The art of Origami

This work of great value is dedicated to the master of origami Akira Yoshizawa, a great innovator and trait-d'union between past and present, as well as a supporter of the "renaissance" of this art, from the point of view of both technique and conception same as origami as a pure creative act.

The volume contains 60 models, some of which were designed to introduce children to this discipline, which form a highly representative selection of Yoshizawa's production. The presence of his original drawings and the total respect for his notational system and the original spirit of the text make the book a faithful witness to the master's philosophy.

Akira Yoshizawa, born in 1911, is the father of modern origami. In 1954 he founded the International Origami Center in Tokyo and in 1955 the first exhibition featuring his models was held in Amsterdam. His fame spread throughout the world, consecrating him as the most famous exponent of this art, pioneer of many of the techniques used in modern origami, in particular that of wet-folding or "wet fold" technique.
