Welcome to the Vong's Origami Kaleidoscope. The purpose of setting up this web page is to let more people have a glimpse at the development of modern origami (paper-folding).

             As a matter of fact , I only came across modern origami just a couple of years ago at a public library. The first book that attracted my attention was a book by the famous American origamist , John Montroll , - "Origami for the Enthusiast". Before this , the only decent model that I could fold was the traditional Japanese flying crane which I learned from my mother when I was a boy. At that time , like most other people , I only regarded it as some sort of recreation for children only .And this misconception is very common in those places where origami is still not very popular with the majority. However , the reason of being so may be very simple , just because they don't have the chance to look at the fruits of modern origami. Or perhaps , the only books about origami they can find in the bookstores are for children only. Even if they do find a book which suits their interest and level , there arises another point that the drawings on many origami books quite often cannot reflect the true representation of the finished models in reality. They may look either over-attractive or unintentionally undermined. This , to a certain extent , may discourage the enthusiasm from the beginners or the will-be origamists. In view of this , this web page is set up to give a true picture of how the finished models would look like by displaying a collection of photos taken from the models which I've folded . These models , which range from simple to complex , mainly come from the works by accomplished origamists all over the world especially from America , Britain , Spain and Japan etc.

             As an amateur origami lover , like me , I want to point out that you don't have to be an expert or equipped with special knowledge before you can achieve those seemingly highly complicated models. All you need is just a little bit of imagination , patience and dexterity. Most important of all , of course , is your enthusiasm for origami. Anyway , the satisfaction of being able to complete a beloved model all by yourself will surely pay for every effort of yours. Finally , I sincerely hope that more and more people will get interested in origami and be able to enjoy the fun and well-being brought by origami.
