Origami 365: Includes 365 Sheets of Origami Paper for A Year of Folding Fun!
by Taro Yaguchi
With 365 sheets of paper and projects, this book will take you on a yearlong adventure of learning Origami. A Japanese past time, Origami is the art of folding paper. Author Taro Yaguchi grew up in Japan and developed a love for paper from his grandfather’s job in a Japanese paper plant. This love sparked an interest in learning to fold and eventually teaching others the art.
Packed with folding projects for both experts and beginners, it is perfect for artists of any age. Step-by-step instructions will help guide you into making ornate projects that can be used as decorations or gifts. These projects include creating paper cranes, flowers and animals. Origami 365 will have you folding simple yet sophisticated projects all year.
Taro Yaguchi’s love for paper developed as a child growing up in Japan.
The monthly flights between the U.S. and Japan became his meditative space. “How can I share the joy of origami culture with millions of people around the globe? How can I make it more accessible for everyone?” Soon, he came up with the idea of uniquely pre-printed sheets of graphic origami. He initially created and copyrighted the graphic origami of a commercial aircraft, trucks, cars and other modes of transportation.
Since then, his origami books were published and collaborations with corporations such as TOYOTA took place.
