The trailblazing efforts of Japanese artist Akira Yoshizawa elevated paper folding by showing how subtle shapes and figures could be created from a single sheet of paper through a variety of non-traditional folding techniques. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArtists in other parts of the world--including the United States, France, England, China and Scandinavia--took Yoshizawa's cue and pushed these techniques further and further. The result has been the emergence of many new and surprising sculptural forms created through techniques such as wet folding, curved creasing, tessellating and the application of alternative materials besides paper. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book features the work of 25 contemporary master folders who are among the most innovative origami artists working today.
