobori and the Helmet to Butterflies of Every Kind, Fairy Tale Crowns and Caps, the Lion Mask, and the Tengu Masks, among many others. The book also features an explanation of Yoshizawa's personal philosophy of origami, provided by his widow, Kiyo Yoshizawa, as well as an insightful introduction from Robert Lang, a leading artist and exponent of origami art in the West.
This collection of Akira Yoshizawa's extraordinary works is the first comprehensive survey of his groundbreaking contributions to the art of origami. It offers a unique opportunity for readers to delve into the mind and creative process of a true master, whose innovative approach and dedication to the craft have left an indelible mark on the world of origami.
