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."
