■Works of famous origami artists gather!
This is a book containing complex and original origami works by famous origami artists from Japan and overseas. We have posted instructions on how to fold 50 works in eight genres: ancient creatures, insects, birds, marine life, small animals, large animals, fantasy creatures, and a la carte.

■Continuous surprises and excitement with original works!
The original works of origami artists are very attractive, including dynamic horses and rabbits that look like they are about to move at any moment, and works based on imaginary characters that do not actually exist, such as the Grim Reaper and the Crane Alien.

■You will feel a great sense of accomplishment when you complete a difficult work!
The difficulty level is displayed for each work in 5 levels, and the difficulty level gradually increases from works with 3 stars or more. The ancient creatures and insects in the first half are relatively easy to work with, so they will be easy to work on. Many of the large animals and fantasy creatures in the second half are rated 4 stars or higher, making it difficult to fold them neatly in one go, but the sense of accomplishment when you do is great.
