Father of Origami
Have you ever found yourself bored in class and making a paper crane? The first time I made one it was an utter fail. I was wondering who could create such a complicated way to fold a simple piece of paper and make it blossom into a piece of art. Although my paper Crane was beyond perfect and it still had its rough edges of a beginner, I was proud when I managed to make the Crane. Not so much when the teacher caught me not paying attention but it was wort.
Akira Yoshizawa who is known as the “Father of Origami”, just had his 101st birthday on March 14, 2012. He passed away at Itabashi Ward due to complications of pneumonia in 2005 on his birthday; he has just barely turned 94.
In my blog I had decided to pay my respect the the father of origami. Origami is a complicated art that deals with math and geometry. Not many people know who Akira Yoshizawa was but I thought at least I would help spread the word of such a great man. Here are some of his works he was able to create through the years.
