The secrets of folding these archetypically Japanese origami figures from the deepest reaches of their cultural identity have been handed down within families since the 17th century, when the art became a universally popular way of expression. This wonderful book for beginners and confirmed folders alike introduces designs such as the seminally popular tsuru (crane), as well as the samurai helmet, goldfish, dove, cat & dog faces, whale, tulip, ninja star and many others Densho origami figures are all simple, but beautiful and balanced. While some require more folding than others, they can all be made by anybody with a bit of practice.
