5.0 out of 5 stars Definetly Fuse's best english book, Jan 5 2003

This review is from: Unit Origami: Multidimensional Transformations (Paperback)

Tomoko Fuse is popular for her amazing origami figures that she creates with unique units (over 50 books in print). This book is no exeption. Possibly her best book ever, this book is a combination of all her most interesting items taken from her other books in Japanese and Korean. I own a few of the forgein language books and I find many things in the book that I enjoy folding, and many that I hate. This book has MOST of the cooler items from her most famous books. If you are a fan of unit origami or just like geometry, then buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book about modular origami, not for the impatient, July 14 2000

This review is from: Unit Origami: Multidimensional Transformations (Paperback)

Fuse has written a book all about one of her favorite areas of origmami: modular creations. Modular origami is created when you fold multiple copies of the same unit and then work them together to create a larger model. It looks gorgeous, but can be very time consuming and frustrating if your model is made of 60 units. I like this book alot, but it is clear that Fuse's ability to fold is light years beyond mine. Still, she always gives clear directions and diagramms so that if you are patient you can make gorgeous models.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unit Origami : Multidimensional Transformations, Aug 25 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Unit Origami: Multidimensional Transformations (Paperback)

This book is absolutely fascinating. I am a graphic designer by profession and love all crafts. This book has transformed the way I look at paper. I would have never imagined that it is possible to make such objects. I have never done any folding before and still could do all the projects. The instructions are very clear and with a little patience one can be very satisfied with the results. This is a great book and would recommend it heartily. Nothing but Brilliant.
