Japanese Patterns - Origami Book (Paperback)

Origami is the more than a thousand year old Japanese art of paper folding. In the 19th century, paper folding also became popular in Europe and now it is loved all over the world. Origami is often meant to be decorative, but it can be practical as well: envelopes, folders and boxes can be created by simply folding a sheet of paper in the right way. The possibilities are endless, ranging from simple shapes for children to play with to very intricate structures. This book contains 96 beautifully designed origami sheets that can be easily removed. Included are a few folding diagrams; many more can be found for free on the internet.
