Review

"This book is titled "Modern Kusudama Origami," and it is very modern in a very nice way; unlike many traditional kusudamas which required sewing or gluing, these designs lock together through clever combinations of tabs and slots, in keeping with the modern genre of modular origami to which they belong. The designs make artful use of color and efficient use of paper, giving a wide variety of beautiful forms, and providing an intellectual springboard for the reader to further develop his or her own designs." - Robert Lang
