He served as a bridge between past and present--between the ancient traditional craft and the development of origami as a contemporary practice--inventing new techniques and in preserving the traditional Japanese forms. In fact, the notational system of diagrams widely used today to indicate how models are folded was developed mainly by him. Above all, Yoshizawa was responsible for elevating origami to the status of an art form. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis beautiful origami book is the first comprehensive survey of the extraordinary work of Akira Yoshizawa.
