This book provides an introduction to the Japanese art of paper sculpture. A glance inside will show the examples (over 110 photos) to be as beautiful in themselves as they have been beautifully printed in Japan. Hiroshi Ogawa's approach is practical, too - not only does he give general instructions and suggestions, but there are explanatory illustrations and notes to accompany all the photos.
