Akira Yoshizawa is one of the most renowned origami artists of the modern world. He passed away in 2005 but left behind many great models for people to admire still today. He had his models exhibited at the Louvre museum and even made the art of wet folding famous. Because of his work, Yoshizawa was considered to be the person who changed origami from being a craft to becoming an art form.
Wet folding involves dampening the paper being used before folding it. It means that it has a much easier way of being folded and much more intricate models can be created.
His models are delicate and precise. He gained his techniques from his younger passion for geometry. This means that even in this day we can still admire his models. He not only created the models but created the methods of making them so that people today can now make them themselves.
Many of the 3D origami models that we can make today we owe to this talented man. Although these models may be very advanced, I hope one day you and I may just be able to attempt one of them!
