Tokyo Technical Origami - Kamiwaza

Tokyo Technical Origami - Kamiwaza

This book doesn't just offer models to fold; it offers an experience of progression. Tokyo Technical Origami - Kamiwaza brings together creations carefully selected for their visual impact, clever construction, and the satisfaction they provide once completed.

Created with the participation of the famous Orist origami circle from the University of Tokyo, this work plunges the folder into a rich and varied universe where animals, creatures, and expressive shapes come to life from a single sheet of paper.

A book designed to take your skills to the next level
