This delightful introduces you simply and clearly to the creative and fascinating Japanese art of paper folding. Over 340 superb close-up color photographs show you step by step how to make a wide variety of beautiful triple-tested color-paper models, from fanciful frogs, camels, elephants, penguins and peacocks to practical table decorations, life-like bunches of flowers, even a series of children's masks. All these and more are derived from just seven simple basic paper shapes, so with the aid of the easy-to-follow instructions and the accompanying practical picture sequences even children can join in the fun. Also illustrated are inspirational set-pieces, such as an aquarium, a forest and a lakeside, showing how you can arrange your paper models into imaginative scenarios. - from Amzon
