Origamist for the Day: Akira Yoshizawa



Yoshizawa is correctly called the master of origami. Before him, origami was just a party trick, something small, nothing special. He consider nature and origami as one, and based his models after that. Yoshizawa was the first one to dampen a sheet of paper to get rounder folds and shapes. This started the technique of wet folding, which even the masters of origami must use to really get their origami spot on.
