The magic of this unusual book begins with the cover, which unfolds to reveal 48 brightly coloured sheets of origami paper. Inside are reproductions of colour woodblock prints by such Japanese masters as Hiroshige, Utamaro, and Hokusai, which have inspired the origami experts Steve and Megumi Biddle to create birds, flowers, animals, and insects, all out of paper. There is historical text about each print written by a curator of Japanese art from the Metropolitan Museum. The spiral binding allows the book to lie flat, making it easy to follow the illustrated instructions for each of the 34 projects.
