Memorial Album of Mr. Akira Yoshizawa

      

         The Father of Modern Origami , Mr.Akira Yoshizawa , passed away in March this year ( 1911 - 2005 ). In memory of his contributions to modern origami , I hereby present you a special album featuring the selected works of Mr. Akira Yoshizawa , in the hope that all origami lovers will have a glimpse at the creations by this great master in origami . Though his works are not considered to be complex , in terms of the latest development in modern origami , it is by no means easy to interpret his works agreeably , since some diagrams of his works are just rough guidelines only and you have to work very hard in order to bring life to the works of this great master.
