Creative origami: How to turn inspiration into form: Ideas, realization, and development of shapes Japanese Craft Book

Release date: ‎ 2024/1/9
Language ‏ : ‎ Japanese
Book: ‎ 192 pages

The second edition expands on the theme of "Creative Origami Ideas and Techniques" published in August 2022.
This time, the theme is "thinking", which is the starting point for creative origami.

While actually folding the work, we will introduce techniques for making the work more sophisticated by adding patterns, adding details, and changing the folding method.

``Mitate'' starts with ``it looks like something.'' Sometimes the folded paper looks like something, such as traditional basic shapes, geometric folding patterns, or simple folds, and I use that as a starting point to come up with ideas.
Work examples) Walrus, raccoon dog, etc.

"Change" involves evolving works with the same theme or transforming them into different works.
Work examples) Fish → striped horse mackerel, penguin → advanced penguin, etc.

When it comes to ``reducing'' it is important to think about what cannot be reduced (and what should remain). By determining what is unnecessary in the design and removing the expressions, new products that are easy to fold and look great are created.
Examples of works) Toucan, hourglass objects, etc.

In ``Add,'' we add a little seasoning or characteristic elements, or we dare to fold works that are often made of multiple pieces of paper into a single piece.
Work examples) Platypus, Shachihoko, etc.
